Advertising, no thanks? Brand items - yes please! How do we reach out, despite widespread advertising fatigue? Today we live in an information society, where people spend an increasing amount of time on managing information. Information and messages to take in, sort out, absorb and process – and ideally act out of. The amount of information inundating us on a daily basis is constantly increasing at the same time as the channels grow in numbers. Living and working in an urban...

With a heart connecting to the brand logo and the message "Baking with love", Pågen's "buy-and-get" summer campaign is one of several examples of when the choice of brand item was crucial. A seemingly simple utility product to push in-store-sales lead to 135,000 sold loafs of bread, strong response, and attention. The product? A custom designed toaster in stainless...

At the same time as the digital world entails vast opportunities for marketing, we are aware of the fact that the more senses are being activated, the greater chance you have to actually reach out. The opportunity to touch or maybe smell, see, and hear a product for yourself, offers an unrivaled and lasting impression. A physical product is a powerful channel for marketing...
