Annette Kriszat

Annette Kriszat was born in Oslo and graduated from Westerdal’s School of Communication in 1992. She started her advertising career the same year in Young & Rubican. One year later she joined Bold, a small agency that throughout the nineties became one of the most awarded in Norway. Since then, Annette has worked in major Norwegian agencies such as DMB&B;, JBR and is currently a senior creative in McCann Oslo. During her 17 years as an Art Director she has worked with some of the strongest and most exciting national brands, such as Telenor, Norsk Tipping and Statoil. Her insight and passion for advertising turned Norway’s smallest potato crisps/chips (UK/USA) factory into the market leader and today Sørlandsschips is one of the strongest brands within the Norwegian snack market. Recently her talent has brought her to international challenges as part of the team working on the global Statoil campaign. Annette’s campaigns have awarded her prizes in all the major Norwegian competitions and also international awards such as Cannes Lions, Epica and Eurobest. Her work is recognized as original, yet broadly appealing. Annette is always aiming for simplicity, and strongly believes that great communication is all about transforming an intelligent strategy into an interesting story.
