3 People Who Made Me Better: Sagmeister, Mäntymaa & Lindkvist

April 13, 2010

One of the major benefits of my line of work is that I get to work with a lot of amazing people from all over the world. They are consultants, designers, copywriters, strategists, marketing managers, logistics experts, event people, translators, web developers and all kinds of other specialists. Here are three of the more impressive [...]

Here Comes The Social Internet Bank!

January 31, 2010

Money is important to us. Control over our life situation is too. But then, how can we possibly accept Internet banks as they are today. How can we possibly think that it’s okay to, say, not be able to get a visual overview analysis of our expenses and incomes? How can we possibly put up [...]

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 topic will be how social media impacts strategies for other media channels, and it’s a topic which engages me deeply. Other speakers of the conference include business rock stars like professors Micael Dahlén [...]

March 24, 2008

Cozy My Ass

December 11, 2007

Last Sunday I read in the morning newspaper DN about a “trend”. The writer said we were all going towards a trend of “cocooning” and cozyness, away from the hectic big city life, the dirty martinis and early morning afterparties. Examples of this “coming trend” would be new cozy-brands like Filippa K Ease and such. [...]

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. Kramades och skapade förståelse. Helst skulle jag se att de limmade ihop sina huvuden som Siamesiska tvillingar och jobbade som en person. En bra [...]
