			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Sometime last year I was approached by Vasakronan, Swedens largest property brand with a property portfolio valued at SEK 80.3 billion. Being a market leader the felt their digital presence had to reflect that position. Their question: What do we do? As always I teamed up with <a title="Caroline Karlström" href="http://www.ckarlstrom.com/about/" target="_blank">Caroline Karlström</a> and accepted the challenge to answer that question. In this project I took on the role as both head of strategy and concept as well as actually delivering the top level designs of the new Vasakronan that Britny later implemented and refined.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5613" title="macbook-vasakronan" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/macbook-vasakronan.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="270" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>This is what we did. Parts of the new Vasakronan digital brand presence</em></span></p>
<h3>The new Vasakronan.se runs WordPress!</h3>
<p>Me and Caroline started the project with an analysis phase and analysed their existing presence, the traffic to their site, the content, the design and the site structure. We interviewed representatives from Vasakronan as well as their clients and potential prospects. We also performed an extensive technical analysis <span id="more-5609"></span>of their technical platform. Their brand presence online was running on <a title="Episerver" href="http://www.episerver.com/" target="_blank">Episerver</a>, one of Swedens most common content management platforms and the front end was about three years old. It was classical site with tons of sections and also some flash content.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5616" title="vasakronan-before" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vasakronan-before.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="341" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>The old Vasakronan.se site.</em></span></p>
<p>On top of that the site was connected to their back end, partly built on <a title="Sharepoint" href="http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/en-us/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Sharepoint</a>. Already from start I felt that there was no need for this complex set up. If you also include the fact that Vasakronan intended to lead &#8211; not follow, then I also thought we needed to look at modern platforms such as WordPress.</p>
<p>Once we&#8217;ve passed the analysis phase, it was clear that there really was no need to run Vasakronan off Episerver. Instead we decided to give <a title="Wordpress" href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> a try. WordPress would, beside the fact that the platform is free, give Vasakronan the ability to adapt to the world outside, fast! WordPress has got some 20000 developers devoted to making sure the platform is up to date. Future branding is all about making sure you stay on top technology instead of being dictated by technology due to the fact that you&#8217;re stuck in a slow developed platform. Vasakronans ambition moving forward is also to be a part of that community, meaning develop new plugins and functionalities that other brands can make good use of.</p>
<h3>A new brand plattform needed to be digitalized.</h3>
<p>Part from the fact that Vasakronan&#8217;s digital presence was a couple of years old another important fact was also that they we&#8217;re redesigning their brand language. Not their logo &#8211; but their tone of voice, their graphical expressions, colors and how they worked with images. This was a challenge.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5649" title="vasakronan-graphical-concept" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vasakronan-graphical-concept.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="694" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Parts of the Vasakronan brand manual that we had to digitalize.</em></span></p>
<p>Their new brand language was classical yet bold, however it was clearly developed to be used offline. I&#8217;m personally a big fan of simplicity and there was something in that brand presentation we were handed that struck a chord inside me.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5642" title="vasakronan-firstpage_480" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vasakronan-firstpage_480.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="1302" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>The <a title="Vasakronan" href="http://vasakronan.se/" target="_blank">new Vasakronan.se</a> &#8211; on brand!</em></span></p>
<p>The challenge to bring this stuff online was something that made me smile. After some tweaking back and fourth I felt that I had nailed the graphical concept quite well. It was fresh, clean, usable and on brand.</p>
<h3>Great content and simplicity is the new black.</h3>
<p>Until now Vasakronan had been working quite a lot with SEM activities. However, their SEO presence was nothing to brag about. In order for this to change I developed a concept that was based on how blogs work. Basically, the content bloggers pushed ends up further down the site structure as more content is being pushed.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5651" title="vasakronan-inspiration-start" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vasakronan-inspiration-start1.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="650" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>An example of how content from the first page is being pushed down in other sections</em></span></p>
