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 [...]

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 [...]

December 11, 2007

Stolt androgyn halvplanner kommer ut ur garderoben

July 2, 2007

Nina, som är planner på Garbergs, och jag hade ett långt reklamprat häromdagen över en bit thaimat. Jag önskar att fler kreatörer hade såna prat med en planner. Och slöt fred.
