Mikael Astrom

SENIOR MARKETING EXECUTIVE STRATEGY & CREATIVE

The distance between where I grew up (Skogås, Sweden), and Los Angeles is 5500 miles. Back then it was a less favorable suburb of Stockholm, and I knew early on that I wanted to spread my wings and (at least) GTFO of dodge. So when I was offered a job in the states I jumped at the chance to experience something truly new.
