Llarsen branding

Turning a 100-year-old watchmaker into an international lifestyle brand

Client: Llarsen Watches

Key Focus: Growth in Asian markets

Timespan: 2018

Established in 1919, LLarsen Watches is one of Denmark’s oldest watchmakers. We brought them into the 21st century but stayed true to their heritage by visualizing and showcasing the Danish mindset and lifestyle. With a new visual identity, engaging online shopping platform and adverts for TV, social media and more, we used a new vision and contemporary approach to take a century-old fairy tale and turn it into a modern, desirable lifestyle that unifies the product and its history. The brand paved the way for entry into the Asian market, telling a compelling story with a strong base.

Recruiting blood donors online

Client: BlodDonorer Danmark

Partnership Lead: Sara Friis Bache

Key Focus: Digital prototype

BlodDonors Denmark had the ambition to take a more digital approach to recruit new donors and help existing ones keep track of their appointments. This meant redesigning their user sign-up flow and creating videos to explain the benefits of a digital-first approach to donation. The new app created a comprehensive overview for both donors and nurses. Not only could it keep track of previous appointments, book new ones, and find hospitals – but it could also send out emergency notifications when certain blood types were needed, creating a more effective system for vital blood donation.
