Those who shine are still curious, keen to constantly learn from the others but also they respect other and remain humble. We are proud to bring world class professionals who are willing to spend some time with you and share. SVP and Senior Partner, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Offices, FleishmanHillard
Hello. We are Leo and Hampus – art director and copywriter at Forsman & Bodenfors in Sweden. We have worked together since 2018, mainly on the global account of Volvo Cars. Since then, our work has been awarded in every major festival. Most notably, a Cannes Grand Prix in 2019 for The E.V.A. Initiative – a campaign aiming for gender equality in all crash tests. We always strive to create work that influences culture, can’t be ignored and looks nothing like advertising. The work: Million More The Parents The E.V.A. Initiative
How do you create a relationship with the client that always puts the work first? And most importantly, how can you develop that work together? We will talk about a non-traditional collaboration with the client—and how it can lead to non-traditional creative ideas.

Creative Director, AMV BBDO Matt is an antipodean creative and the second ranked ping pong player in his family. He started his career in Auckland, New Zealand, where one of his first spec ads almost ended in his partner almost being shot by the arm defenders’ squad. True story. He’s legally allowed to talk about it now. He’s pretty sure. With this staggering pedigree, it’s no surprise Matt has worked at some of the best agencies in the world, helping run some of the world’s biggest brands, and has had his work recognised at all the big shows. Most recently, his Snickers ‘Fix the World’ campaign won the Super Clio. He’s worked at a bunch of agencies in the southern hemisphere, including Saatchi & Saatchi, DDB, and Leo Burnett. After stints in London at Mother and Saatchi, Matt moved to New York where he spent three years as a Creative Director at McCann and Droga 5. Matt is now back in London where he plies his trade as a CD at AMV London, leading the charge on global work for Mars and Bacardi brands. In advertising, we all speak the same language, and your ideas are your ticket to wherever you want to go. I’ve been lucky to have worked all around the world, and I’ll share some of the cheat codes to making great work in different markets.
Global Creative Director After a long architecture career that lasted almost 7 months and a half, Sandra decided that doing ads is more fun than doing houses. So, in 2011, she started her ad career. It was the best decision ever because she loves creating conversations. Those conversations got her awarded in all the major shows (Cannes, D&AD, Clio, One Show, ANDY, NYF, LIAA, Eurobest) and also got her titles like Copywriter of the Year or Pitch 100 Superwomen. All this helps with her parents being less mad about her dropping architecture. Sandra moved from Bucharest to London and from London to Publicis where she is currently working as a Global Creative Director. Sandra lives for pizza, pasta and Prosecco.
