    This is a language school which currently offers group and private classes in Norwegian for adults. It was founded by a colleague and I. My main job is to market the school and maintain contact with students, our teachers, people we use to spread some non-internet marketing messages, and organisational partners. Marketing involves following up people that hang up posters for us (containing messages I have created), as well as me personally managing AdWords campaigns, a Facebook page, some search engine optimisation (SEO), other online marketing channels, and "sponsored content". As I am one of the school's two founders, I am also involved in general project management related to various company development issues. Website: www.languagechamp.com
