Are’s primary focus is financial communications, corporate communications, as well as media and crisis management for clients in both listed and unlisted companies.

Language is one of Are’s great passions. He holds regular writing courses and has published the book, Write Better! How to sharpen your language.

For more than 20 years, Are worked as a journalist and editor at Norwegian publications including Finansavisen and Nettavisen. He was also instrumental in establishing the financial website ‘iMarkedet’.

Prior to joining CC, Are headed financial and corporate communications at the Oslo branch of the international agency JKL (now MSL Group). He is a graduate of the University of Texas, where he studied journalism, and he holds a degree in Business Economics from BI Business School.

When Are is not at work you can find him at the cabin, or with his head buried deep in a book. Preferably both. He is married to Hilde and has four children.
