Life At Bonnier - Bonnier Publications

Meet Paula Iwanski

Experience from both sales and buying a help for award finalist.

This is Paula Iwanski's first sales job. After 17 years working in marketing on the client side, the Southington, Connecticut native decided it was time to make a change. When a sales position opened up in 2006 with Bonnier Corporation's Outdoor Group that includes Field & Stream, Outdoor Life and Shot Business, Iwanski went after it. "These were the magazines I was always pulling out of the pile and actually reading for fun," she says. "I've always been such a fan."

Her passion for the magazines shows.

Jorid Aldrin: A Night at the Opera

Jorid enjoys Copenhagen's cultural experience and works with analyse of new sites

Sunday, I just got back from a long walk in the beautiful Fredriksberg gardens which was created more than 300 years ago and is said to be one of the most romantic landscape gardens in Denmark. I can only agree. It was absolutely fantastic with large ponds and canals surrounded by old trees in autumn colours, winding paths and small bridges.

Steffen Trannerup: Suction fish, surfing and space rockets

Our GROW blogger Steffen from Denmark goes fishing and sets up a great initiative connecting Bonnier Corporation and Bonnier Publications

Testing, testing, one, two…

During my stay here in Winter Park, Heather Vessey and I have talked about how Bonnier Corp. and Bonnier Publications could share knowledge within email marketing in the future.

We want some sort of community or forum where everyone who works with this can exchange test results, creatives, campaigns, advice, etc. and share things we find inspirational. Sometimes something really stands out for some reason and these results should be spread out for everybody to use, learn and get inspired from.

Sigurd Eriksen: I can't believe it almost over

Sigurd is looking at his final days as a GROW ambassador in Finland and takes a magazine legend out for dinner

I can't believe it almost over. I'm actually checking up on my plane ticket back home already. Well, SAS have no record of it, but I have an email saying I have bought it, so I guess I'll get back to Norway somehow. Or maybe I'll just show up at work in Helsinki Monday morning. You never know.

Jorid Aldrin: Unexpected meeting at the laundromat

Our Swedish GROW ambassador Jorid finds out that it is the unexpected meetings that makes traveling alone extra exciting

One of the best things when you are traveling all by yourself or if you are living in a new country is that you meet new people that you never would have meet if you had been travelling with friends or family.

During my very first week in Denmark, I tried out the laundromat across the street from my apartment. The whole laundromat thing is new to me, because in Sweden everyone have their own washing machine or a laundry room in the basement of their apartment building that can be used only by the residents.

Sigurd Eriksen: Colorful Helsinki

Our GROW blogger Sigurd finds that there is always a naked story to tell from Finland.  

Summer is starting to be a distant memory and after several remarkable weeks of nice weather here in Helsinki the fall has finally arrived. Well — I'm not so happy for the autumn, but colder days and nights means that we are getting closer to the winter and snow, and that I love. Yesterday it actually did snow, but not for long (maybe it was more like heavy, white rain). But at least the fall brings beautiful colors and crispy air.  

Jorid Aldrin: Danish Autumn

Our Swedish GROW ambassador Jorid visits a web analytics seminar and moves to a new apartment

Autumn has arrived in Copenhagen, it's windy and cold and all the trees are starting to turn beautifully red and yellow. I just came back after an exhausting thai boxing class at the gym, the class really makes you push yourself to the limit of exhaustion but it's so much fun and a really good exercise when you are working in an office all day. Back home I normally take dance classes, but thai boxing has really become a new favorite.

Sigurd Eriksen: Still exploring

Sigurd finds out that it's pretty easy being a Norwegian in Helsinki

I've been in Helsinki for some time now and start to realise that people here is not much different from people back in Norway. Except from the language, it's pretty easy being a Norwegian in Helsinki. Well, the part with the language isn't a big problem either, since most Finns speak excellent English.

Jorid Aldrin: Busy weeks at the online department

Our GROW ambassador Jorid is checking out Vesterbros cozy coffeehouses and looking at twitter as a traffic channel

Time flies, It's almost a month since I left Sweden. In a kind of way it feels like I just arrived, but in the same time it feels like I've been here for ages and my life back home feels kind of distant.
