Wow, it’s orange here. The carpet is orange, the walls are orange, the light in the elevator turns orange when hitting the agency floor, so we felt that we had to match this blog with the orange interior as well. Even Pål, who just passed us while writing this, was wearing an orange sweater.
What we’re talking about is the Swedish ad agency Forsman & Bodenfors (www.fb.se), where we started as a junior creative team two weeks ago. Before that we just graduated from Miami Ad School (www.miamiadschool.com) and their European campus in Hamburg, Germany. But it’s been quite a long road between leaving Hamburg for our final year interning in agencies and starting here.
After 6 months interning in London and New York vs Amsterdam and Melbourne, we finally met up in Stockholm to start building a portfolio together. So we did, and even finished it in Amsterdam during our last Quarter term of Miami Ad School. If you happen to be curious, you can find our work here (http://twodudesonsale.tumblr.com)
So how did we end up here, in Sweden’s second city? A French guy from Lyon and a Gothenburg native who promised himself he had left the town for good. Well, the reason is called Forsman & Bodenfors. An insanely talented agency with about 90 people in Gothenburg and 40 in Stockholm. On the client list you find IKEA, Volvo, Arla and Tele2 among others. If you haven’t already, check out the agency website and the showreel.
Starting today, this is what we could call a documentation of the Mad Men of the North. And by the way, we’re Henrik and Thibault. Welcome!
