BBH has officially announced the opening of an office in Stockholm, furthering the agency’s ambition to become the number one agency partner for the mobile age. The new agency was born out of the acquisition of highly acclaimed Swedish mobile agency Monterosa. The launch of BBH Stockholm leverages BBH’s creative and strategic firepower with Monterosa’s technical and design capabilities to make world class digital products both for the agency and in partnership with clients. BBH Stockholm is made up of world class developers and mobile specialists and the agency already has a wide range of clients from market leaders such as Adidas, Volvo, Travelex and Ikano through to emerging start-ups.
BBH Stockholm is an agency that aims to help clients design strategic and creative solutions, and identify new and different value driving solutions to their brand and business opportunities. The shop boasts staff skilled in UX, design and code with unbeaten expertise in the mobile arena. And posit themselves as an agile, flexible, trailblazing agency that enjoys taking on challenges at the speed of opportunity. The agency has already built over 60 mobile-optimised websites and 150 apps for iOS and Android. Their passion and their expertise is in mobile, which is arguably one of the fasting moving corners of the advertising industry.
Neil Munn, Global Chief Executive Officer at BBH, said: “We are delighted and proud to be bringing Monterosa under the BBH black sheep banner. Our own focus on creativity and quality means that we do not do this lightly. BBH Stockholm will bring an exciting new dimension and energy to our offer.”
Andreas Bjork, CEO of BBH Stockholm said: “We are problem solvers. We want to unsuck what sucks in the relationship between brands and the consumer. In this mobile age, we are well placed to do this and now with the BBH network at our disposal, we think we can achieve our ambition of being the number 1 agency partner for digital business”
Pelle Sjoenell, Worldwide Chief Creative Officer said: "I've been dreaming of this. BBH, the brand and agency I grew up admiring, is coming to Stockholm. For us as a global brand, to add the absolute spearhead of technology and Swedish tech talent to the rest of the BBH family and its clients, is amazing. But to also help bring the strategic and creative muscle from the BBH world to Sweden is equally exciting. It all just makes me proud in so many ways."
Carl Norberg, Founder of Monterosa, now BBH Stockholm, said: “Sir John Hegarty and Sir Nigel Bogle putting their names above the door of the agency I started six years ago is the ultimate confirmation that we are on the right track. Its an honour to play in the BBH shirt and take my word for it, we will not play defence.”
