Fjord’s growth continues with new Spanish launch

Due to a strong increase in the Spanish digital sector, and as part of its ongoing growth strategy, Fjord – Europe’s leading digital service design consultancy - is today opening a new office in Madrid, Spain.

Since early 2009 Fjord has worked with a variety of Spanish clients including leading brands such as Telefonica and BBVA. Opening an office in Madrid will enable Fjord to better support these and the many innovative, forward thinking Spanish companies.

As leaders in cross platform digital design, the award-winning team at Fjord is committed to delivering services that are both elegant and simple. Working with Fjord enables companies to transform their products and services, while always keeping the end-user in mind. Fjord is perhaps best known for its work with the BBC iPlayer, as well as Nokia, Yahoo! and Flirtomatic.

The new Spanish office is a key component of Fjord’s planned expansion following investment in the company in late 2008, and the opening of Fjord’s first US office in New York. The company also has offices in Berlin, Helsinki, and London.

Olof Schybergson, Fjord CEO, said, “In this difficult economic climate where many companies are struggling, we are delighted that Fjord is on track with its growth strategy – opening an office in Spain shows our ambition and confidence in bringing our proposition to new markets. The world today is cross platform, and it’s changing at an incredibly fast rate. At Fjord we can see that very complicated service, media or product owners find it hard to keep up, and to deal with it all. We strive for simplicity – and in this complex digital landscape it’s something that is at a premium.”

Andy Goodman, Managing Director of Fjord Madrid, said, “The decision to open a new office in Spain has ultimately been client driven. We’ve been working hard in Spain for some time and it will be great to be able to deliver increased service for our current clients. Since landing in Madrid we have been thrilled to see the appetite of so many innovative clients to start working on complex strategic projects.”

Rodrigo Pineda, Internet Media Director, Telefónica, said, “The opening of the Fjord office in Madrid will help us to be more efficient and effective. It will be a great addition to our industry because Fjord really stands out as a provider of creative and innovative solutions.”