<p>Considering the website analytic part of the project pointed in the direction few, if any visitors, were interesting surfing the Vasakronan website, instead people landed on one page, clicked one or two pages to get what they were there for and then left, I felt we needed to simplify everything &#8211; the site structure, the navigation, the amount of pages and way you search for new properties and of course also the design.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5648" title="vasakronan-vara-kund" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vasakronan-vara-kund.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="776" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Simplicity was something we kept on striving for all through the project</em></span></p>
<p>Yet we also needed people to actually find Vasakronan. There&#8217;s of course tons of traffic ending up on Vasakronan via typed url&#8217;s or a search for Vasakronan. But there&#8217;s also a huge potential in attracting people through generic search. In order to establish a broader and better presence on Google we decided to make better use of Vasakronan&#8217;s customer magasine &#8216;En bättre värd&#8217; (A better host).</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5627" title="arena-drommar-vasakronan" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arena-drommar-vasakronan.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="1063" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Making sure content is spread over multiple platforms to do good for the brand.</em></span></p>
<p>On the old site this magazine was published once a month as a PDF. Fine, the PDF attracts Google spiders too &#8211; but the content is not very readable online. This magazine was packed with quality content that will do a great job when the spiders comes crawling. Said and done. We established a section called Inspiration &amp; lägen (Inspiration and locations) where the magazine is now portioned in smaller bits over time &#8211; just like a blogger would publish it.</p>
<h3>iPhone and iPads. What should you do?</h3>
<p>If you ask around I think most agencies out there will tell you that you must have a site for mobiles and one for iPads and other tables. I beg to differ. My point of view is that the visitors you have will visit your brand from different devices but that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re interested in learning new ways to navigate depending on which device they use today.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5622" title="a-mobile-vasakronan" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a-mobile-vasakronan1.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="340" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>People should not have to learn new navigations from one device to another.</em></span></p>
<p>This is why I, when I started to design the site, aimed to create a design that would work on your desktop computer, your laptop, iPad and ultimately the smartphone of your choice. Of course it&#8217;s important to make sure you&#8217;ve thought about mobile sites and apps too. I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s ever a need for a specific app or mobile interface to browse the generic content on Vasakronan.se if it&#8217;s built and designed right.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5629" title="ipad-app-vasakronan" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ipad-app-vasakronan.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="258" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Trying out how content could be swiped in potential future apps.</em></span></p>
<p>However I definitely think there&#8217;s a need for apps that gives landlords, tennants and other target groups the ultimate way to access information and nurture their relation with vasakronan. For these needs we of course designed extra proof of concepts to make sure we didn&#8217;t launch anything that could not be developed further.</p>
<h3>Now it&#8217;s time to put the concept into action &#8211; we need more pro&#8217;s!</h3>
<p>Brands like Vasakronan hire me to make change happen. My assignment usually includes a strategy phase, a concept phase and a visualisation phase. With a set of different tools such as strategic and technical analysis, problem definition, conceptual and creative develoment and prototyping I help brands, in this case Vasakronan, to establish a communication platform. It&#8217;s extremely important to deliver the conceptual and creative concepts without having to think about your own organisation &#8211; this is why I do not recommend having an agency that delivers both the concept and the implementation &#8211; it usually ends up being something that agency makes money off suggestion.</p>
