MOI: Tell us about your work and what excites you.

Anneli: I’m a brand strategist, educator, and brand coach. What excites me most is helping purpose-driven challenger brands, especially those focused on sustainability, grow with clarity and intention.

I also teach marketers and creative entrepreneurs to shift from doing and making to thinking strategically. Watching their transformation and seeing them step into leadership — that’s what keeps me inspired every day.

MOI: What’s the secret to getting attention and turning heads?

Anneli: For me, it’s no longer about chasing attention. The real secret is doing great work — being so good they can’t ignore you. When you show up consistently, honestly, and with real depth, people notice. In a world full of filters and facades, authenticity stands out.

MOI: What’s one of your favorite projects you’ve worked on?

Anneli: One of my proudest chapters was working with Lantmännen, Northern Europe’s largest cooperative in food, energy and agriculture. It was close to my heart — owned by Swedish farmers, like my own family. I led brand and marketing work grounded in sustainability and purpose, helping them become Sweden’s #1 sustainable brand two years. It was deeply meaningful, professionally and personally.

MOI: How do you bring a brand to life in an authentic way?

Anneli: Authentic brands start from the inside. It’s about culture, leadership, and clarity. When people in a company truly live the brand’s values, they naturally bring it to life in every touchpoint. It’s not about performance — it’s about alignment and consistency with what you truly stand for.

MOI: Talk to us about how sustainability fits into branding.

Anneli: Sustainability today isn’t optional — it’s foundational. People want to know where things come from, how they’re made, and whether brands take real responsibility. It has to be built into the product, supply chain, and communication — not just a layer of messaging. Anything else is greenwashing.

MOI: What are your thoughts on the future of sustainable branding?

Anneli: Sustainable branding will be driven by innovation and behavior change. It’s not just about how we talk — it’s about what we build. I see more services replacing products, circular models gaining traction, and brands playing an active role in nudging consumers toward more sustainable choices. Branding will be less about persuasion and more about guidance and contribution.

Campaigns: visibility matters

284 million blind or visually impaired sports fans can't fully enjoy live games. But Michelob ULTRA's Dreamcaster is set to change that. Debuted at the NBA Playoffs, they partnered with blind sports broadcaster, Cameron Black, to showcase the multisensory tech that allows visually impaired fans to feel the action of sports games through sound, haptics and AI.

Parents worry about their children's safety. But rather than stating the obvious to sell their location-sharing and tracking app, Life360 opted for a fun, gory, musical route to highlight the everyday anxieties parents face, and how they can quickly spiral into absurd and irrational fears.

Almost everybody living with motor neurone disease (MND) will lose their voice. But imagine if they didn't have to. "I Will Always Be Me" is the world's first story book to speed up "voice banking". The story contains all the sounds and syllables they need to synthesize their voice, while also allowing them to share their journeys with their loved ones. By making the process quicker, easier and full of life, they hope to encourage those with MND to bank their voices early.

Campaigns: The power of voice

In 2022, 19 children drowned in Portugal. It's a scarily quick and silent death that can be prevented by being vigilant. Interviewing a group of young children, Havas and Apsi  were able to raise awareness for children's safety by demonstrating one simple fact: it takes just half a cup of water to silence a child.

Turning Heads
Creativity with
genuine purpose
(not just for show)

(What?)

We believe that B2B marketing that genuinely turns heads isn't just creative for creativity's sake - it's driven by authentic purpose.

This is where Turning Heads™ comes in. Our proprietary thinking methodology helps us cut through the posturing to uncover what really matters.

By bringing together diverse experts to look at challenges from multiple perspectives, we ensure creativity serves a genuine purpose rather than merely decorating it. We dig deeper to find the authentic connections that drive meaningful engagement. 

Because when creativity is aligned with real purpose - not manufactured virtue - it doesn't just turn heads. It changes minds, influences behaviour, and delivers measurable outcomes that matter.

(What?)

The concept of "purpose" has undergone a curious transformation over the past decade. What began as a refreshingly human-centred approach seems to have devolved into virtue signalling, with brands desperately attempting to align with grand societal causes – authentic connection or not. 

But purpose needn't be grandiose to be meaningful. It can be focused, specific, and still make a genuine difference. Which brings me to Consider Creative – an agency demonstrating a more nuanced understanding of purpose-driven creativity. 

What's remarkable about Consider is that ‘purpose’ IS their purpose. They recognize that purpose can be smaller, more focused, and still deeply meaningful, working with organizations whose aims genuinely resonate with them. 

Their behavior change campaign for the Internet Watch Foundation perfectly exemplifies this approach. The brief focused on the specific challenge of keeping teenagers safe online – not solving world hunger but addressing an urgent issue affecting young people. 

The creative execution balances shock and humor through sexualized fruit imagery – speaking directly to teenagers in their own language. And the results speak volumes: 122 million impressions, 50% of viewers pausing to engage with display ads, and 94% of YouTube viewers watching the video to completion – far exceeding the typical 30% view rate. 

Nominated for the 2025 Drum Awards, this campaign succeeds because every aspect aligns perfectly with its purpose. It recognized the challenges with this audience and crafted a solution specifically calibrated to overcome those obstacles. 

In a landscape cluttered with purpose-washing, Consider's work stands as a refreshing reminder of what creativity with genuine purpose looks like: honest, focused and genuinely valuable to those it aims to serve.

In a world fragmented by language and culture, Coca-Cola delivers a simple yet powerful message: connection doesn’t require words. The campaign features real-life stories that highlights Coke as a universal gesture of goodwill, but it's the standout design that catches attention. With merging scripts that form the silhouette of the iconic Coca-Cola bottle, it not only symbolizes unity but also reflects the brand's global reach and cultural inclusivity.

Design: Flipping the narrative

Aluminum gets a bad rep when it comes to sustainable packaging. But rather than dodge the controversy, Nespresso flipped the narrative with its "Aluminum and Beyond" campaign. Educating consumers on aluminum’s infinite recyclability, they collaborated with artists to craft sculptures from recycled Nespresso pods. It goes beyond shouting about sustainability and offers a pragmatic solution that shows how Nespresso's products fit into a better system.

From first periods to surprising discharge smells and pain being dismissed by doctors – Bodyform's "Never Just a Period" campaign draws on humor and mixed media to open the conversation around menstrual health. Backed by a female-only orchestra, it depicts a wide range of underrepresented experiences with almost no dialogue, highlighting the staggering knowledge gap when it comes to women+ health, and why it needs to change. The spot ends with the question, ‘What do you wish you’d been told?’
