Frequently asked questions
Communication
See what we do
What is a message platform?
Your narrative, your core messages, and your tone of voice gathered so that the entire organization can use them. It determines what you say, before the choice of channels determines where.
In practice, it is a short document: what you do, for whom, why it matters, and what evidence you rely on. Plus what it sounds like when a salesperson, a recruiter, and a CEO say the same thing in their own words.
The benefit becomes apparent when several people need to communicate at the same time. Without a platform, every initiative becomes a new negotiation about what applies. With it in place, work goes faster and the messages remain cohesive over time.

We already have a brand platform, do we need this?
Often, yes. The brand platform says who you are; the communication strategy says how you tell it, and to whom.
Brand work usually stops at position, promise, and values. This is the right basis, but it says nothing about which target groups should be reached first, which issues you should own in the debate, or what you should answer when someone questions you.
We therefore start with what you already have. If the platform holds, we build on it. If it does not match reality, we say so, with a proposal for what needs to be adjusted.
Read more
How do we start?
With a conversation about the current situation. Then we say what is needed. Sometimes it is less than you think.
The conversation is about where you stand, what you have tried, and what is causing the friction. We would love to see what you have already produced, regardless of how finished it is. That tells us more than a brief.
After that, you will receive a recommendation: a proposal for the first step, what it means in terms of time, and how much it costs. If you choose to do it yourself from there, the material is yours to use.
Read more
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.
Read more
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.
Read more
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.
Read more
Who needs media training?
Anyone who has to speak for the organization under pressure: CEO, press manager, experts, board. The need is usually only apparent when the phone is already ringing.
The training is less about speaking beautifully and more about knowing what to say when the question is uncomfortable. We practice with your own questions and your own situation, not general examples.
Often a short session is enough for a spokesperson to feel confident in a normal interview. If an investigation is on the horizon, we spend more time and make it sharper.
Read more
What are AI-simulated interviews?
An AI plays the journalist: well-prepared, stubborn, and tireless. More rehearsals and tougher follow-up questions, without booking a studio.
The spokesperson answers in real-time and can run the same interview over and over again until the answers stick. Afterwards, we review what held up, where the message was lost, and which follow-up questions hurt.
It does not replace a real interview with a real journalist. It makes the rehearsal so cheap that it actually happens, which is the most common reason why media training fails to have an impact.
Read more
Tailored or general approach?
Both have their place. Ahead of a specific situation, such as a listing, review, or launch, a tailored approach is right; general programs build basic confidence.
A general program goes through the basics: how an editorial team thinks, how an interview is structured, and how to stick to your message when questions start to wander. It is suitable when multiple people need to be ready to participate.
A tailored program is based on your own issues and the current situation you are in. We learn the case, formulate the most difficult questions, and run them under realistic conditions.
Read more
Do we need a crisis plan?
Less than you think. A plan often becomes outdated the very moment a crisis occurs. A clear structure for who does what lasts longer.
What is usually lacking are simple things: who makes decisions, who speaks, who informs employees, and how you reach each other outside of office hours.
That structure can be put in place quickly and it holds up no matter what happens. Practice it once a year, and it will be there when it is needed.
Read more
Can you help when the crisis is already underway?
Yes, that is often when we are called in.
We step into the situation as it stands: what has happened, what is known, who is asking, and what you have already said. After that, we establish a line you can hold, and ensure that everyone who responds says the same thing.
Get in touch early rather than late. Most situations get worse with silence and with information that changes during the day.
Read more
Do you work with the public sector?
Yes, we have extensive experience in crisis management in both public and private sectors.
The conditions differ. The principle of public access to official documents means that material can be requested, decision-making paths are more numerous, and pressure often comes simultaneously from the media, employees, and politicians.
We are familiar with both the regulations and the pace in that environment. The same applies to private companies that have scrutinizing owners or a regulatory authority behind them.
Read more
Do you work within our existing brand guidelines?
Yes. And when the guidelines get in the way, we say so, with a proposal on what needs to be changed.
We ask for what you have: graphic manual, tone of voice, previous campaigns. If nothing is written down, we read what you have already published and start from there.
Frameworks exist to make the work faster. When they instead stand in the way of what you need to say, we bring it up immediately, instead of delivering something that looks right but does the wrong job.
Read more
How does creative production connect with your other services?
Closely. The same creators work on PR campaigns, digital services, and data-driven production. The building blocks are selected according to need.
