Ola Cronholm is joining Sandberg Trygg. With almost 22 years of communications experience, Ola has worked at the highly respected Berghs School of Communication as well as rich assortment of advertising agencies including Hall&Cederquist, PublicisWelinder, MediaEdge/CIA plus his own agency The Republik.

During the last 15 years he has mainly focused on brand and strategic communications with clients such as Gevalia, Marabou, Taxi Stockholm, Ericsson, ABB, Telia and Aga Lindhe.

“My best advice is; keep it simple,” says Ola. “Our job is about describing, clarifying and simplifying what are often complicated solutions, so that people are able to make an informed judgement. We show clients how situations can be influenced and changed through the power of a brand and communication.”

Don’t be surprised if you can’t get hold of Ola on Monday nights or see him wandering through town with a couple of guitars on his back. When not working at the agency Ola plays in a band. The rehearsal room is generally the only place where his philosophy ‘less is more’ doesn’t apply.

We welcome Ola to the Sandberg Trygg team.

In a previous life, Daniel Bergius was a chef. That was before he studied at Chalmers, developed a taste for web development, got a vocational degree in animation and digital production … and then, via The Farm, came to us at Sandberg Trygg.

Today Daniel lives in Trollhättan. He enjoys golf, snowboarding, working on the house – and, much to the delight of his family, gourmet cooking. The high point of the week is watching a horror movie, with blood-curdling screams emanating from from his carefully selected Bowers & Wilkins speakers.

Chris Cornwall has joined the Gothenburg office as our new English-language copywriter.

With over 12 years experience in sales, marketing and PR, Chris has a passion for straightforward and engaging communication.

Armed with a BA in Marketing from Edinburgh Napier University, Chris has worked at Renault, Proludic, Transas Marine International and, more recently, in the Brand & Marketing department at Saab Automobile.

Chris completed the copywriting course at Berghs School of Communication in 2008 and encapsulates a modern breed of copywriters who not only understand the power of the written word, but how that fits into the broader marketing landscape.

In his free time, Chris can be found at home with his wife and two young sons. He loves design, music and regularly sings in a band.

We are delighted that Anna-Lisa Gustavii has joined the agency as a project executive. She started her career as a producer for commercials in Amsterdam and has worked for Czar and CCCP (now Comrad) production agencies and KesselsKramer advertising agency. Many commercials are produced in Amsterdam and production can be a huge job sometimes including hundreds of extras and actors from all around the world. Demands are enormous on production agencies.

After ten years in Amsterdam, Anna-Lisa decided to come back to Sweden. It was 2005, and Anna-Lisa started as a freelance producer for commercials, music videos and short films. After a while she was offered employment as a a producer at Bobby Works. And now two years later, she has taken the next step and come over to Sandberg Trygg as a project executive.

Good news for the agency. Partly because we need to grow to meet the increasing demand for our services from both existing and new clients and partly because more and more clients are looking for competence in films. International experience and the ability to be the spider in the web are also highly desirable.

Married with two children, Anna-Lisa enjoys travelling, films and reading in her free time.

Print used to be huge in the ad business. But then came the digital revolution. Today the majority of jobs that we do are either digital or films, often both. That’s one reason why we are looking for you. We want to strengthen our skills in digital and film production.

The other reason is that we have loads to do. To say the least. Sandberg Trygg is a full-blooded business-to-business agency and more and more Marcom buyers are seeing the benefits of our specialisation. But even if our client range is narrow, our spectrum of delivery is wide. We are with our clients all the way – from communication that motivates internal resources and builds brands to communication that generates more and better sales. An exciting job for anybody interested in production management.

Are you the one we’re looking for? Here’s our wish list:

• You have experience of leading digital production
• You handle print production too when needed
• You are used to planning, budgeting and following up projects
• You enjoy personal contact with clients and project teams
• You want to be onsite for photo shoots and film sessions
• You have an established contact network with suppliers
• You are proficient in Swedish and English (spoken and written)
• You thrive on stress and see problems as challenges
• You are happy, even-tempered and team-oriented
• You have references that say you are a driving force

Sound familiar? If so, send your application to no later than the 18th of October 2010. Write a few lines about yourself (in Swedish or English) and include your CV. If you have any questions about the position, please don’t call, drop us a line.

The job is located at the Gothenburg office.