<p>In this case me and Caroline together with different freelancers delivered a concept that focused on creating the best possible solution online for Vasakronan &#8211; now it was time to find the best fitted consultant that could take our concept and implement it. In order to find that consultant we, together with Vasakronan, selected five agencies. After having heard the agencies present themselves we also asked them to present how they were to implement the concept we had delivered for Vasakronan. <a title="Britny" href="http://britny.se/" target="_blank">Britny, Swedish kick ass web agency</a> that I&#8217;d been working with before, delivered a fantastic presentation. It was clear that both their creative department and technical department understood why we&#8217;d chosen the solutions we had and how we intended them to be implemented.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5647" title="vasakronan-search" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vasakronan-search.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="461" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>The listing of properties &#8211; the concept brought all the way by Britny</em></span></p>
<p>Said and done &#8211; Britny and Vasakronan came to an agreement and they started working on the implementation of our project. From our side Caroline left the project and I stayed on board to secure that the concept we&#8217;d delivered would be treated right. It was also important to make sure the kept to our technical strategy when using WordPress as the content management system. We&#8217;d built in tons of strategical and graphical executions that only made sense if you&#8217;d built them into WordPress the right way. The team at Britny did a fantastic job when taking our concept further. They treated it with great care. I especially found it rewarding that their lead designer, Daniel Stridsberg and head of tech Fillip Wastman, embraced the design platform I had initiated and nurtured it well. Except for Daniel and Fillip the team consisted of Iyob Mesfin, Jonas Rogert and Jonas Eriksson all equally important.</p>
<h3>The result?</h3>
<p>Vasakronan has managed to revamp their online presence in a magnificant way. The new site is easier to use, we&#8217;ve taken away all second level menues we&#8217;ve could, the design is on brand and may I say so &#8211; ground braking in terms of sitting on top of a content management system, it&#8217;s like nothing else and differentiates Vasakronan from their competition and it works like a charm on any platform. Knowing what they&#8217;re up to behind the scenes I&#8217;m proud to say this is one of the projects I&#8217;m most pleased with during 2011! But then again &#8211; that&#8217;s what I think <img src='http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Thank you <a title="Britny" href="http://britny.se/" target="_blank">Britny</a> for sticking to our guns. Thank you <a title="Vasakronan" href="http://vasakronan.se/" target="_blank">Vasakronan</a> for daring to be different!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rock on!</strong></p>

<p>This sweet little flick is the latest short film (I see it more as a short film than a TVC) in a series of three (<a title="Marginalen TVC 1" href="http://youtu.be/FnTBBj-JnZc" target="_blank">1</a> &amp; <a title="Marginalen TVC 2" href="http://youtu.be/0VmjNjgWXY4" target="_blank">2</a>) created by me for Marginalen Bank, the brand <a title="Marginalen Bank Branding" href="http://www.ronnestam.com/case-the-story-of-how-swedens-newest-bank-marginalen-bank-was-created-implemented-and-launched/">I took part in developing and launching</a> last fall. This time I&#8217;ve written and Art Directed it. As usual I&#8217;ve partnered with <a title="Caroline Karlström" href="http://www.ckarlstrom.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Karlström</a> to make sure the project was delivered on time and quality. This time we contracted Mr <a title="Potemkin" href="http://potemkin.se/" target="_blank">Potemkin</a>, aka Magnus Östergren to make sure the dream came alive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="drop_cap">I</span> was born into this world as free as any child. No religion, no political point of views, no ideas about what was right or wrong. Nothing. Just free. And I screamed!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5385" title="ronnestam-young-kid" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/ronnestam-young-kid.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="335" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Me &#8211; around two years old walking our dog named Gorko.</em></span></p>
<p>Then, just as you, I was brought home, fed, raised and I started to grow. Depending on where in the world we live, who bring us up and what happens around us we’re shaped. We&#8217;re shaped not into what we want but into <span id="more-5381"></span>a mix of what our parents, friends and the society wants.</p>
<p>Since then I’ve been trying to break free. Not from it all. There are tons of things I never want to be free off, but also tons of things I’d like to leave behind.</p>
<p>The most interesting journey lays ahead of me. It is covered in darkness. You and I call it the future. The future, that&#8217;s what I want to shape all by myself. I want it to be built on my beliefs, my ideas and my thoughts. I want to succeed. I&#8217;m willing to fail. But I’m not willing to let you shape it for me. In fact I’m prepared to fight the rest of my life to stay free and true to my own beliefs. This is what drives me. The continious strive for freedom. Not money. Not status. Pure freedom.</p>
<p>Some people say I don’t listen, but I do! I’ll listen to what you have to say but I’ll decide for myself. That freedom &#8211; I’ll fight for it the rest of my life.</p>
<p>Maybe Robyn says it best: “Don’t fucking tell me what to do!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="drop_cap">I</span> am at Bromma airport in Sweden on my way to speak in Gothenburg tomorrow. As I&#8217;m sitting in the lounge surfing the web I suddenly found myself reading the copy of what in my opinion is one of the most inspiring texts in the world. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_Different" target="_blank">think different campaign</a> by Apple in 1997.</p>
