An Oasis of Good Communication

September 15, 2008

Oasis releases a new album, and street musicians in New York are the first to perform the songs off of it. Trained by Liam and Noel Gallagher of course. I love this campaign. The Sjönell brothers at BBH New York engineered this thing, and it’s just solid proof of their  understanding for what makes people [...]

Into The Chrome

September 2, 2008

Monopoly-fear or not, I’m a huge fan of Google’s products. And I’ve been waiting for their new web browser for a while. Now it’s here. It’s called Chrome, and from what I’ve seen, it’s awesome. It pinpoints the one big issue that I have with Firefox – performance. To me, performance is key, since I’m [...]

Ben & Jerry’s: The Product Is The Medium

June 27, 2008

I love Ben & Jerry’s. The ice cream – sure – but now I’m talking about the brand. Ben & Jerry’s just feels genuine in a way that few brands can even get close to. How do they do it? By having a congruent personality would be the simple, but all inclusive answer. The link [...]

Smexy

April 28, 2008

“Smexy”. Smart and sexy. It’s kind of a good word, isn’t it? It’s the kind you want to marry. A brand that is smart? Google. A brand that is sexy? Ferrari. A brand that is smexy? Apple.

Goodnight Manhattan

April 17, 2008

Another day on Manhattan. This city is just so energetic. Whenever I get here I switch into some other mode where I’m just twice as creative. It’s fantastic. Goodnight Manhattan, see you tomorrow.

Och deras namn betyder… avvikelse.

April 14, 2008

Anomaly är världens mest innovativa kommunikationsbyrå om man får tro tidningen Fast Company’s lista över världens mest innovativa företag. (De är på plats 24. Designbyrån IDEO är på plats 5 men är mer inriktade på industridesign). På samma lista är Google nummer ett och Apple nummer två, så det är ingen brist på konkurrens. Varför [...]

Power Napping For The People

April 9, 2008

Tomorrow IKEA will open a power napping hotel in Gallerian downtown Stockholm. It’s free and all you need is 15 minutes and a little technique. I’m thinking this might be a good time to reprise my power napping school a few posts back, so that you won’t have to buy one of these. Here we [...]

Ogilvy on Advertising: "When Aeshines spoke, they said, ‘How well he speaks’. But when Demosthenes spoke, they said, ‘Let us march

March 24, 2008

The other day i wrote about Donny Deutsch’s book Often Wrong, Never in Doubt. Today I started flipping trough the pages written by another of advertising’s greats, David Ogilvy, in 1983. (*Interesting fact: Both Donny and his dad used to work for Ogilvy, and apparently Deutsch Sr. had a beef with David). Anyway, the two [...]

They make themselves attractive. A recent study by writer-mega-talent Karin Moberg shows that in the personals, the majority of guys brag about themselves while women say what they [...]

Jobs on Fear of Failure

March 17, 2008

Speaking of “fear of failure”, I just read a quite interesting piece in Fortune Magazine on Steve Jobs. There is one celebratory article that I haven’t read yet, and one that is titles “The Trouble With Steve Jobs” covering just that. I’ve read the second one. And it’s interesting. And I recommend it. What is [...]

Donny Deutsch on Fear of Failure

March 17, 2008

When picking up advertising executive Donny Deutsch’s business book/biography “Often Wrong, Never in Doubt” I was a bit skeptical. The guy on the cover looked… well… cheesy. And the title, I mean, isn’t it a bit smug to name a book like that? Anyway, I must say that this far the book has exceeded my [...]

I want to be a part of it

March 9, 2008

This is the view I woke up to. 30 floors above ground. Did I mention we also have a big balcony facing that way? Anyway, we headed out for a 10-kilometer morning run in Central Park. A bit chilly, but beautiful weather. A bit sleepy this one. To compensate she tried to impress me with [...]
