ABOUT ÅSK

Hi, I'm a creative technologist

And you may ask yourself, what the heck is that? Where does that highway lead to? I studied at Parsons in New York and the Scool of Communication Arts in London. I've worked in advertising and tech since my first jobs at Ericsson and Drömfabriken, hopping between the then separated fields with ease. I help clients develop their brands, strategy, communication and develop their digital services. I also illustrate, do architectural design, interior design and art direction. I have hands-on experience in renovations, construction, app development, brand boutique interior designs and 360 campaigns.

IDG Computerworld / Internetworld @IDGse 2005

"5 professional blogs" the headline reads, as IDG magazine rates the top five. Adland is one of them.

"Adland is the worlds first advertising blog. It began as a website in 1996 and became a blog in 2000. A legendary community blog written in English which is run by the Swede Åsk Wäppling. If you want to watch commercials, you've found home."

"In Svenska Dagbladet, political editor P.J. Anders Linder has started the first 'management blog', and Swedish Åsk Wäppling runs the internet's largest blog about advertising Adland from Copenhagen, and has 30,000 visitors to the blog daily."

Intet nytt under solen

Det arrangeras seminarier om det och startas förbund för dem som praktiserar det. Det hetaste senaste är viral och "buzz" marknadsföring.

Men vad är det man egentligen menar när man pratar om dessa nya påhitt, och är det så nytt egentligen?

För mycket reklam?

"Det finns alldeles för mycket reklam!"

Krokusen blommar, solen skiner och vi strosar från tidningsbutiken till caféet runt hörnet, jag med en pinfärsk fet Wired under armen, kollegan med en hög andra tidningar.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Sam Sharpe DevOps / SRE, Python Developer, Systems Engineer

I first worked with Åsk when adland.tv was a Customer of my Team at Rackspace Hosting. What made her a pleasure to work with was that she would do her own research about her hosting needs, ask intelligent questions and was fully prepared to implement our recommendations or explain why we should implement hers.

One of the great things to deal with, was when Åsk had a problem, it was usually interesting or difficult, because if it was a routine issue or something that could be researched, she would have already solved it!

We all took it as a great personal loss when Åsk moved her hosting to away from us, as she was no longer relying very much on our Support Team and could quite happily support her own web hosting - but we still hope she'll be back some day!

Evan Brown - Creative Director, Facebook

Åsk has worked as an art director for even longer than she has been the CEO and founder of the original advertising site: adland.tv. She has an intuitive grasp of not only how advertising should be rolled out, but as an art director, she understands what makes a concept work. Her work is conceptual, she is a great creative, a fast thinker, and could rival chess players with her intuitive grasp of "what's next." There are many people who pretend to understand online advertising and social media. Most are charlatans. But Åsk is the real deal and has been for a while

Kurt Beren Geiger Creative Copywriter

Åsk's dedicated work at Adland has been an enormous source of inspiration for both my job as a copywriter and my position as an advertising professional in general. There is simply no better place to keep a finger on the pulse of the international advertising community than Adland.

Chris Hunter Founder of Bike EXIF, owner at Garagista Media.

Åsk's peerless judgment and eye for an idea has turned Commercial Archive into a must-see website for all advertising creatives.

Paul Marsden Research Psychologist / Lecturer at University of the Arts London

Smarter than Lund, cooler than Lisbeth.

Joeri Bakker - Nutcracker

Åsk is a very very very original mind.

Justin Kirby - Author, Branding, Content and Digital Strategy Consultant

Åsk is not only a huge creative talent but the adland equivalent of the Oracle of Delphi!

Henrik Brameus - Sr. Solution Architect at Salesforce Marketing Cloud

There are few people as passionate and idealistic when it comes to advertising as Åsk. Her wry sense of humour and sarcastic digs at the industry where she makes her living is entertaining and accurate. Commercial Archive has become a true resource for anybody interested in advertising. Åsk did Web 2.0 long before anybody knew what that was.