An idea that is going out in the media, on the website, and in advertising benefits from coming from the same direction. When production is housed elsewhere, it often loses its angle along the way.
With us, the strategists, PR people, and creators sit in the same project. You might as well buy only the production if that is the part you are missing.
Read more
Can you guarantee that we will get media coverage?
No. No agency can promise publication, and anyone who does is selling something other than PR.
What we influence is the basis: news that holds up, the right timing, the right person to call, and material that the editorial team can use immediately. The network ensures we know who is covering what.
We also tell you when an idea won't work. Rather that than burning a contact on a mailing that no one wants.
Read more
How do we know that the communication is working?
You decide what should happen before the work starts, and we measure against that.
What can be measured depends on the assignment: media coverage, traffic and conversions in your own channels, or how often you are mentioned in AI responses. We select a few metrics and track them over time.
Not everything can be measured in numbers. Trust and positioning move more slowly, and when that is the case, we say so instead of making up a number.
Read more
Do you produce everything yourselves?
Strategy, PR, concept, copywriting, design, technical architecture and development we do ourselves.
Film production, advanced photography, 3D and media buying we bring in from our network. We manage the project and hold the whole thing together, so you have one contact person instead of four suppliers.
Who is brought in depends on the assignment. We will let you know who they are before the work begins.
Read more
How much does it cost to hire a PR agency?
It mostly depends on whether you need a single media pitch or ongoing media presence. After an initial conversation, you will receive a fixed price or a capped price, so you know what it costs before anything starts.
A defined pitch is priced as a package. Ongoing work is calculated per part, and then you can see what each effort costs.
No two PR assignments are alike, so we set the price once we know what needs to be done.
Read more
Does the PR agency have to be located in Gothenburg?
No, but it helps when the news is local. An agency on the spot knows which editorial offices cover Western Sweden and who there writes about what.
We can also sit in the same room when needed, before an interview or a difficult day.
For nationwide media, the address is less important. There, the news and the relationship with the journalist carry more weight. From Gothenburg, we have experience with partners all over Sweden, in Finland, and in Norway.

Digital services

What is a digital feasibility study?
A scoped investigation before you invest: needs, alternatives, cost, and risk. It ends in a recommendation you can act on.
We map the needs of those who will use the service, review what you already have, and weigh the alternatives against each other. Each path is given a rough cost and a clear risk.
You receive a supporting document that can be taken to management or the board: what the problem is, what it costs to solve, and what happens if you do nothing.
Read more
We are thinking about AI, where do we start?
Not in the technology. Start with what the organization needs it for. A maturity assessment shows where AI adds value and where it just becomes noise.
The assessment looks at which workflows take time today, what data you have in order, and what the organization is capable of managing after the launch. This last point fails the most projects.
The result is usually a short list of use cases worth testing, and a longer list of things that sound good but are not sustainable. Both lists are useful.
Read more
Does the feasibility study have to lead to you building?
No. The study is yours. Build with us, with someone else, or not at all.
We write it so that anyone can price it: requirements, alternatives, cost ranges, and risks. No lock-ins in our tools and no formulations that only we can interpret.
Sometimes the conclusion is that you should not build anything at all. We state that just as clearly as the opposite.
Read more
Do you build both web and app?
Yes. Websites, apps, and digital services, from user research to production and operation.
The way of working looks the same regardless of technology. We start with the users' needs, develop and test a proposal, and then build in steps that can be released continuously rather than in a single large delivery.
We also take over services that someone else has built. We then start with a review of the code, content, and operation, so that you know what you have before we promise anything.
Read more
How do you make sure it is accessible?
WCAG is part of the build from the start, not an afterthought review. For legal requirements such as EAA, LPTT, and DOS, we connect the accessibility service.
In practice, this means that contrasts, keyboard navigation, heading structure, and screen reader support are handled when the interface is designed and coded, long before it is to be delivered.
We test continuously using both tools and by hand. Automated tests catch some of the requirements; the rest require someone to sit down with a keyboard and screen reader.
Read more
Are we covered by the legal requirements?
More and more organizations are. The EAA, enacted in Sweden as the LPTT, has covered large parts of the private sector since 2025. The DOS Act, Sweden’s web accessibility law for public bodies, covers the public sector. We clarify what applies specifically to you.
In short: The DOS Act affects public and publicly funded operations. The EAA and LPTT affect private actors who sell certain services to consumers, such as e-commerce, banking, transport, and digital books.
