I was delighted to have been able to meet with Olof Schybergson, top man at uber-agency, Fjord.
Fjord is known in the right mobile circles as being amongst the best in the business. Serious people nod in a purposeful manner when you use phrases like, “We got Fjord working on that.”
The company’s mission statement headline explains what it does rather eloquently: Fjord builds transformational digital services.
BBC iPlayer mobile? That was them. The native Flickr app on Windows Phone? Fjord. And Flirtomatic — the most successful mobile dating site bar none? Conceived and created by Fjord.
A key point is that you typically won’t find Fjord doing the actual coding. That’s not their bag. Instead they focus on strategy, thought, creativity and delivery.

I really enjoyed this video. Probably more because Fjord is more along my lines of thinking/working than much else in mobile.

Its not development or analysis for the sake of it, but more holistic.
Nice job on this Ewan.
You are very kind Antoine!
