Johanna, Communicator at Azote, Stockholm

I work as a communicator at the communication agency Azote, which works creatively and strategically with environmental and science communication.

My days are very varied. Some days, I work on large projects involving business and universities. Other days, I try to understand complex biochemical processes in order to formulate what an illustration could look like. I also attend networking events with our business customers. As I am responsible for some of our events, such as the Researchers’ Breakfast, I find and contact researchers to participate. 

When I was a student on the ECM programme, we visited Azote to explore potential career paths. During that visit, Robert, one of the founders, put into words exactly what I hadn’t been able to express before – how we can package environmental science so that different audiences engage with it. I asked for an internship, and here I am. 

I really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings at SLU Ultuna, where I studied. It gave me so much energy and inspiration during beautiful lunch walks and discussions on interesting subjects with my peers. Being on campus is an experience in itself!

If I were to change workplaces, I would miss the creative discussions the most. As a creative agency with a wide range of graphical designers, copywriters, communicators, and former researchers, we foster a dynamic and communicative environment. Being part of a place where knowledge is shared both creatively and strategically is very exciting.
