About us

A traditional agency with a modern twist - ready for future communication

WHO ARE WE

We are an innovative agency with a burning passion for good communication and focus on the whole picture

AVA Corporate Communications was born in spring 2021 when we realised that the world of communication needed something new. Since then, we have grown dynamically and today we have several employed consultants and analysts, as well as a large network of senior advisors, designers and creators. Together, we have several hundred years of combined experience in communication from several different roles and perspectives in society.

We are flexible and adaptable

In a complex reality, tailored solutions are needed. We value a flexible organization that can tackle challenges as they come and offer its clients the help they need.

We trust each other

The basis of good collaboration is trust. This applies both between us and our clients, as well as among our employees. In order to effectively implement projects, trust in each other's abilities is required.

We are innovative and creative

To provide first-class service, we need to think big and new. We love challenges, but this also requires us to approach these with innovative strategies to achieve better results.
