A hearty Swedish welcome to Daniel, Gavin, Jonathan, Jörgen, Martin, Magnus, Nika, Nora, Patrick and Tobias. Phew…
We’re happy to have you onboard and we’re proud of you already.
Hey designer.
We are looking for a methodic graphic designer, with excellent knowledge in typography and layout. You are probably a person with diverse interests and with mannerism and style diversity in your blood. Also, you’re a very nice person.
You are comfortable working with wireframes – sometimes your own, sometimes from someone else. Your are comfortable working on briefs that are extremely detailed – or extremely free.
Rough sketches is your middle name. Photoshop is all you need to create comps clear enough for your mom to get the campaign idea. You’ve got a digital heart, but that doesn’t mean you write 20 tweets a day.
Agency experience is a must. Preferably from different agencies and countries. You know that it takes hard work, hard work and more hard work to accomplish great work.
Desirable bonus features:
+ Motion design knowledge
+ Print design experience
+ After Work presence

Creatives, please!
CP+B Europe is looking for smart guys/girls for our Gothenburg office.
You are pretty much a greenhorn, but have already figured out that advertising has changed into something else. You are devoted and drawn to that something else and you don’t label yourself an ”ad person”. Regardless if your primary skill is Art, Copy or both – you’re pretty much fluent in English and hopefully you know German or Spanish. (If you infact are British, German or Spanish that’s even better.)
Media is not important for your ideas – but if you’ve got a digital heart like most of us here – you’ll fit in right away. And by digital we mean interactive, but you already know that.
So.
Talented? Hard working? Prestigeless? Self-driven? Primus inter pares?
Awesome.

You speak your mind whenever it needs to be heard – no matter if it’s just to break the ice during a meeting, or if it’s about telling an account manager that your challenge just became more… challenging.
We don’t climb mountains. But we do like our challenges. Do you? Oh, and nerds are very welcome (just not the scary anti-social kind).
Core competence:
- Microsoft .NET
- Microsoft SQL Server

All men are vulnerable.
For as long as we can remember, advertising has told men that manliness is all about beer, F1-driving, being a fighter pilot and headbutts. That men are supposed to be rock hard and more or less “invulnerable.” Well, in reality, all men know that true manhood comes with great pain and suffering. Not only from shaving.
Male pain may not be an easy thing to talk about, but you have to. When you’re ready to take that next step and talk about your vulnerability, you’ll also be ready to discover the new smooth shaver – Philips NIVEA FOR MEN. And discover your manliness.
At www.manligsarbarhet.se, (that’s Swedish for ‘male vulnerability’), you can borrow a mouth and learn how to talk about what worries you.
So, open up and get ready to shave.
Right now the campaign is available in the four Scandinavian languages. And soon there will be an English version too.

Just spin the globe and get your passport ready. It’s time for the SAS globe of fortune!.
The SAS globe of fortune
We were in Cannes. And New York as well.
Permit us to summarize the week in a little bit of a bragging manner. Not very Swedish, but well, we just couldn’t help ourselves today.
With a little help from our friends, CP+B group received 14 nominations at this years Cannes Lions. Over here at CP+B Europe we received two silvers and a bronze, while our friends on the other side of the pond secured both a gold and two bronze. And will you look at that. Seems we’ve gone and won ourselves both a Gold and a Silver at this years New York Festivals too.
So thank you team & thank you clients. We’re very proud. And still very Swedish.
We’re in Cannes
Well a few of us at least. And as it’s the last year we’ll be here representing Daddy, we figured we’d go out with a bang. So we’ve gone and got ourselves four nominations in the Cyber lions category to celebrate. Good times.
Keep your fingers crossed.
