SAS ”Point & Fly”

– The Ipad ad that shows you the way to SAS' huge amount of destinations


 

Brief Scandinavian Airlines is the airline with the most destinations in Sweden. How can we show this in an Ipad ad?


Solution The ad uses the built in GPS to select your nearest departure airport, while the compass finds your destination. Then all you have to do is book the flight, straight in the ad.
 
This is ad is not an app, it’s an HTML full-page ad made for the Bonner Mag+ tablet magazine platform. And the ad was featured in Sweden’s biggest interior magazine – Sköna Hem.

KOMM ”Advertising RE-judged”

– The World's Best Competition for Swedish Advertising


 

Brief The last couple of years entries for Swedish advertising award Guldägget have decreased in favour for international shows. So the Swedish association of communication asked us to come up with a solution to the problem for this year’s awards.


Solution Is good advertising good everywhere?
In order to get Swedish advertising agencies to send in more entries to Guldägget advertising awards, we need to prove that a Swedish jury understands Swedish work like no one else. To do that we asked three international juries from Asia, Ghana and Latvia to re-judge last year’s (2010) winners.

 

RESULTS In total the film had over 1200 views (there are only 275 agencies in Sweden), the decrease in entries turned into a 9% increase and the trade press loved it. As did the industrie’s many bloggers and tweeters.

Chalmers Universty of Technology ”(Probably) The world's smallest catalogue”

– design project for Chalmers University

Chalmers coverThe cover reads: "Chalmers Catalogue 2012, scale 1773:1". The chip to the left is the actual cover (0,1 mm thick). Click to enlarge.

 

 

Brief Chalmers is one of the leading universities of technology in Scandinavia. They wanted us to come up with an idea for the cover of this year's program catalogue.


Solution To prove that Chalmers gives you all the tools you need to create innovative solutions – no matter if it's about a bridge, a radio transmitter or a cover of a catalogue – we decided to actually do something instead of just claim something. This resulted in (probably) the world's smallest catalogue – created using nano technique at the MC2 labs.

SAS ”Daycare dad”

– new strategy and TVC concept for Scandinavian Airlines

The original.

 

The spoof. Made by one of Scandinavia's biggest talk shows, featuring Swedens most infamous federal prison.

 

Background Scandinavian Airlines is the major airline for commuters in Scandinavia.

 

Brief Scandinavian Airlines wanted to create a new position for their brand in Sweden.


Solution Lack of time is something that all people seem to share. Fortunately, Scandinavian Airlines has the position as Europe's most punctual airline. This, together with the most frequent timetable and most time saving services on the market, makes it possible to save a lot of time in comparison with other carriers. Time that you can spend on much more important things than work…

SAS ”Globe of Fortune”

– would you go anywhere with anyone if you could go there for free?

 

 

 

Background This is Scandinavian Airlines first social media campaign. It's also my first campaign at Crispin Porter + Bogusky.

 

Brief Scandinavian Airlines wanted us to create a competition as a part of their big autumn sale.


Solution Scandinavians are not known to be all that spontaneous. But hopefully that’ll change with the SAS Globe of Fortune. At sasglobeoffortune.com you connect with Facebook and spin away to get you randomly selected SAS destination and your randomly selected travel partner. You get 10 spins in total, and if you are spontaneous enough – you can win the trip that destiny has picked for you. The neat thing is – you obviously get as many new chances to win a trip as you’ve got Facebook-friends. In other words: Sharing is good.

BBC ”Tag Player”

– widget for www.bbc.co.uk

 

Background The BBC is the largest public service broadcasting corporation in the world. Its mission is to enrich people’s lives with programmes that inform, educate and entertain.

 

Brief The BBC wants to attract a younger audience, age 15-25, with a new concept for their on demand services.

 

Solution Today’s young generation wants things to happen all the time. We found out that many perform multiple tasks simultaneously with their computers while watching TV. Therefore we created the BBC tag player which lets the viewers interact with BBC’s rich content in a totally new way. Viewers can now tag things that interests them, tell others about it, and even find out what role a particular actor had in e.g. Love Actually.

the project In my spare time, I love playing baseball. I'm also member of the board of the local baseball club Hajarna (Sharks). I see it as my call to support and spread the sport in Sweden.

 

I've redsigned and shaped the brand with "new" roots coming from North America, rather than Gothenburg. Details like the playful merge of the MLB logo with the Gothenburg coat of arms, adds a little twist for the keen baseball fan.

 

Stay tuned for next year's opening day, were we will roll out a new strategy to double the number of spectators.

Summary


 

Born on a farm in the southern Swedish countryside, Dennis moved to Stockholm to attend to the Forsbergs School of Graphic Design at the age of 22. After a placement at Lowe Brindfors, he started his career at the integrated advertising agency Futurniture in Stockholm. Working for well known clients such as IKEA, Sida and Exportradet, he got his first crucial experience of the industry.

 

Circumstances then took him to Hyper Island, where he joined the Interactive Art Director program in 2008. There he met with former Wieden + Kennedy London’s Interactive Creative Director David Lee. Lee soon persuaded Dennis to come to London for his placement. After accepting the offer, Dennis got the chance to work on some pitches – winning Fair Trade – before CP+B offered him a job as art director for Scandinavian Airlines.


During his yet short career, Dennis has received awards from D&AD, One Show, Clio, Eurobest, New York Festivals, Epica, Guldägget, Bonnier Nya Uppslag, 100-wattaren, Art Directors Club of New York, Creativity Awards and CAAOS.

Dennis' work has been published in Creativity, Resume, Dagens Media, Cap&Design, Revolution Magazine and Creative Review.

 

He has also held lectures on his work at Reklamdagen (Advertising day) in Malmö and been a member of the jury of Resumé magazine's best print of the month and best web of the month.
