PRODUCT MEDIA SPECIALISTS

 

Product media is about communicating using products. The products must tell a story, and it is important to us that your story is told in the right way.

We have been in business for 37 years and our strength lies in the expertise of our employees. We have deliberately chosen to have important functions in-house.

As a total supplier of product media, we help you through the entire chain from idea, design and concept to production, storage and logistics.

We have offices in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland, and our project managers are ready to develop product media together with you and your company!

OUR VISION

 

We will be the IDÉ supplier that stimulates relationships between people in working life. 

Our foundation and our basic business philosophy is that we differentiate ourselves from our competitors by coming up with constructive proporsals and ideas for solutions to a greater extent. Our proposed solutions are not methodology or behavioral therapy, but concrete tools that make visible the company’s profile and value base between people in working life: We limit our task to include relationships to be built between employees, between the company’s profile and value base.

In addition to promotional products, we also offer a number of services. We are more than happy to assist you with idea, concept development and design. We also build webshops and handle logistics. With this, we title ourselves as a total provider of product media.

CLIENT REFERENCES

After 37 years, we have many success stories to share! We will share some of our customers' journeys.

CARLSBERG

 

In 2019, Carlsberg decided to change their product media supplier, and they chose IDÉ House of Brands. ​Carlsberg's many brands have high value, and we are impressed by the strategic choices Carlsberg makes with Produktmedia as a channel and the results it produces. ​

We help Carlsberg with everything from choosing products to design, setting up the webshop and logistics. Together with the brand managers, we work with visibility campaigns and brand-building campaigns to secure Carlsberg's position in the market. ​

We have worked closely with the various brand managers and agencies to achieve Carlsberg's goals and ambitions.

THE CIRCLE K-CUP

 

Every year, Norwegians fill their coffee cup over 20 million times at Circle K. We are proud to have been part of this journey since 2003. The first cup was supposed to be a gift to the "gold customers", but the following year it was re- introduced as the "Breakfast Cup" and the rest is history. ​

Close collaboration between IDÉ and Statoil resulted in several different "limited edition" cups. Some of the variations were so popular that they are considered collectibles.

 

"It is important for Circle K to have a partner who recognizes how important the Cup is to our customers and to us as a company. The cup and Circle K's coffee deal is very popular and highly valued. Therefore, we will fall hard if we do not respect our customers' wishes and needs. IDÉ House of Brands has shown in practice that they understand this, and at the same time they are actively involved in developing the Koppen concept to accommodate tomorrow's customers."

HAVILA KYSTRUTEN

 

Havila Kystruten is a customer who makes strict demands on its uniforms. Here, both durability, cut and, the correct number of stripes are absolutely essential.

Together with Havila and our partner Ted Bernhardtz, we have selected a collection of stocked models that cover all Havila's needs. Everything from captains' uniform to catering, cleaning staff to operations. To ensure that all employees are satisfied, Havila has a tailor available for customizations during the start-up phase.

To make the collection available in the best possible way, we run a webshop where they can order the right work clothes based on which department they work in. This webshop also includes uniforms for Havilas' three hotels.

Being a total supplier of uniforms to such a large customer is both a fun challenge, and not least a declaration of confidence in the work we put into this type of project.

Thank you very much Havila!