There are exceptions, including for the smallest companies, and transitional rules for services that were in place before the requirements came into force. We review your situation and tell you what applies before you spend money on measures.
Read more
What is a WCAG audit?
A review of your service against WCAG requirements, with flaws listed and prioritized. You will find out where you stand and what needs to be addressed first.
We review the service against WCAG 2.2 at level AA, both with tools and manually, and test the most important flows with a keyboard and screen reader.
You will receive a list of the issues, where they are located, which requirement they violate, and how much they affect the user. The list is sorted, so you can start at the top and work your way down.
Read more
We have already done an audit, is that enough?
No, not if the service has been updated since then. The ongoing work is what keeps compliance alive.
An audit is a snapshot of what it looked like that day. Every new release, new page, and new document can introduce new flaws, and content is the most common source.
What lasts over time is that the requirements are integrated into the regular work: in the design, in the code review, and among those who publish content. We help you get there and follow up with recurring checks.
Read more
Does it make up answers?
No. It retrieves information from your own material and links to the source. If it does not find an answer, it says so.
Technically, it is based on searching for the correct paragraphs from your documents and formulating the answer based on them. The model is not allowed to answer freely from its own memory.
Each answer shows where it comes from, so the user can go to the source and verify. This also means that an error can be traced to a document and corrected there, instead of someone having to guess what the system was thinking.
Read more
Does it work in the public sector and regulated environments?
Yes, those are the environments we build for. Security, data management, and the EU AI Act requirements regarding classification, hosting, and governance are handled right from the start.
Before anything is built, we review where data may reside, which vendors are approved by you, and how access should be controlled. Hosting within the EU is the starting point.
The EU AI Act requires that the system is classified correctly, that it is documented, and that someone owns the responsibility. We do that part together with you, as much of it concerns your own routines.
Read more
What happens to our data?
It stays yours. Where the content is stored and who is allowed to read what is controlled by your access model, with GDPR built-in from the ground up.
The content is located in your own environment or with a provider you have approved, within the EU. We do not train any models on your material.
Access follows the permissions you already have. Anyone who is not allowed to read a document will not receive any answers based on it either.
Read more
When do the requirements come into effect?
For the public sector, the DOS Act (Web Accessibility Directive) has applied for several years. For private services covered by the EAA and LPTT, the requirements have applied since the summer of 2025, with transitional rules for certain existing services.
Exactly what applies to you depends on the service in question, the sector you operate in, and how large the company is. We will sort this out in an initial review, before you spend money on measures.
Our experience is that the work takes longer than expected, especially when the content is old and located in documents and PDFs. Better to start now than when someone asks.
Read more
Does everything have to be fixed at once?
No. We prioritize based on user impact and risk, so that the obstacles affecting the most people are addressed first. You will receive a step-by-step action plan that can be integrated into regular development work, instead of a major overhaul.
In practice, the actual barriers rank highest: forms that cannot be filled out with a keyboard, contrast that makes text unreadable, and flows that stop for screen reader users. Individual pages with low traffic can wait.
You will also find out what needs to be changed in your way of working, so that the list doesn't fill up as fast as you work through it.
Read more
How do we maintain accessibility over time?
Accessibility is not something you ever finish. New releases, new content, and new requirements move the goalposts. We set up continuous monitoring and recurring audits, and train the team so that the work becomes part of daily routines rather than just sitting in a report.
In practice, this involves automated checks in the build, manual testing for major releases, and clear routines for content editors. Images, headings, and link texts are where most new issues tend to arise.
We also hand over the accessibility statement and the routine for keeping it updated, as it is a requirement in itself and quickly becomes outdated.
Read more
What happens after launch?
We are still here if you want us. After launch, you can sign a rolling agreement for management and support.
It covers technical maintenance, security updates, monitoring, and further development. This also includes ongoing follow-up, such as how an AI assistant responds or how the site converts.
The scope is determined by how business-critical the service is. If you wish to handle operations yourselves, we will hand over the documentation and go through it with you.

Data & media
See what we do
Our numbers haven't been adding up since the cookie transition, where do we start?
In a measurement strategy and a review of the data quality. Most often, the problem lies in what is measured, where and why, rather than in the tools.
We compare what is measured today with what you need to know. Often, tracking remains from several years ago that no one uses anymore, while what guides decisions is not measured at all.
