Brigad
Location: Stockholm
Creative and Founder
I founded Brigad AB in 2013. Brigad is a production and an advertising agency working with large & small companies and advertising agencies. Since I have several years of experience with different Inhouse agencies, both in Sweden and abroad – I found out I’ve become quite an expert in that area and how companies work with advertising from the inside out. Now I do everything from creative ideas, concepts, art direction, graphic design, illustrations, final art and some copy to project and production management. That’s the core idea of the business – it keeps the production line short of time consuming meetings with fast and accurate results.

The Brown Theory
Location: n/a
Creative
The Brown Theory – Because we don’t want everything, every city and everybody to look and act the same.
Next time you’re eating in a restaurant, just take a minute to think about what would happen if you were to blend all the drinks and food in the room in one big bowl.
Now imagine painting on canvas: if you were to mix all the colors on the palette, you would get the same result: a nasty barf-a-like brown color. According to the experts, white light contains all the colors. But in reality, if you were to mix all the colors together, you would not be left with innocent white. Instead, you would be left with something distinctly brown in color.
The Brown Theory encourage difference. Promote companies and people who walk their own way, the ones who break patterns and the ones who have the guts to go against the grain.
