Life & Work with Andreas Ranasen of Houston

Today we’d like to introduce you to Andreas Ranasen

Andreas, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey began in the beautiful city of Gothenburg, Sweden. Growing up, I always had big dreams and aspirations that stretched beyond the horizons of my hometown. At 19 years old, I made a bold decision that would change the course of my life forever. With a one-way plane ticket in hand and just one suitcase, I set off for the United States with plenty of goals and dreams.

From the very beginning, I understood that achieving my dreams would require immense sacrifice. I dedicated myself to my goals, working tirelessly through long days, evenings, weekends, and even holidays. While others enjoyed leisure time, I was often found working late into the night, honing my skills, and pushing myself to the limits.

My career growth was not a straight path; it was filled with twists and turns, ups and downs. However, I embraced each challenge as a learning opportunity. I continuously adapted, evolved, and refined my approach, always keeping my eyes on the ultimate goal.

Today, I have the privilege of working with some of the most esteemed and exciting clients in the entertainment, fashion, and beauty industries. My portfolio includes collaborations with high-profile clients such as SKIMS, Walt Disney, Lionsgate, Half Magic Beauty, Warner Bros, and many others. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding and have allowed me to contribute to projects that resonate on a global scale and have been seen all over the world and in many publications like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and received several Clio Awards.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Definitely not. The sacrifices I’ve made throughout my journey came at a personal cost. There were moments of loneliness, self-doubt, and exhaustion. Yet, I drew strength from my vision of the future and the belief that each sacrifice was a stepping stone toward my ultimate goals. I learned to embrace the grind, knowing that it was shaping me into a stronger and more resilient individual.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
In the different fields I work in; entertainment, fashion, and beauty, I am recognized for my relentless work ethic and exceptional talent. My dedication and passion for my work have earned me a reputation as a key player in these industries, where I continuously strive to exceed expectations and deliver outstanding results.

In the entertainment industry, I have proudly self-proclaimed myself as the king of horror marketing. Over the past decade, I have been the driving force behind the social marketing campaigns for almost every major horror film that has premiered. My portfolio includes high-profile films such as SAW 10, NOPE, Scream, Candyman, M3gan, and The Exorcist: Believer, among many others. My passion for horror extends beyond just marketing; it’s an integral part of who I am. The thrill and excitement that come with promoting horror films are what drive me to push boundaries and explore new creative avenues. I am always on the lookout for ways to engage fans and create scary experiences that keep them on the edge of their seats.

In the fashion and beauty industries, I am known for my ability to bridge the gap between stunning creative work and high-performing campaigns. I am deeply passionate about overseeing beautiful and compelling marketing materials that not only captivate the audience but also drive tangible results for the brands I work with. My goal is to create campaigns that bring in new customers and generate significant revenue, ensuring that the creative vision aligns seamlessly with business objectives.

Whether it’s through a horror film campaign or a visually stunning and revenue-driving fashion or beauty campaign, my focus is always on delivering excellence. I believe in the power of creativity to make a meaningful impact.

Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
When it comes to my journey, I wish I could say that luck has played a significant role in my success. However, the reality is quite different. Throughout my career, I have been constantly faced with obstacles, both big and small. Instead of relying on luck, I have learned to navigate and overcome these obstacles through sheer determination and hard work. Each hurdle has been an opportunity for growth and learning. Whether it’s climbing over them or simply punching through them, my focus has always been on finding solutions and pushing forward.
