Hello :)

40 years old, living in Oslo, working as Lead SEO / Senior SEO & CRO Specialist at Telenor on a daily basis, and also involved in a number of other projects.
 

I have a background as a web developer and content producer, and have worked with both large and small companies, including Starcom / Publicis, NHO, Storebrand, Webhuset, and Telenor.
 

Among my personal projects, I have developed satirical initiatives such as Brevkassen, Trymflix, Teit.no, and several other websites.
 

As a fun fact, it’s worth mentioning that in the year 2000 I created one of the world’s first and most famous internet memes—the Dancing Banana GIF.
 

In 2013, I started an anonymous satire account that mocked the social media and communications industry in Norway, which received some attention in industry media. You can read a bit more about this here:

"After a year-long hiatus Trym Stene is now seriously making a comeback with satire and Someliten" - Medier24 (norwegian)

"The man behind the satire site 'Someliten' gets a job at a proper media agency. Becomes SEO manager at Starcom" - Medier24 (norwegian)

 

In 2010, a few friends and I started a gaming company that developed a web-based hacker game called Hack The Planet—similar in style to the classic Planetarion for those who remember it—where you assume the role of a hacker, attack servers, other players, and complete missions based on an extended storyline. Packed with typical game design elements, we had around 2000 active users before we eventually shut it down. You can read a short interview here:

Additionally, I have produced electronic music for several years, you can have a look at my artist website here.
