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.

Anyday

Buy now. Pay anyday.

Key Focus: Branding

Anyday is a transparent alternative to the traditional BNPL (buy now, pay later) solutions. Their business model is built to battle and effectively eradicate the unpleasant surprises of extra interest fees that you’ll find in small print on the existing solutions on the market. In trying to enter an industry ruled by big industry players with deep pockets, the company needed to find a way to build market share in a competitive space while challenging the fundamentals of the category. The solution: when they go big, go super small. This meant first defining the brand position and translating it into an identity. Then, they zoomed in on the most essential moment - where the shopper has to decide how to pay, creating a B2B-first strategy to convince shops to include Anyday as a payment provider on their site.
