Will Speak For Money (and Occasionally for Love)

September 29, 2009

The way I see it, public speaking is not about conveying information – books and Google do that much better than I ever can. Instead, I set out to inspire. If I can, on a good day, inspire you out there to take even one action in a powerful direction, things can start to snowball in [...]

September 21, 2009

It was more than eleven years ago that I started my academic career at the M.Sc.-program for media technology at Linköping Institute of Technology. Way back then, the web was completely different, Google didn’t exist (it was actually founded the same year), and ICQ was the name of the game for communication. But it wasn’t [...]

What the World Will Look Like in 25 Years

September 1, 2009

When I went to ad-school I felt that the school was in many respects molding people into replicas of what ad-people were supposed to be. Now I feel that this is perhaps about to change. The other day I got interview questions from Hyper Island regarding digital trends, and today I got another question from [...]

Being Efficient in an Economic Downturn

I recently read about a study from 1999 where the Israeli research team had studied 200 highly regarded advertisments – ads that were all finalists and winners in top advertising competitions. When analyzing these ads, they realized that most of them (89%) could be categorized into one of 6 different categories or templates (example: “Extreme [...]

Winning

May 28, 2008

“Winning” is a concept that fascinates us humans. Especially men seem to be fascinated by it, and have been since we were still just mamals butting heads. But there are really three types of winning.

Innovators, Painters and Poets

April 27, 2008

So I read that the Finnish agency 358 are drafting players from agencies like KesselsKramer, CPB and 180 (was with all these number names?). I also read that they’re going to work with ideas rather than advertising. Hmm… ideas rather than advertising… It sound ridiculous, but you know – I think they’re right in wording [...]

Idag tar jag fram stora sågen

February 26, 2008

Kan någon förklara de här kampanjerna/designlösningarna för mig? Vi börjar med Försvarets Hudsalva: Jag har själv jobbat med en strategi för det här varumärket när jag gick på Berghs.
