Life At Bonnier - Amelia

Meet Helene Guldahl

Helene Guldahl goes from Woman to Amelia with GROW.

Helene Guldahl from Bonnier Media in Norway has packed up and left for Stockholm for three months to work under the GROW program at Bonnier Tidskrifter for Amelia.

Meet Lisa Widell

Making advertisements from scratch, Swedish GROW participant Lisa Widell expands her horizons in the U.S.

To learn as much as possible in three months - workwise, language-wise and personally - is the goal of Lisa Widell, who recently traded Stockholm and Bonnier Tidskrifter for Winter Park and the Bonnier Corporation. "To get the chance to work in another country, meet new people and learn more is difficult to say 'no' to," says Widell. "It's a possibility that not many in other companies get a chance to do."

Meet Frida Jonasson

Meeting new people, learning new things and brushing up on skills is what GROW is all about for Frida Jonasson.

What brought Frida Jonasson to Florida was her curiosity. The GROW participant, who is spending three months as production manager at Destination Weddings & Honeymoons and Islands among other titles, wanted to see how magazine production works in another country. "Sometimes you need to challenge yourself in order to grow, both professionally and personally," she says.

She’s been called Sweden’s Oprah Winfrey.  With three of the biggest Swedish magazine successes of the last 15 years under her belt, two Stora Journalistpriset (Great Journalist Awards) and the devotion of multiple generations of women readers, it’s easy to see why Amelia Adamo is the queen of magazines.

We had one foot in the sink and one in the stiletto.
