The New York based seminar Cutting-Edge Creative in September, will examine the growing influence and impact of Swedish creative agencies on the New York market.

New York is the center of the world for advertising and creative agencies – and where they compete for some of the world's biggest accounts. This market is now marked by an ever stronger Swedish presence whose award-winning campaigns continue to raise the bar – not least by the digital agencies. Why have Swedish advertising, design and digital media been so internationally successful? What is to expect from Sweden in the future?

This and many other topics will be discussed at The Paley Center in New York on September 26, as part of Advertising Week V, North America's largest gathering of advertising and media professionals. The seminar is hosted and sponsored by the Consulate General of Sweden in New York, the Advertising Association of Sweden and the Swedish Trade Council.

The program will feature a keynote address by Matias Palm Jensen, CEO of Farfar, as well as two moderated panel discussions with Swedish and American advertising professionals.

Hyper Island CEO Mattias Hansson will participate in a panel discussion called ”The Swedish Digital Phenomenon: Are We As Good As We Think We Are?”. Mattias will discuss the matter with Calle Sjönell from BBH, Matias Palm Jensen from Farfar and Patrick Gardner from Perfect Fools.

The Hyper Island café in the cellar of the old prison building in Karlskrona, is not only a place where our co-workers and students go for a snack. It is also a place where disabled high school students can practise their working skills.

The café is run by Ulrika Fransson and Doris Olausson and I visited them earlier this summer to talk about the project.

- This is a chance for these kids to meet other young people, and for the Hyper Island students to meet us, says Ulrika Fransson.

Where do the students come from?
- From Kihlströmska Highschool, a school that works only with disabled children, says Doris Olausson.

What do the students do here?
- We have twelve students working here three or five hours per day. They make sandwiches, clean the kitchen, serve lunch and so on, says Ulrika Fransson.

What is the purpose of this project?
- When the students graduate, they have had a chance to practise how to work, and most of them can manage to get a job at the municipality. This is a really good project for them, says Doris Olausson.

Do they like working here?
- Most of them. But like most kids they prefer to drink coffee and chat, says Ulrika Fransson.

Kasumi is a female ninja skilled in the Mugen Tenshin Style of Ninjutsu. She was to become the 18th Master of the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan, but ran away in order to enter the 'Dead or Alive' tournament. There, she hoped to defeat the one responsible for crippling her brother. But, by leaving the secretive ninja clan, she became a nukenin (runaway shinobi), so every day she must live on the run from her former comrades.

Wacoal signs up Hamasaki for underwear ads in Asian market

TOKYO —
Lingerie maker Wacoal has signed up singer Ayumi Hamasaki, 29, for its lingerie advertising campaign in the Asian market. According to Wacoal, photos of Hamasaki in Wacoal underwear will be used for advertisements in China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam from the end of July. The ads will not be used in Japan, the company said.

A spokesperson for Wacoal said, “Ms Hamasaki has the highest profile in Asia and is supported by females fans in their 20s who are our target consumers.” The company is expecting a synergy effect from the ads with her Asian tour in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taiwan from Sept 20.

TOKYO — Celebrity Yuko Ogura, 24, has been awarded the “1st Japan Gravure Idol Award” by Sankei newspaper’s online entertainment site “ZAKZAK.” The organizers said they chose Ogura by considering sales of her DVDs and photo albums, as well as exposure to media and appearances at public events.

Ogura said, “I really appreciate my fans who support me all the time. When I started bikini modeling eight years ago, everybody thought models should have big breasts. But it’s different now. Diversified girls with different characters and shapes can succeed in modeling.”

The ceremony and interview with her will be broadcast on satellite channel SkyPerfectTV! on Aug 17.

The webb bureau Doberman was awarded the best workplace in Sweden 2007. This makes us extra proud, since the managing director Lisa Lindström graduated from Hyper Island eight years ago. I went to Doberman to talk to Lisa about what makes their web bureau such a great work place.

- Many reasons! First of all, we own the company together, which is important to us. Our goal values are quality, profitability and wellbeing. We believe that to be the best webb bureau we need to feel good as well, Lisa says.

How do you achieve that?
- We work with the idea that ”anything is possible”. We try to be very open. Everyone who works here knows everything about everything. We try to give eachother feedback all the time, both spontaniously and at specifik meetings. Feedback is love, as long as it is in the purpose of improving something. Also, everyone who wants to, can take the UGL course at Hyper Island, to get to know them selves better and to get tools to create the group that we want to be a part of.

What else do you do?
- We have development days three times a year where we sit down and discuss the future. Everybody participates in this. ”Everybody” is an important word here at Doberman, as we want everybody to feel that they can have their say.

Can you give me an example?
- We decided that we wanted a really cool office building and made mood boards, to find out what kind of place we wanted it to be. Then we moved everything ourselves and put the new office together by our selves as well. This way we all got involved and we all feel that this office is exactly the office that we wanted.

- Another thing is our philosophy: "to work to live”, and not "to live to work”, because we believe that this is a better way and it makes us last longer. We try to make sure that the work you do suit your motivation and knowledge so that you feel happy about what you are doing here. It is also important to feel that it is more than okey to have children and we try our best to make this work place a good one for parents. We also encourage people to come up with new ideas. Someone came up with the idea that we should do sports together, so now we have Doberman sports. Another thing is to evaluate our work and to learn from our mistakes and share that knowledge with our co-workers.

What did you study at Hyper Island?
- Digital Media. I focused on project leading and made my internship in Ney York.

What were you like as a student?
- An angry one I think. I used to make my own projects at Hyper Island as I didn’t always like the ones they gave me. Today I am very grateful for the learning experience I got there, but back then I thought it was unstructured. Now I can see why, and how that helped me become who I am today.

What did you learn at Hyper Island that you find useful now?
- That what and how is just as important when you want to achive a good result. We priortize the process just as much as what we are producing. I also learned to be curious, and the knowledge of knowing how to learn things. And I learned that openness is important to be more efficient. And that feedback results in less conflicts.

One of our Digital Media students in Karlskrona, Simone Magurno, was recently chosen to participate with his artwork in an art book from an Australian design community called Semi Permanent. I met him a couple of weeks ago and asked him some questions about it:

What is your artwork about?
- It is entitled "Future", and it was produced in October last year as a good omen for the new year.


What did you do to get your artwork published?
- They ask artists from all over the world to send in their artwork. There is no theme or anything. You can send them what ever you like. And then they chose the ones they like the most.

Where can I get the art book?
- It is for sale on their website: http://semipermanent.com/book_08.html


Have you published anything else?
- Yes I had another artwork published on Deleted Scenes, (www.deletedscenesmag.com), a new magazine dedicated to visual arts. I've been requested to participate in the launch issue of Deleted Scenes and create an artwork around the theme of "silence". I worked on the antinomy of the original meaning of the word and i've entitled the artwork "Dire spazio pieno" (tialian for "Saying crowded space").
