New accessories to match your winter workouts

sats1

Winter is round the corner in the Nordic region. Darkness and despair await. But there is hope. We’ve teamed up with the fitness chain SATS and developed their product line to keep you inspired even in seasons when you´d rather stay in bed. A new bag, towel or bottle in your favourite colour is at least a start. Stay put on our news feed for more updates about the roll-out of the new SATS identity.

X/XX — 10 things we spent 20 years thinking about

essen_book

Making a summary is not always a good idea for a book, but against all the odds we’ve given it a shot.

In our book, we have tried to touch upon the fundamentals of strong and narrative brand building in a way we hope you will find entertaining. Although the book was launched at last week’s party, you can get your copy by simply emailing us at info@essen.se with your delivery and billing address. The price is 270 SEK incl. postage. Enjoy!

16 September 2011. The next 20 years of creativity have just begun.

1

Last week we physically framed the past twenty years by having a bash at our office with friends, clients and colleagues – former, present and new ones. And what a 20 years it has been! It was Richard von Essen who back in 1991 started Essen International, and by doing this he founded branding in the Nordic region. A few revolutions later, both digital and analog, there are 40 creatives, strategists and lawyers here still carrying Richard’s flag. But we are still far from done. So let’s go full speed ahead and without fear into the next 20. Buckle up!

If you missed out on the party, you can still experience some of it here…

Giveaways in happy ways

tieto1

Who said that gift articles have to be dull and monotone? Not us, and neither did Tieto. Each one of their new gifts from their internal gift shop is more brightly coloured than the last. In a line of business that is so blue and conservative, they can stand out with their joyful simplicity. We certainly feel happy when we see this, don’t you?

Autumn time=Practical time

praktikplats

We would like to welcome Patricia and Kajsa, who will be getting some practical experience with us this autumn. Patricia took her B.A. degree in Marketing at the Stockholm School of Economics last spring, and has already been working with Saatchi & Saatchi’s planner team during the summer. Kajsa graduated from Lundsberg School one year ago, and has since then been studying psychology and languages in London and New York.

Everything you didn’t know about a Master’s Degree

What is a Master’s Degree, what do you gain by having one and why should you take one at Gothenburg University? Right now, together with Gothenburg University, we are doing some analysis and communication work to enhance the university’s communication of their Master programmes. So in future both you and I will know why the combination Master’s Degree and Gothenburg University is a winning concept.
