REPUTATION in new alliance with Nordic adaptation agency, X2MI’m pleased to announce that Reputation has just got closer to X2M, a rapid implementation agency located in all the Nordic capitals. X2M’s cost-efficient set-up swiftly adapts regional campaigns into local market tactics. Their impressive client roster includes Coca Cola, several P&G consumer brands including Oral-B and Vicks, and all FIAT, Alfa Romeo and Chrysler campaigns across Denmark and Sweden. As part of our new strategic alliance, X2M Denmark is now located in offices adjacent to REPUTATION, to ensure close collaboration. As Publicis Groupe comet agency, REPUTATION is evolving into a strong strategic and creative hub. Teaming up with X2M makes perfect sense to be able to roll out efficient local implementation. We are Nordic lead agency for three brands and global lead for five others, and our X2M alliance will nurture the handling of these clients and strengthen our client offering, particularly in the Nordic region. With X2M on board, we intend to do everything possible to make 2010 yet another growth year for the agency and the clients we serve.

Kind regards

Alexander Peitersen, Managing Director REPUTATION

Since Max Factor announced that their official sponsor-ship of Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW) last year, we’ve been working hard to make their new fashion presence known and felt.

“Beauty is back in Fashion” was the MAXim for a range of activities led by Team Reputation in the run-up to the recent Fashion Week; from outdoor materials to an online New Talent Award. The competition was a completely new concept for this kind of fashion week sponsorship. An online project, votes were cast through the Reputation-designed website and drew attention to the annual competition as well as the Facebook group, creating a database of interested folk. Featuring on many a fashion and culture blog and publication, our competition and Fashion Week drive garnered plenty of press attention.

All this hard work meant only one thing; time to blow off some steam and let our hair down at a Friday night soiree that kicked-off the Fashion Week. Reception and meeting rooms went under the knife and got a complete make-over into a fashion-show backstage while guests were welcome to storm the runway on our front-of-house pavement catwalk. Upstairs, guest dj Sneaky Uncle was spinning choonz while our Model Zone basement featured cutting-edge hairdressers, MoreTeaSir wielding their scissors on willing (and rather inebriated) volunteers.

We would like to thank all who joined us, especially Eva Kruse of the Danish Fashion Institute for her inspiring presentation, as well as all of the Max Factor team. Thanks also to sponsors Diageo, Kronenbourg and of course, Max Factor.

In-Sanne-tyStorebælt campaign is #1

Since their inception, our series of tvcs and materials for the Great Belt Bridge has garnered both critical acclaim and a measurable ROI. The latest accolade is first place in the monthly survey, Karakaterbogen by Danish marketing organisation Markedsføring for our character Sanne in the film “Weekend Billet” – one of four films from this sum-mer’s campaign.

High scores went to our campaign’s awareness creation, branding and uniqueness. What’s more, a huge 87% of re-spondents recognised Storebælt as the message “sender” - a category for which no one has scored as high since the survey started in 2008.

Without blowing our own trumpet too much, Sanne and Storebælt is a really interesting case because of its strong concept and characterisation, online presence and focus on branding through results. As part of the team master-minding the campaign, we asked our Creative Director, Ulf Westmark for his perspectives.

“With the Storebælt campaign, Sanne’s creation is the result of hard work based on a lot of combined inputs from ourselves, the client and the director – Ole Bornedal. The aim was to connect the people actually working on the bridge with the public and give the bridge a face that would be easily recognisable now and in the years to come.

Our client wanted to come across as a very service-oriented organisation, which is something that a lot of companies want. So we wanted be a little more disruptive by exaggerating her service-mindedness and by giving her a few almost “supernatural” abilities and a lot of energetic creativity. This plays well up against her more reactionary boss and creates a humorous tension between the two characters. Besides this, the casting of Pernille Vallentin as Sanne was spot-on – much of the film’s success is thanks to her. She’s definitely a character that you’ll either love or hate, there is no middle ground here. But either which way, you’ll still stick around to see what she’s up to next…”

And that just happens to be a host of online, customer service educational videos that answer FAQ. They’ll be online at the end of March. www.storebaelt.dk

With over 100,000 customers, Eik Bank is Denmark’s leading online bank. In a world of financial uncertainty and unrest, Eik is all about being a fair, honest and caring bank. To that end, they asked REPUTATION to create awareness for their brand in the run-up to Christmas last year.

Our online campaign presented a quick test of Danish Christmas spirit, in the form of a moral dilemma: Would you like the chance to win a nice thing (designer toaster, espresso machine etc) or would you rather donate your prize to a children’s charity to help fund educational projects in Africa? Hmmm, tough one.

Online banners directed people to a campaign site with new questions every day about Eik Bank, with the opportunity to subscribe to a competition e-mail service. A real-time ‘prize-o-meter’ displayed which choice was most popular: the goodie or the do-goodie.

The campaign was a great success with nearly 45.000 entries falling into two almost equal camps; 51% wanted Christmas presents for themselves, and 49% chose the feel-good factor of a charitable donation. What does that say about the Danes’ Christmas spirit? You decide . . .

Carousel of CutenessAaaaaaaaw, kids. So small and yet, so powerful, with their constant

demands and incessant whining. Seriously, we are a fairly family-

oriented agency here at Reputation, which is why we always have a

lot of fun doing the Miniature materials. For the Spring/Summer 2010

image brochure and lookbook, we built a vivid and playful concept

around a photoshoot in Copenhagen’s magical Tivoli. Gorgeous clothes,

cutie models and a colourful setting created a jolly amusing little book.