After that, we look at consent, tagging and data quality. Once the foundation is right, it is possible to talk about tools and reports, and the figures start to be trustworthy again.
Read more
What is server-side tracking?
Measurement that goes through your own server instead of the visitor's browser. More stable data in a cookieless world, and more control over what is shared.
The browser sends an event to your own server, which in turn forwards what you have chosen to the respective tool. You decide what leaves the house and what stays.
The benefit is more stable measurement when browsers block scripts and shorten cookie lifetimes. Consent is still needed: the rules apply just as much when the measurement moves to the server.
Read more
We are already drowning in dashboards.
That is often where we begin. The goal is fewer views and clearer decisions, with analysis that tells you what to do.
We start from what decisions you need to make and how often. Anything that does not support one of those decisions can be removed without anyone missing it.
The result is usually one view for management, one for those working in the channels, and a deeper one for analysis. Plus a short text explaining what the numbers mean this month, because that is rarely obvious.
Read more
What are GEO and AEO?
Optimization to be visible in AI-generated answers (GEO) and to become the source that answers the question (AEO). Classic SEO is the foundation. This is the next layer.
In practice, it is about making the content quotable: clear questions and answers, structure that machines can read, sources and figures that can be verified, and mentions on sites the models trust.
Much of this makes the content better for humans as well. The difference lies in how it is structured and where it is visible.
Read more
Does it replace SEO?
No. AI answers are based on the same signals as search, namely quality, structure, and authority, but weight them differently. You need both.
Search still drives traffic. AI answers shape your image to the person asking, and increasingly, it is the first encounter a buyer has with you.
The fundamentals are shared: technical health, content that answers real questions, and external authority. On top of that, we add the work that makes you quotable.
Read more
Can visibility in AI responses be measured?
Yes. We track how often and how you are mentioned in AI answers and report the change. The field changes from month to month.
We ask a fixed set of questions to the major services at regular intervals and note if you are mentioned, how you are described, and which sources the answer relies on.
Over time, this provides a curve to work towards and a list of which sources are worth influencing. The measurement is young, so we also state what it does not show.
Read more
What is MMM?
Marketing mix modelling: a statistical method that shows which channels drive effect over time. A complement to attribution when cookies are no longer sufficient.
The model compares historical investments against outcomes and calculates how much each channel contributed, taking into account seasonality, price, and external factors. It requires no tracking at the individual level.
It is suitable when you buy media in multiple channels and need to know what should go up and what should go down. The prerequisite is data from some time back, preferably a couple of years.
Read more
We are getting great reports from our channels, isn't that enough?
The channels' own reports grade themselves. Independent measurement shows what would have happened without the effort.
Each platform also uses its own rules for what constitutes a conversion and how long it can be credited. If you sum up the reports, you will get more conversions than you actually had.
An independent measurement uses the same definition for everything and can compare the channels against each other. The platforms' reports are still useful for optimizing within the channel. They are less suitable when distributing the budget between them.
Read more
Is this programmatic advertising?
No, it's the production. DCO is about creating and adapting the content itself using data; the distribution can then take place through your regular channels.
Programmatic is about how the media space is bought. DCO is about what is shown in it: image, headline, offer, and format are adapted to the recipient, location, and occasion.
The two work well together, but one can be used without the other. We build the production so that it works in the channels you already have.
Read more
Doesn't everything become standardized when it's automated?
On the contrary, that is the risk of manual production under time pressure: one variant for everyone. Automation frees up craftsmanship for concept and quality.
An automated workflow is based on a concept and a set of rules that you have decided on. Within those boundaries, it can produce hundreds of variants that still hold together.
The quality is determined by the concept and the templates. That is where the time should be spent, and that is the time that automation gives back.
Read more
Do we need to expand the team?
No. The point is more output from the same team. Automated workflows provide more relevant content without requiring more hands.
What usually eats up time are the adaptations: new formats, new languages, new offers on the same source material. That part can be automated.
We set up the workflow, go through it with the team, and hand it over. If you need help running it further, we are still here, but the goal is for you to manage it yourselves.
Read more
Do we need to change analysis tools?
Usually not. We start with what you already have and check if it measures the right things.
Common mistakes include double-counted traffic, goals that were never updated, and a cookie solution that drops half of the visits. This can be corrected without changing platforms.
A platform switch might be necessary when requirements change, for example, regarding personal data or server-side tracking. In that case, we will let you know what the switch will cost in terms of time before you decide.
