 NK wanted people to discover all the latest fashion and their new departments in the building. The department store has often been the first in Sweden with the latest trends and fashion, in the past as well as today. To prove this, we created a campaign were historic pictures from NK's archives were merged together with brand new pictures depicting the latest spring fashion. Models from the past and present were united and posed together on the same locations in the department store.Agency: Garbergs VIEW FIRST OUTDOOR VIEW SECOND OUTDOOR VIEW THIRD OUTDOOR  Sova is a brand built on helping the people of Sweden try out and find the best possible bed in store.

Agency: Garbergs VIEW THE AD Agency: Garbergs VIEW THE AD  Volvo Trucks' latest launch film has reached new heights. To demonstrate the power and strength of its four new vehicles, Volvo built a colossal 15-metre, 58-tonne truck tower, stacking its four new trucks on top of one another. Adding to that, they stood president Roger Alm on top. In the truck industry, releasing one truck is a huge project. But releasing four at the same time is almost unheard of. When renewing the entire range of heavy duty trucks, Volvo Trucks went for a different approach. The unusual film, created by Forsman & Bodenfors, is set in the dead of night and starts by showing the truck tower as a huge monolith glowing in the distance.

How? By letting them choose between opera and the one thing children dislike even more - broccoli. Opera is not only a declining art form, but also a more or less non-existing choice for a younger generation. Therefore, Folkoperan faced a rather big challenge when setting up Neil Gaiman's Coraline as a family opera.

Sweden's Goteborg Film Festival is known for its outlandish promo campaigns-last year, it invited viewers to watch horror movies while encased in a tomb. This year, it's basing its marketing on another outrageous scenario-it's asking men to undergo a gyno exam. In a campaign by agency Stendahls, director Anna Odell made a film in which she asked several prominent Swedish men to "put themselves in a woman's position" by sitting in a gynecological chair and undergoing a woman's checkup (for real, apparently). They included hockey player Borje Salming and former president of Interpol Bjorn Eriksson.VIEW OUTDOOR  You might need a pair of skis to reach the Volkswagen Passat that's been hidden somewhere in Sweden. But if you find it, you can have it. The stunt, dreamt up by agency NORD DDB and in partnership with the national ski team, is called 'The No Show Room.' The competition is a scavenger hunt, basically. The person who finds the secret 'showroom' first - a mirrored box hidden somewhere int he snowy Swedish wilds - claims the car.

Since the beginning of 2019 the swedish market is open for competitors to offer horse betting. With the forward leaning concept Expect more, the brand always aims to challenge current standards in the sportgaming industry. The purpose with this particular campaign, created by agency Akestam Holst Sweden, is underlining the fact that ATGs horses delivers more than you can expect in term of big wins. They are actually so happy for it that it calls for an opera duet and a Japanese romantic hit from the 60s. VIEW THE OPERA SPOT VIEW THE SUKIYAKI SPOT  In the films we see commercials from 1960 reused with new voice-overs pointing customers to sign-up for Skelleftea Kraft's offering: 100 % renewable force.

It's one of the most violent holiday seasons of the year. To remind us that the holidays can be far from joyful, Non-Violence created an ad that put a classic christmas song in a violent context to show the dark side of the christmas.Agency: Acne VIEW THE AD Göteborg Film Festival: 50/50 Vision Goteborg Film Festival to Challenge One-Eyed Film Industry by Launching 50/50 Vision and Promising Gender Parity in 2020 In Hollywood, 96% of film directors are men. In Europe 81% of films are directed by men. Only 20% of films shown in Swedish cinemas so far this year have female directors. We think this leads to an imbalance that makes the film industry more one-eyed than it needs to be. A film industry with more gender equality would lead to more interesting films with more perspectives and much higher definition.Agency: Stendahls VIEW THE SPOT VIEW THE PRINT AD  The first electric trams entered the streets of Gothenburg, Sweden, more than a century ago.

These ads can be seen on over 60 locations/elevators around Sweden.Agency: Garbergs VIEW OUTDOOR Länsförsäkringar (insurance company): DE:VICE In recent years, analysis of how our screen habits affect our lives has sparked fierce debate, as well as becoming a popular topic of conversation that most of us can relate to.

About every third Swede sleeps poorly, hence why there is plenty of advice and help on what to do to sleep better, from exercising to keep a cool and dark bedroom. But few make the connection between bad bed quality and bad sleep.

Bris runs through donations.Agency: Volt VIEW THE SPOT  The car industry comes with a lot of stereotypes and conventions, but for the global launch of Polestar 2, the all electric car brand chose to go in another direction from what they considered normal in the automotive industry. The campaign "Goodbye Normal" aims to fight off conventions they considered harmful and outdated. From stereotypes and gasoline, to roaring petrol engines and regular car keys. This print was featured in a centre spread, released worldwide in press such as The New York Times, Der Spiegel and Vogue as part of the global "Goodbye Normal" campaign and launch of the Polestar 2.Agency: Acne VIEW THE AD  With the holidays looming and gift giving conundrums plaguing us all, Dollar Shave Club has provided the perfect solution to everyone's problem, The Robloncho; the perfect business/leisure wear gift.

VIEW THE SPOT Fotografiska: Entrance Socks In Sweden, one of the most popular gifts for Father's Day is socks. With that in mind, how could Fotografiska (The Swedish Museum of Photography) get more people to think of a visit to the museum as the perfect gift for dad? The solution was to launch entrance socks. Socks that keep dad's feet warm, but also gave him free entrance to Fotografiska on Father's Day (and the remaining of the year).Agency: ORD&BILD VIEW OUTDOOR  With help from The Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), Apotek Hjartat has for the last few months worked on Sordidum Pharmacum - a pill made up of chemical remnants found in bodies of public water in Hyderabad, India, a key global centre for the manufacture of pharmaceutical drugs.

RISE's analysis of water in Hyderabad found traces of chemicals designed to treat epilepsy, HIV, cancer and more. The campaign was devised by Nordic-based Akestam Holst.VIEW THE SPOT  No food chain evokes more emotions than Lidl. You're either a full-blown fan or a hard to convince skeptic. So why not make opposites meet? That is the general idea behind the new campaign that launches Lidl Micromarket â a new chain of "home stores" available only for true Lidlers who want to help spread the word of smarter shopping and better living. In all channels we brought forward an offer from Lidl stating that "if you invite your most sceptical friends to your home, we'll give you everything needed to convince them."Agency: Volt VIEW THE FIRST SPOT VIEW THE SECOND SPOT VIEW THE THIRD SPOT VIEW THE FOURTH SPOT VIEW THE FIFTH SPOT Göteborg Film Festival: 50/50 Vision Goteborg Film Festival to Challenge One-Eyed Film Industry by Launching 50/50 Vision and Promising Gender Parity in 2020 In Hollywood, 96% of film directors are men.

While the life of the victim may never be the same again.Agency: Reform Act VIEW THE SPOT  What goes around, comes around, that is why at Velosophy we produce our bikes using recycled aluminium.
