Meet Solveig

Solveig Rundquist studied journalism at university – but for nearly a decade now, she’s been working with what she calls the “dark side” of journalism, AKA brand + content marketing!

Still a writer at heart and totally obsessed with the Oxford comma, Solveig has held titles such as Storyteller, Head of Social Media, Editor, and Head of Brand & Buzz. She led the creation of an influencer marketing program at Rebtel and created the social media strategy which took Sinch organically from 4,000 to 110,000 followers in just two years. She recently became Senior Content Manager at Mentimeter, where she’s developing a new content and social strategy to take the company to new heights.
