Talking Letters

In this digital age there is nothing that quite beats getting a personal letter through the post – unless of course it is a bill. This new and fun campaign for Posten was put together by Åkestam Holst’s AD Lars Holthe, PL Maria Ljung and designer Oscar Gardö. All you need is a computer and your voice – you do the talking, the computer does the writing and Posten delivers your letter.

Online shoppings best friend

Posten is one of the Nordic region’s largest operators in letter and parcel delivery services. With online shopping in Sweden increasing by over 10% in just the first half year of 2010, Posten launched a campaign to promote their extensive services within e-commerce. A series of ads were created by AD Olle Mattson och designer Jens Broman from Åkestam Holst and they were published repeatedly throughout the autumn in over 20 high profile swedish newspapers and magazines.

Bottoms up!

We have been creating ads for the swedish wine importer Apricot for over five years now and their sales are continuing from strength to strength. Cheers to that! Or as we say here in Sweden ‘Skål!’ (pronounced ’skoal’).

Friction Fighters

Just imagine… a pony, a pig, a chick, a rabbit, a cat, a lamb, a budgie, a goat, two dogs, a hamster and a mouse… all hustling to get into our photo studio at the same time! AD Fredrik Östergren from Tempel came up with the idea for this campaign and we all had a lot of fun creating these images. The final 12 ads were published in motor magazines throughout the year.
