Northvolt:
Make oil history
Behind Northvolt’s brand promise lies a clear vision – one I had the the privilege to define and articulate into three words. “Make oil history” - three words that are simple to comprehend and easy to get behind.

The Northvolt Brand
For a startup to stand out against a backdrop of global giants, Northvolt's brand identity needs to blend bold rebellious visuals, surprisingly human touches, with a minimalist aesthetic. This is voiced confidently, directly addressing audience needs with a solution-focused and optimistic tone.

Shape your track in the sandpit, get behind the wheel and race through it in VR.
Audi Sandbox invited you to shape your own racetrack in a sandpit. You could build huge jumps or wast pools of mud. After the track was scanned and rendered into a 3D model, you got to witness your own creation in VR as you raced through it in a Audi Q5 driving simulator.

Läs Upp – an app that aims to get Swedish kids reading again
Together with the awesome people at King, we created a clever app that "tricked" children to read more. The app simply replaced the screen lock with popular children’s books. So the kids simply had to read a couple of pages to unlock the tablet.

North Kingdom created Netflix' first commercials outside the U.S. The adverts was aired in 6 countries during fall 2013.
North Kingdom created Netflix' first commercials outside the U.S. The adverts was aired in 6 countries during fall 2013.
So far Netflix had relied on tactical banners and ads. Not the best way to build trust for a still unknown brand. Our approach was to bring it down a notch and give the viewers a "break" during the commercial break. (You really have to see this ad squeezed in between toothbrushes and weightwatcher ads to appreciete the calmness it brings.)
The adverts was directed by Niklas Larson, 21 years young!
It's November 2009 and Farfar is faced with the daunting task of promoting a bunch of content services offered by Comviq, Sweden's super-cheap mobile operator. The services are of the outdated kind; expensive music, crappy "TV" and some pretty okay mobile games - if you don't have an iPhone.
Lucky for us, not many of Comviq's costumers own a iPhone. Not because they don't want one but because they can't afford one. At Farfar, we decide to turn this collective yearning for cool apps into something fun: the Comviq App Store. A low-budget, ironical take on the original from Cupertino. Headed by two "scientists", the App Store not only showcases real services but also very experimental apps, bringing the telecom company very close to the edge of complete insanity.

Building 19,000 flagship stores for a dirt cheap cell company.
Almost every news stand, hot dog joint, tabac and bookie in Sweden waves a stupid flag with a dog on it. It’s to tell people where to top-up their Comviq prepaid phones. Comviq is cheap. Comviq can’t afford any swanky concept stores. But since 19,000 stores already wave the Comviq flag, why not turn each and everyone into a flagship store?

How to turn a promotion campaign into a global peace keeping mission!
Björn Borg Underwear is from Sweden. And you know what? Swedes are a bit naive. At Farfar, we took this blue-eyed attitude and turned it into great marketing. With Peace on Earth we exported one of Sweden's finest traits: staying out of war. The plan was simple: Collect people's wornout underwear and send them to a warmonger of your choice.

Every Stockholmer have a crush on England. But how do we convince the Britons that this is the case? Me and Nicke thought maybe a song might make them understand.

That's me in the corner. That's me in the spot—light…
Car ads. Don't you just love them? Always this focus on product, product, product. The new, shining, seemingly driverless car gunning its way through a tight hairpin or speeding through the salt lake desert, very close to the speed of sound.
With Infinite Drive we took the opposite approach. Instead of the outside we started with the inside. Not the inside of the car, but the inside of you. What passes through your mind as you drive a car? Well, if you're a Saab owner, you're a different breed, so naturally the thinking should reflect that.
The result was an everlasting, never-ending, introvert journey behind the wheel of a Saab 9-3 Convertible. But back in 2004 bandwidth was still a scarce resource. So to make this joy ride last forever, we looped the scenes. In the end we decided to loop the story as well, something that wasn't done before. Ikea Dream Kitchen and Philips Carousel would soon follow…