<p>To some people it&#8217;s an ad. To me &#8211; it&#8217;s the stuff changes are made of.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5259" title="apple-think-different" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/apple-think-different.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="303" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to the crazy ones.</p>
<p>The misfits.<br />
The rebels.<br />
The troublemakers.<br />
The round pegs in the square holes.</p>
<p>The ones who see things differently.<br />
They&#8217;re not fond of rules.<br />
And they have no respect for the status quo.</p>
<p>You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,<br />
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.<br />
About the only thing you can&#8217;t do is ignore them.<br />
Because they change things.</p>
<p>They invent.    They imagine.    They heal.<br />
They explore.    They create.    They inspire.<br />
They push the human race forward.</p>
<p>Maybe they have to be crazy.</p>
<p>How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?<br />
Or sit in silence and hear a song that&#8217;s never been written?<br />
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?</p>
<p>We make tools for these kinds of people.</p>
<p>While some see them as the crazy ones,<br />
we see genius.</p>
<p>Because the people who are crazy enough to think<br />
they can change the world, are the ones who do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you have people smiling after they&#8217;ve interacted with your brand I&#8217;d say half of the game is won. Just seconds ago I browsed through Visualjournalism where I read a <a href="http://visualjournalism.com/baidu-beats-google-when-it-comes-to-mapping/2010/11/23/" target="_blank">post</a> about Googles Chinese competitor Baidu and their newly launched equivalence to Google Map. Baidu has launched a SimCity styled map engine.</p>
<p>It made my day. I hope it makes yours! Head over <a href="http://map.baidu.com/?newmap=1&amp;l=17&amp;tn=B_DIMENSIONAL_MAP&amp;c=1061809,8944396&amp;cc=sh&amp;s=s%26wd%3D%E4%BA%BA%E6%B0%91%E5%B9%BF%E5%9C%BA%26c%3D289%26src%3D0%26wd2%3D%26sug%3D0%26l%3D20&amp;sc=1" target="_blank">to Baidu and play</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="drop_cap">Y</span>esterday I wrote a <a href="http://www.ronnestam.com/dear-saab-your-site-sucks/" target="_blank">blog post about SAAB</a>. It obviously created some sort of attention since I almost had a new unique visitor record. Among the commenters were official SAAB representatives, positive even though I had quite a strong tone in my post. Another commenter, a bit surprising, was David Holecek, Interactive Marketing Manager at <a href="http://www.volvocars.com/se/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Volvo Cars</a>. In his comment he wrote &#8211; <em>&#8220;Sticking my neck out a bit, it would be interesting if you would do a similar exercise on our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://volvocars.com/">volvocars.com</a> site (or rather <a rel="nofollow" href="http://volvocars.se/">volvocars.se</a>, as we do not have all the shopping tools on our international site). We may be asking for a potentially harsh treatment <img src='http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> , but feedback is always important.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I was planning to do a video on the Volvo site as well, but due to kids at home I&#8217;ve not gotten the possibility to record something yet. It&#8217;s just to noisy! But, David, I decided to give you some feedback anyway.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5080" title="volvo-xc60-site" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/volvo-xc60-site.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="337" /></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">I only walked through the <a href="http://www.volvocars.com/se/all-cars/volvo-xc60/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">XC60</a> part of the site since I&#8217;m more or less looking at buying exactly that kind of car right now. (Probably the new <a href="http://www.bmw.se/se/sv/newvehicles/x/x3/2010/showroom/index.html" target="_blank">BWM X3</a>, but I do like the XC60)</span></em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s sort of two-faced but here we go.</p>
<ol>
<li>You&#8217;ve done your lesson when it comes to usability. Most things<span id="more-5071"></span> work the way they should part from minor things when I&#8217;ve already chosen a car and then have to re-choose it once I wanna testdrive for example. I like that I can have a PDF mailed with my built car.</li>
<li>The &#8216;closed&#8217; interface forces me to navigate to much. Create less pages with more content instead. People don&#8217;t care about scrolling if they&#8217;ve come to the right place. Especially not in iPads and iPhones.</li>
<li>Drop the http://www.volvocars.com/se/all-cars/volvo-xc60/Pages/default.aspx link structure and implement a more SEO friendly structure and taxonomy.</li>
