Elderly woman looking up at something out of frame

The Super Seniors

About the project

Liseberg wanted to challenge stereotypical perceptions of the elderly and show that the amusement park is for everyone. Through a PR-driven campaign, a record attempt was created that put ageism in the spotlight.

Concept

With the Super Seniors, we invited retirees over 70 to try to break the world record for the highest average age on a roller coaster. Out of over 200 applicants, 18 participants were selected for the record attempt on Valkyria, where their stories and personalities became an important part of the campaign.

Impact

On September 3, the ride was completed with an average age of 80.1 years, a new world record. The campaign generated 48 press clippings, live broadcasts on TV4 and P4, as well as international attention in media outlets such as Vogue and PR Week. In social media, the campaign reached over 1.6 million organic views and nearly 126,000 likes.

FAQ

How quickly can we appear in the media?

That depends on the news. Editorial offices decide for themselves. What we stand for is the craft: the right angle, the right journalist, the right timing, built on relationships spanning two decades.

A news story that is already hot can go out the same week. An area you want to own over time takes longer, as it is about building you up as a source that editorial offices return to.

We never guarantee publication. What we can promise is that the material is thoroughly prepared, that it lands with the right person, and that you will find out why something didn't hit the mark.

Do you work on an ongoing basis or with one-off campaigns?

Both. The greatest value is built on an ongoing basis. Media presence is a relationship, not a campaign.

One-off pitches work when there is something concrete to share: a report, a launch, an announcement. Then we put together the angle, materials, and list, and make it happen.

Ongoing work looks different. We monitor your agenda, identify opportunities where you have something to contribute, and keep in touch with journalists between pitches. That is where most of the coverage comes from.

Does PR also help visibility in AI answers?

Yes. AI services cite credible sources, and authoritative mentions in the media are exactly what PR work produces.

Language models place heavy weight on where something is published. A mention in an established title ranks higher than what you write on your own site, for the same reason a journalist calls an independent expert.

This means that PR and visibility in search are starting to link together. We track how you are mentioned in AI responses and can show the change over time, so that the work can be evaluated.
