The launch of Bolabbet

Douglas L — Mon, 30 May 2011 12:48:06 +0000

We recently launched the campaign Bolabbet in collaboration with the PR agency Springtime. The campaign is for JM, one of the nordic region’s leading developers of housing and residential areas.

The agenda for the campaign is to create PR around JM and their focus on young people as a business segment. They have an undergoing project called “Studio” whose goal is to develop and build apartments especially designed for young people. A part of this project is letting three young adults live in a JM apartment during 3 months to get input on what is important for this segment. The three people living in the apartment will continuously blog about the life in the apartment and their thoughts, problems and challenges thus allowing JM to learn from them.

In this project Populate were responsible for the branding, design and development. Springtime’s responsibilities included PR, strategy and concept.

Check our the website or check out Bolabbet on facebook.

Nordic Edge

Fredrik W — Thu, 26 May 2011 08:07:32 +0000

Nordic Edge is a Swedish security company within the field of identity and access management.

They just launched their new website which we helped them design and build. The project also involved looking over things web strategy related issues such as 301 redirects to avoid duplicate content in Google and how to utilize domain names when translating the site.

The site is built on top of WordPress Multi Site and provides a good balance between usability and customization. Since the people at Nordic Edge posses great technical know-how, it was important that the choice of platform still allowed them to do their own customizations, which was perceived as hard with the previous publishing platform.
