Den norske presse har ligesom den norske befolkning et indgående kendskab til Danmark. Derfor søger vi altid at servere historier og forslag til pressebesøg med skarpe vinkler til journalisterne, fordi de søger noget unikt/eksklusivt til deres medier. Samtidig er der en skarp konkurrence fra mange andre aktører, hvilket også stiller krav til historierne og vores kontakt og kendskab til medierne og deres ønsker. Af samme grund netværker vi aktivt med journalisterne, så vi altid er på højde med hvilke historier, de er ude efter.

MINDblowing Meetings is the story about our unique Danish way of designing innovative meetings.
