The Toyota AYGO is a small car, with one big difference. In Sweden, it's not a car you can buy, it's a car you subscribe to. This unusual market proposition is targeted at the younger, and more money conscious consumer. It was our task to execute the launch campaign, and online was deemed the perfect vehicle to reach our audience.

Our DNA - Purity of air leads to purity of thought

Situated in the north of Sweden , North Kingdom is a creative digital agency that isn't afraid to be different. In the North Kingdom , everything is unique and nothing is impossible. Our talented team of artists have a single, unified vision to push brands to new places, bringing every facet to life through interaction, imagination and innovation – it's what we call our design DNA. All relationships are built on mutual respect, none more so than ours. We have collaborated with leading brands including Vodafone, Philips, Coca Cola and Heineken – who all recognised the value in investing in the future of their brands with North Kingdom . If you're looking for design with a difference, step inside the North Kingdom .


Our story - A unique creative partnership

Discovered in 2003 by childhood friends Robert Lindström and Roger Stighäll, North Kingdom was built through a united need for new challenges. Since inception, there has been one goal for North Kingdom – to work creatively, effectively and above all, differently from anything else in the marketplace.


Our reign - A product of passion

The North Kingdom is filled with skilled creative inhabitants. We have three offices in Sweden , our HQ in Skellefteå, and two studios in Stockholm and Växjö. Our passion to conjure the unexpected and court creativity without compromise, gives us the edge we need to deliver the very best creative product.A diverse team of individuals with a diverse set of talents, the people of North Kingdom take great pride in everything they do. It's much more than just ‘work', it's something we all believe in – our lifeblood. We offer a range of services, everything from design to strategy to programming – the Kingdom is far reaching.


Our partners - Beyond the Kingdom walls

Our network of partners and close friends allows us to expand the North Kingdom far beyond its physical realm. Through a trusted, mutual relationship with a selection of recognised partners, we will always find the right solution for your project – however big or small. Partners include; Paregos, Moxiecode, Thomson Mediautveckling, RallyMedia, Chalet Design, Anton Eriksson, Dreamfield and Hero Creations


Our vision - ...and your future

At North Kingdom , we offer a unique creative product. Always with our finger on the pulse, we are exploring new technology, new means of communicating, and new ways of expression. We want to be at the forefront of creativity in this new arena, opening up new opportunities in digital media and pushing brands into new, exciting territory.





The skills - Every step of the way

North Kingdom is a provider of innovative, interactive design solutions. We facilitate every aspect of project delivery, from conceptualising, through design, production and post-production. Every piece of work we take on forms the basis of our relationship with our clients, with every aspect crafted to our very highest standard. Examples of our areas of work;

Websites, microsites and campaign sites
Rich online advertising DVD/CDROM production
Flash animation
Digital illustrations
Logo and corporate branding
Strategy definition and implementation


The rules - Made to be broken...

Something we like to call artistic anarchy – in the North Kingdom we don't care much for the laws of design. The only rule we adhere to is to continually excel ourselves and our clients' brands time after time. Interactive media allow us to experiment with our audiences, as much as it encourages them to experiment with us – arousing curiosity, intrigue and a genuine desire to connect.

Every task we take on is treated as new, the creative solution is fresh and the product is unique. We never underestimate the full experience, and so look to new technology, film, 3-D animation and sound to create strong brand presence.


The mechanics - All part of the process

We've got the parts, the people, the principles and the passion to create truly outstanding work... but without process, any machine will grind to...a...halt. At North Kingdom , whilst we don't stick to rules, we abide by practice – it's what keeps us ticking.

We are flexible in our approach to every new project, and we don't believe in one-size-all solutions. Whether you're local in Sweden or over the other side of the world, we'll find the balance that fits both sides of our relationship.