<li>I&#8217;d implement a lot more links between the sections. Such as moving people from the &#8216;What XC60 should I choose&#8217; into the configuration tool for example.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s all built in Flash. That sucks from several <a href="http://www.ronnestam.com/why-are-the-worlds-greatest-brands-stuck-in-old-technology-and-what-should-they-do-about-it/" target="_blank">known reasons</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5092" title="ipad-volvo-car-site" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ipad-volvo-car-site.jpg" alt="Volvo Cars on iPad" width="480" height="371" /></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">How Volvo Cars look on the fastest growing internet platform in the world&#8230;not good.</span></em></p>
<p>And probably lots of more things. But&#8230;time&#8230;kids&#8230;</p>
<h3>What if it looked like Apples website?</h3>
<p>So, how should it look then? That&#8217;s of course a big thing to give feedback on and it would take some time, on the other hand, it&#8217;s sort of interesting to have a look at Apple, then swap all the content for Volvo Car content and see what happen. Hmm, why not try it? Said and done. I sat down for an hour and overlaid Apples <a href="http://www.apple.com/macbookair/" target="_blank">Macbook Air section</a> with XC60 content just to see what would happen. Here&#8217;s the result.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5076" title="volvo-web-vs-apple" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/volvo-web-vs-apple.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="219" /></p>
<h3>XC60 First page in an Apple Costume.</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve more or less just swapped content except for some copy that I quickly wrote to convey the right feeling. Don&#8217;t mind the top nav, it&#8217;s just there to get that Volvo feeling into the site. <a href="http://www.ronnestam.com/filez/content/volvoXC60-firstpage.jpg" target="_blank">Click here</a> to get the full view</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ronnestam.com/filez/content/volvoXC60-firstpage.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-5072" title="volvoXC60-firstpage-480" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/volvoXC60-firstpage-480.jpg" alt="An alternative XC60 Volvo website based on apple" width="480" height="457" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">Note. The design above is only produced for teaching purposes. Not to be used commercially</span></em></p>
<h3>Volvo XC60 &#8211; The Design in an Apple Costume (excuse the mega long image)</h3>
<p>By building the entire design experience, with designer videos, galleries and more, into one single page, you&#8217;ll award the visitor by letting him explore everything about the design without having to open new pages. You&#8217;ll also ensure that every link to the new Volvo XC60 design section delivers the exact same experience. You&#8217;ll have seconds to get people to stay, dont waste them on endles menus. <a href="http://www.ronnestam.com/filez/content/volvoxc60-design.jpg" target="_blank">Click here</a> to get the full view.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ronnestam.com/filez/content/volvoxc60-design.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5074" title="volvoxc60-design-480" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/volvoxc60-design-480.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="2500" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">Note. The design above is only produced for teaching purposes. Not to be used commercially</span></em></p>
<p>So, with that said<em> (or designed&#8230;copied&#8230; in an hour)</em>. I think the Volvo Cars site features some sweet content and nice functionalites, but I&#8217;d repackage them into HTML5 based websites, lesser menu options and a bolder feeling to it. Obviously I&#8217;d spend more time than this to really work out how it should look in the future. Cars are beautiful objects made to be used by people so their sites should be too.</p>
<p>Thanks David for reaching out and I hope I&#8217;ve give you something to think about!</p>

<p>Sometimes tons of things happens at once and suddenly we notice a shape, we call these shapes memories. But most of the time life is made up by small things that never form shapes. The truth however is that these small things is what life is all about. The more of em&#8217; you notice, the more you&#8217;ll notice life. And the more you notice life, the more you&#8217;ll enjoy it!</p>
<p><span class="drop_cap">T</span>his all came to me when I looked at this video below found over at Mario Vellandi&#8217;s <a href="http://www.melodiesinmarketing.com/2010/10/05/words-visual-metaphor-cinematography-color/" target="_blank">Melodies in Marketing</a>, which by the way is a great blog on Ethical communication.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="drop_cap">I</span> love the Internet. When I least expect it someone somewhere has spent the last weeks writing thousands lines of code that turns something we&#8217;ve all seen into something none of us has seen.</p>
<p>Today when I visited <a href="http://joshspear.com/item/17320/" target="_blank">JoshSpear</a> I ran into this open-sourced project called <a href="http://graffitianalysis.com/" target="_blank">Graffiti Analysis</a> by <a href="http://evan-roth.com/">Evan  Roth</a>. This is exactly what I&#8217;m talking about. By tracking graffiti artists when they put their pen to the paper and make their mark Evan and his team can unveil unseen motion involved in the creation of a tag.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="490" height="276" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8072596&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="490" height="276" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8072596&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Suddenly things that seem flat get a whole new meaning. Just like when you get an idea composed out of two old ones. You bring new light to things people thought were explored to the max. People love that shit just like I love this shit!</p>

