The combination between journalism and marketing resulted in a cooperation between two young entrepreneurs sharing the same vision only 4 years ago.

Digital Media & Creative Production Agency
Swedish Chamber of Commerce Patron Member Captains is a contemporary translation of a digital media & creative production agency. With production and distribution under one roof; makers and marketeers at the drawing table of each project.
