What we did
In the spring of 2023, San Francisco Agency and Abzu began an ongoing collaboration with two main objectives:
1. Build CEO Casper Wilstrup’s reputation and be at the top of every journalist’s list for AI in the Nordics.
2. Address audiences in scientific research and drug discovery.
Before we began the operational work to make Casper well-known, we first had to create a Comms & PR strategy. This included identifying unique company selling points, identifying the themes and topics of thought leadership that would be available to Casper, collecting and building media assets that we’ll use to support Casper’s thought leadership, and building a highly targeted and relevant media and event pitching list.
What was achieved
During our ongoing collaboration, Casper has been featured in several well-established podcasts, including IBM’s Making Data Simple, The Healthtech Podcast, the EU-Startups podcast, the AI and Digital Transformation podcast, and the AI for Pharma Growth podcast.
He’s also been featured in the written media, such as Spiceworks, The AI Journal, and Analytics Insight.
San Francisco Agency also successfully pitched Casper to speak on stage at conferences like Latitude59 and the World AI Summit in Barcelona.