This has triggered an earthquake of ideas on how to repackaging this old product that haven&#8217;t really seen inside of a designers room the last 50 years (or at least it feels that way).</p>

<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>This is more or less what the industry has offered us the last 50 years</em></span></p>
<p>Sometime last year I noticed that this business is on the move. As I was shopping bulbs it struck me that good shit is happening inside the hardware store on the light bulb shelf. What the light bulb industry is going through is a great inspiration for any business lost in history and it shows that once you get that ball rolling things will happen fast.</p>
<h3>Here are 10 light bulb packaging concepts that leads this industry forward</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="drop_cap">L</span>ast summer I got on a train leaving Stockholm for Gothenburg. Together with freelancing project manager, planner and colleague <a href="http://www.ckarlstrom.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Karlström</a> I had a meeting set up with diving brand <a href="http://www.poseidon.com/" target="_blank">Poseidon</a>. This was the start of a project where I truly had the opportunity to work with all aspects of branding and creative communication.</p>
<p>A dream project.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-3982" title="Ingvar-elfstrom-poseidon-1958" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Ingvar-elfstrom-poseidon-1958.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="607" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Ingvar Elfström, the founder of Poseidon back in 1958. </em></span></p>
<h3>The Background</h3>
<p>Back in 1958 this brand was founded by a young Swedish diver, Ingvar Elfström. Since then the brand has become famous for unique, different and great products. However over the last couple of years they’ve lost speed when it comes to innovation and marketing initiatives.</p>
<p>But then something happened. The company was bought by a small group of investors three years back. Headed by visionaire Kurt Sjöblom they set out on a journey &#8211; to develop the first ever automated rebreather for recreational divers.</p>
<p><span class="drop_cap">T</span>his was why we were there. About a year from launch Kurt and his team felt they needed to do something about the brand. And after a successful meeting that actually started with me diving <span id="more-3980"></span>with this new product we had ourselves a new client. The mission. To re-brand Poseidon and bring their marketing strategies into the 22 century. The full guacamole!</p>
<p><strong>The Problem:</strong><br />
Poseidon has since long been loved by advanced divers. People who know how to dive love Poseidon. As a result of this the brand has slowly been turned into a brand by extreme divers for extreme divers. How copy was written, photos were styled and packaging looked was all steered towards a small part of the diving world that in the long run wouldn’t build a broad user base for Poseidon.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-3985" title="discovery-mkv1-diver-poseidon-military" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/discovery-mkv1-diver-poseidon-military.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="319" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>A typical photo before we started evaluating how Poseidon should be communicated</em></span></p>
<p>As Poseidon now develop new and groundbreaking products  and target the recreational divers, the tourist that may bring his own gear on his vacation but might just as well rent the stuff, a new position is essential.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-4203" title="poseidon-1-website-before-redesign" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/poseidon-1-website-before-redesign.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="436" /></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">The old start page of Poseidon.com before we started the re-branding journey</span><br />
</em></p>
<p>Finally Poseidon is a global brand. With a presence on 28 different markets we also, from a visual and tone of voice point of view had to turn the brand into a global one that not only matched it’s competitors but beat the hell out of them.</p>
<p>So there we were. Now it was time to rebuild this brand.</p>
<h2>The Solution &#8211; What was our mission and what was the result?</h2>
<p>Our task was to create a cross-functional and multi-dimensional definition of the Poseidon brand. Once that was done we set out to design and dramatize a differentiated brand experiences across the entire value chain and customer journey.</p>
<p>My parts in the project included working with the overall strategy together with Caroline and then develop a fully integrated creative direction that I later art directed. Once I had designed most parts of the project we brought in designers <a href="http://se.linkedin.com/in/packalen" target="_blank">Kristian Packalen</a> and <a href="http://www.esa.se/" target="_blank">Esa Tanttu</a> whom I had been working with before to finalize my visions. Early in the process we also brought in copywriter <a href="http://uk.linkedin.com/in/judyolsencopywriter" target="_blank">Judy Olsen</a> to clean parts of my conceptual copy but above all write all the copy for the new Poseidon website.</p>
