New York New York
I am very happy, honoured and excited to say that I will be interning as a producer at Your Majesty in New York in November.
It feels great and I really look forward to this wonderful journey I'm about to start.
Your Majesty is a creative agency driven and founded by a former Hyper Island student, Jens Karlsson. I am very happy to have been given this chance and I will most definetly give and contribute with everything I have and hope that they will be pleased with what I can bring to the round table.
From November on, I will become a knight.

Back in Karlskrona!
Three days ago I came back to Karlskrona and to the home of Hyper Island!
It feels wonderful being back here and I'm really looking forward to meeting all the new students and get our last three months at the school going!
This year is the first year that "senior" Hyper Island students will be attending the school at the same time as the "freshmen" begin. I'm very excited and think that It will be great for everyone!
Yay for school. I know its dorky, but seriously. You should try this, it's awesome.

My Collection from Hyper so far
I usually post about print/outdoor/ambient or digital campaigns that I'm impressed or intrigued by, but now I thought I'd post what I have accomplished doing during my first year at Hyper Island.
Here is a collection of my favorite stuff in chronological order with the most recent work at the top.
TIP - The Industry Project
Project Time: 6 Weeks
My Role: CEO
Clients: IKEA, Unga Klara, Akka Box
The TIP is the final module of the Digital Media program before diving into the Final Project and the internship. The class is basically divided into groups of 12 and the main task is to start up and run an agency. Even though everything is fairly fake, it gives you so many insights about how it would be to run an agency, to write budgets, to count working hours and to write proposals etc.
I was the CEO of the agency and learned a lot about setting up a full on structure and workflow for the agency. I also learned a whole lot about being a overview and supervisor of three separate working groups as well as the entire agency as a whole. I was responsible for setting a good atmosphere, making sure we worked according to our values and to do quality assurance on everything we did.
48 hour Zlatan Pitch
Task: Create a brand and marketing strategy for famous football player Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Project Time: 48 Hours
My Role: Creative team together with Ola Syse, classmate and designer.
Challenge: To deliver in short amount of time!
This side project was given to us during the The Industry Project as a chance of winning money to your agency. It was intense but lots of fun. We didn't work to structured, but surprisingly this worked very well for both of us. We worked simultaneously with different tasks and came up with improvements along the way. We both set the concept together and I was then mainly responsible for the pitch and Ola for the design and mock ups.
Website + Hosting of a football management game which is connected to Facebook
Mobile App - What would Zlatan do? A generator with different fun things Zlatan would do
Hair products aimed towards the younger segment of the target group
The XV - Our Marketing
The task: To market and promote the class and the individuals of the class
Project Time: 3 Months
My Role: Senior Project Manager
Challenge: How to get 36 very stubborn people work in synergy
The XV Projects is one of the biggest projects I've been involved in and it gave me a whole lot of experience and learnings.
Me and two other Senior Project Managers from the class were responsible for the entire structure and work process and spent around 4 weeks planning schedules, timelines, swots, workflows and deadlines. We also facilitated the Idea Development process and motivational sessions and process follow ups.
The Result? Visit our fantastic website: www.whatisxv.com
The Triforce Installation
The task: Create an interactive, fun and technical device/installation for a future exhibition
Project Time: 5 Weeks
Material: 1 Wii Remote + 500 SEK
My Role: Project Manager - Triforce Group & Stockholm EAT Exhibition
As a group we were faced with so many challenges in this project because none of us had any type of experience in technology or exhibitions. All we knew was that we had an idea, and we wanted to do anything to make that idea become reality.
We researched, we called people, we looked for sponsors, we tried and failed and tried again. However, we finally pulled it off and we created one of the winning installations at the exhibition and won the price of going to London and exhibit at W+K.
The Result: The Triforce - an audiovisual experience installation that creates ambient music and visuals with the help of a Light Glove.
For more information about the installation, please drop me a comment and I'll get back to you!
The City Simulator
Client: The Municipality of Karlskrona
Brief: Attract new inhabitants to move to Karlskrona
Project Time: 4 Weeks
My Role: Concept & Copy
This was our first real brief! We were all very excited and worked late nights to finish this project. We created an idea for a City Simulator tool that would help new inhabitants to get their own personalized Karlskrona by answering a few questions and downloading the City Customization app.

Gestos Wine!!
The Help Us Grow Campaign that our class started a couple of months ago got a company here in Sweden called Arvid Nordquist inspired somehow because they returned the favor by giving us a challenge.
The challenge was to, in 23 days, create 30 sec Advertising spot for the web, a Banner, a Microsite and a Video Blogg, for an Argentinian wine named Gestos. The winning contribution would win 50 000 SWE Kronor.
Our class got into 4 different teams and worked on this wine project on the side from our ordinary school work and yesterday we were told that they had announced a winner. MY TEAM!
Im so very proud of what we made in such a short time and Im very happy we won so that our class can go to Amsterdam for our release party!
Unfortunately the site is all in Swedish and so are the commercials. But check it out if you're interested!
Press release (Also in Swedish. Simple translation: They think our class is sick and that we blew their minds with our proffesionality)

Secret
Tomorrow I'm going to have a very important and exciting photo shoot session. Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it yet. You will all get to see the pics when it's time.
Meanwhile I thought I'd post some of the pictures from the photo shoot I had with my very talented classmate Tobias Bergström.
I'm probably going to use one of the pictures he took to redo my banner on here.
(The photos are Tobias Bergströms's and cannot be used without permission)

Anyone Seen It?
I haven't written anything here in a week. It's really been bugging me that I haven't because I like keeping you guys updated on everything, but something happened to me last week that is unexplainable. Maybe what has happened to me could be explained as an alien abduction or maybe it's just a regular Hyper Island student journey. Either way. It really truly sucks.
I don't really know how to explain it. But it is like someone took out all the colors from the view I love to sit and watch. It's like watching a great movie, and in the end, not understanding anything. And there is no one that can explain it to you. It's like walking the path that you've been walking on your entire life, and all of a sudden stepping out of it.
To not sound too much like Alanis Morisette Im just gonna stop with the metaphors.
The thing is, ever since I saw that movie (can't remember the name of it) with Jennifer Anniston my first year in High school, I have known that my future is in Advertising. I couldn't explain it, I just knew I wanted to do it. Everything I've done since that movie, has been trying to get closer to my goal, but all of a sudden, last week it ended. That strive is gone. Where did it go? Does anyone know? Im not even sure I want to be in the Advertising field, or do I? I don't know what role I should train myself for?
My Mojo is gone. It's really terrible.
It effects everything.
Please. If you find my mojo, or someone elses. Would you please give it to me?
I'm in desperate need of one.
