Based in Oslo, he began in snowboard filmmaking before transitioning to commercials, music videos, and short films. His music video work—including Kelly Lee Owens' "Throwing Lines" (UK Music Video Awards Best Dance Video Newcomer 2018), Radiohead's "If You Say The Word" (UKMVA Best Alternative 2022), and Squid's "The Blades" (UKMVA Best Rock 2023)—treats videos as short films rather than performance pieces. In commercials, Häggström directs for clients including Nike ("Haaland Body Double Auditions" with Wieden+Kennedy London), Posten ("The Reinfall" won Eurobest Gold and Silver 2024), Bank2 ("Ducks," SHOTS Ad of the Week), TV2 Norway, and Vipps. He emphasizes casting precision, low-budget innovation (mixing Super 8mm, 16mm, and digital), and treating even absurd concepts with formal rigor. His work balances comedy with visual restraint, nuanced performances, and multi-layered timing. working with CZAR (Belgium/Netherlands/France/Germany), Bacon Production (Norway), and EXIT Films (Australia/New Zealand/UK/US as of March 2026).