<p><strong>The re-branding of Poseidon Diving has included:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Create an over all brand strategy that would steer all communication initiatives.</li>
<li>Develop an integrated visual platform for a marketing components</li>
<li>Typography</li>
<li>Point of sale</li>
<li>Packaging concepts</li>
<li>Photography</li>
<li>Website design and strategy</li>
<li>Offline advertising</li>
<li>Online advertising</li>
<li>Search Engine Optimization (SEO)</li>
<li>Event concepts</li>
<li>Copy platform</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="drop_cap">A</span>fter about 6 month of strategy, creative and art direction, design, photography, copy writing, 3D modeling, website design and production we&#8217;re now closer than ever to accomplish our mission -  &#8216;create a cross-functional and multi-dimensional definition of the brand&#8217;. <em>This is parts of the visual result:</em></p>

<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">A selection of the units I&#8217;ve created for Poseidon, The visual system is clearly visible.</span><br />
</em></p>
<h3>The Poseidon Brand Manifesto</h3>
<p>Once we settled on a strategy (not to be communicated here) one of the first thing I did was writing the Poseidon manifesto. When I&#8217;m hired to create a new positioning for a brand I think it&#8217;s essential to put words to my thinking. This way both me and everyone else involved, both on the consulting side as well as the client side, will stand on a common ground. Once this manifesto was approved we brought in copywriter <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/judyolsencopywriter" target="_blank">Judy Olsen</a> to clean it up. This resulted in the following:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-4220" title="poseidon-manifesto" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/poseidon-manifesto.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<h3>The Perfect Photographer For The Poseidon Brand Campaign &#8211; Wayne Levin</h3>
<p>What we needed from day one was something that made people understand Poseidon is a new brand. Traditionally Poseidon has been all about hard core diving. Basically the military look above has been spot on. But now Poseidon is to be positioned towards a broader audience. We needed photography that clearly communicates the Poseidon brand.</p>
<p>We searched all over for something that could differentiate Poseidon from it&#8217;s competitors. Something that inspired people and engaged them emotionally. Something that made people dream about diving. On top of that I also thought it was of great importance to find a photographer who also cared for the ocean and represented sustainability. Basically something that expressed the heart of Poseidon&#8217;s philosophy.</p>
<p>I found <a href="http://www.waynelevinimages.com/" target="_blank">Wayne Levin</a>. Some of you might recognize the black and white style from the <a href="http://www.ronnestam.com/on-my-way-home-from-6-days-on-lanai-hawaii-that-changed-my-life/">photos I took myself</a> last year on Hawaii. Now you understand that those were of course inspired from the master himself. Wayne Levin is interested not only in seascapes and animals, but in the ocean itself: the texture, movement and volume of the water. It is this visceral sense of power– of how it feels to be right there within the vastness of the ocean &#8211; that accords perfectly with Poseidon’s dedication to a pure, unrestricted diving experience.</p>
<p>So far Wayne has shot a limited series of photos for Poseidon. The purpose is to continue the collaboration with Wayne and shoot a series of videos too. Nothing can be more inspiring than to follow Wayne diving with the Poseidon Discovery taking pictures of some of the most inspiring animals on earth.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-4206" title="wayne-levin-dolphins-hawaii" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/wayne-levin-dolphins-hawaii.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="336" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>This photograph was taken at Ho&#8217;okena Beach in South Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. The Spinner Dolphins often come into Ho’okena, and many other Kona Beaches and Bays in order to rest in shallow waters during the day after a night of hunting in the deep waters several miles off the coast. Ho’okena is a beautiful bay with very interesting sand formations caused by the waves and currents in the bay.</em></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-4212" title="wayne-levin-seal-poseidon-hawaii" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/wayne-levin-seal-poseidon-hawaii.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="697" /></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">This photograph was taken off Mahukona in North Kohala on the Island of Hawaii. Wayne scuba dove at this location with a friend, and was very surprised to find this young female Monk Seal. The Hawaiian Monk Seal is extremely endangered so he felt very fortunate to have this encounter. Actually she was anything but shy constantly approaching Wayne very close.</span></em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-4208" title="poseidon-full-spread-ad-dyka" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/poseidon-full-spread-ad-dyka.