Nordic Brief is where Nordic designers, creative directors, and agency leaders come to see what's happening in the industry. We offer select partners the opportunity to be part of that conversation.

Nordic Brief covers the creative work coming out of Nordic agencies — branding, digital design, visual identity — with an editorial standard rooted in craft and process. Our readers are the people who choose which agencies to work with, which designers to hire, and which creative direction to pursue.

Our Insight Features are deep-dive articles that explore a design trend or category challenge, with your agency's work as the primary case study. Rather than a simple project write-up, your work is placed in context: part of a broader movement, examined through the lens of method, strategy, and craft.

This is thought leadership earned through editorial framing, not advertising copy. You bring the project and the expertise. We bring the angle, the writing, and the audience.

Every Sponsored Insight Feature is clearly labelled as a partnership, researched and written by Nordic Brief's editorial team, and distributed through our newsletter and social channels.

The format

Editorial trend article — A long-form feature exploring a design trend or category challenge, with your project as the central example alongside broader industry context.

Agency voice — 1–3 quotes from your creative team, positioned as expert commentary on the trend. Your people explain the thinking, the process, the decisions.

Permanent placement — The article lives permanently on Nordic Brief, a lasting reference that positions your agency in the archive alongside the best Nordic work.

Example: "How do we brand vertical farming?", An Insight Feature exploring how Goods and Pond Design approached the branding challenge of making vertical farming accessible to consumers.
