Writer. Storyteller. Brand Visionary.

We tend to remember the big events in our lives, but it’s the small moments that get us there. They are the things that determine who we are. They are the unsung heroes.

Big Picture

It all comes down to this. At the end of the day, how will people remember you? My experience as a managing editor, campaign manager, and entrepreneur makes me keenly aware of how content strategy impacts a brand in the long term.

Small Details

When I was a kid, I would sit and draw for hours at a time with the tv on, and I never really cared what I was watching. I was laser-focused on my drawing. Each stroke of the pencil would become part of the picture, so every one made a difference. Since then, my eye for detail has been refined by years of experience copywriting as a communication specialist, proofreading as a managing editor, and making sure every frame matches every musical note in every film I create for my wedding business.

Visionary Perspective

“Think different.” These words from an Apple ad from 1997 still ring true today. When this ad was released, Apple was still a struggling business. Steve Jobs had a vision, however. He saw the big picture, he saw the small details, and he had a vision for how to connect them. Now we’re seeing the same thing happen with Elon Musk and Tesla. However, seeing things differently is only half of the battle. The other half is having the courage to do something about it, even if it goes against popular opinion. This second part is one of the biggest challenges I’ve had to overcome in my work as a writer, content creator, campaign manager, and entrepreneur. However, I know first hand from starting my own filmmaking business how truly incredible it can be to realize a vision.

My story

“Your life is your life. Know it while you have it. You are marvelous. The gods wait to delight in you.”

When I heard these words from Charles Bukowski in a Levi’s ad several years ago, it sparked something in me. It was time for me to stop being scared of failure. It was time for me to “Go Forth” as the ad said. So I quit my job at GMR Marketing and headed West.

Quitting my job and moving to California with a bunch of student loan debt was a bold move to say the least, but it definitely paid off. Not only did I become the editor of an electronic music publication (Magnetic Magazine), I also proved to myself that I had the courage to do something different.

Since then, I’ve continued blazing my own trail. I led numerous marketing campaigns while at 10 Missions Media, and most recently, launched my own filmmaking business, Anders Erik Films. Throughout all my adventures, one constant has been storytelling. People may not have attention spans anymore, but I know how powerful a story can still be. After all, it was a story about jeans that inspired me to be the pioneer I am today.