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="334" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>The photo of the Spinner Dolphins used in a full spread print ad.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4273" title="poseidon-posters-wayne-levin" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/poseidon-posters-wayne-levin.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="672" /></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"> </span> <em><span style="color: #808080;">Creating posters from a photo taken about three miles off the Kohala Coast near the North tip of the Island of Hawaii. The Mellon Head Whales are quite rare to find in Hawaii, and this was Waynes only encounter with them. He was on a boat, looking to photograph Humpback Whales when he spotted what he thought were dolphins near the Humpbacks. When Wayne approached them he realized that these were either Melon Heads or False Killer Whales. There were at least 200 individuals but when he entered the water he could see that the large pod was broken up into groups of about 20 individuals.</span></em></p>
<h3>Turning packaging into something emotionally engaging</h3>
<p>Already from the start my point of view was to develop a visual system that engaged people in every part of the customer journey. The of course included the packaging of the products. As a result of this we planned to use Wayne Levin&#8217;s wonderful photography on the packaging too. Along with the Brand Manifesto and the new product photography we&#8217;ve created a strong link from the advertising, the website, the point of sale material all the way to the actual product that you bring home.</p>
<p>On top of serving as packaging this concept also works as point of sale displays when used empty.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone frame size-full wp-image-4225" title="poseidon-packaging" src="http://www.ronnestam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/poseidon-packaging.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="354" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Wayne Levin&#8217;s photos along with the Poseidon brand manifesto creates a great platform for the packaging too.</em></span></p>
<h3>Making sure the Poseidon brand stays strong in point of sale environments.</h3>
<p>Having worked with advertising for quite many years now my belief is that no matter how strong your advertising is, how smart your website communicates your brand and how great your products are it&#8217;s all about the physical environments. Once you enter the store actual sale is about in-store presence. Even though Poseidon is a small brand compared to some of it&#8217;s competitors we&#8217;ve strived to dress it up like a market leader. Strong visual appearance. On brand. Emotionally engaging. This is what shop owners want from a brand and we&#8217;ve tried to deliver just that.</p>

<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Product display concepts that builds the Poseidon brand story while serving as a demo platform for the new Poseidon discovery.<br />
</em></span></p>
<h3>The New Poseidon Website Design</h3>
<p>One of the core components in the new brand platform is of course the digital presence. As we set out to revamp the brand online we first developed a series of different designs. All in all we designed twelve different layouts before deciding on the final design. It was key for us to find a designed that appealed both to the client as well as the target group. Once the site designs was approved and copywriter <a href="http://uk.linkedin.com/in/judyolsencopywriter" target="_blank">Judy</a> was well on her way to revamp the tone of voice we brought in open source developers <a href="http://www.devcore.se/" target="_blank">Devcore</a> to help Poseidon bring the site to life.</p>

<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>It was important for us to develop a design that felt dynamic.</em></span></p>
<h3>Increase the overall look and feel</h3>
<p>Overall one of our objectives was to increase the level of quality on all kinds of communication material. Among other things I developed photo briefs for both products as well as corporate information such as press photography and portraits. Once we&#8217;ve shot the photos together with Poseidons &#8216;house photographer&#8217; <a href="http://www.anderskampe.com/" target="_blank">Anders Kämpe</a> I worked together with my homie retoucher and photographer <a href="http://www.andreaslubeck.com/" target="_blank">Andreas Lübeck</a> to bring out the best in the photos.</p>

<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">An extremely short depth of field to ad a more personal look and feel to portrait shots.</span></em></p>
<h3>Making product catalogs more engaging.</h3>
<p>Finally I think this 4 page product catalog serve as a good example what happens when all this great brand material comes together into one simple yet important point of sale piece.</p>

<h3>Poseidon Diving -A dream assignment</h3>
<p>To work with Poseidon has been fantastic. To be part of a journey like this is great. To be able to control every component from strategy to tactical execution is even greater. The result is there to see but it&#8217;s just the beginning. As we speak we&#8217;re getting ready to initiate social media strategies including presence on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Flickr and much more. <em>We&#8217;re only just starting.</em></p>
