Quickfire questions with Story’s newest additions – Ellen and Emelie!

Summer meant sun, lazy days at the beach and muted cellphones, but also two new super recruitments to Story – say hi to Ellen and Emelie!

Ellen was previously PR & Social Media Manager at Futurniture and prior to that PR Advisor at JMWGolin where she worked with brands such as Lidl, Max Burgers and the Swedish Asthma & Allergy Association. She is joining Story as a Communications Advisor and Influencer Marketing specialist. Emelie studied Media & Communication at Umeå University and was our intern at Story during the spring, we’re so lucky to keep her! Emelie is joining as Junior Advisor. But who are they behind their titles? To get to know them better, we’ve asked them the most insightful questions ever asked.

If you had to listen to only one song for the rest of your life, what song would it be?

Ellen: What a horrible question, haha! I love music too much to only pick one. But since Them Changes by Thundercat has been at the top of my Spotify Unwrapped the last four years, that’s what I have to choose.

Emelie: Mannen i den vita hatten by Kent.

Your last meal is a three-course dinner, what do you choose to eat?

Ellen: Cheese, crackers and crisps for starter, pizza as main course and Kinder Maxi for dessert.

Emelie: It would be a very incoherent three-course meal. As a starter, a very tasty cheese with charcuteries. As main course I’d like to eat my grandma’s home-made meatballs with mashed potatoes. As dessert, Swedish candy!

Who would you like to have a coffee with and why?

Ellen: Billie Eilish, our generation’s coolest person.

Emelie: Greta Thunberg. A very cool girl that I think we all have much to learn from.

Secret talent?

Ellen: I’m pretty awesome at music quizzes.

Emelie: And I’m great at making music quizzes if I can say so myself. It’s always appreciated to have one up your sleeve at parties or on a road trip.

Dream client?

Ellen: There are so many! I think everyone that resonates with my values are dream clients.

Emelie: Oh, that’s a hard question! There are many dream clients. As I’m new to the sector, most clients are dream clients.

Hit us with your best podcast tips!

Ellen: Vardagsfilosofiska rummet i P3 is a favorite at the moment, it’s impossible not to laugh. Apart from that, Tankesmedjan, Det Skaver and Brita & Parisa are some favorites.

Emelie: I’m a real true crime nerd, so my two absolute favorites are Vad blir det för mord? and Mord mot mord.

What do you prefer to fill your glass with?

Ellen: Wine.

Emelie: Coke Zero and Espresso Martini.

Stockholm’s best restaurants?

Ellen: At the moment, my favorites are Garba, Mellqvist Matbar and Schmaltz.

Emelie: I’m still pretty new in Stockholm, but Bistro Boheme on Nytorget is already a favorite.

What apps do you use most?

Ellen: Instagram, Omni, Twitter and TikTok.

Emelie: The Podcaster, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

How do fill up with energy during the autumn?

Ellen: Dinner with friends and cooking that takes time! I want to stir a pot for hours. 2021 will hopefully be the year that I step up from only being a holiday reader, a good book is amazing to read after all.

Emelie: I love getting back to routines such as working out, cooking tasty food and binge watching great tv series. I also love to schedule different activities to look forward to. Maybe it’s a weekend in Örebro with the family or perhaps a concert when restrictions are lifted.

There you have it – two objectively awesome people. We’re so happy to welcome Ellen and Emelie to Story!
