    Blank Mubito
    Creative Director
    Malmö, Sweden
    November 2008 - April 2009
    Mubito filed for bankrupcy in April
    Mubito offered a unique direct-to-consumer platform for the music and entertainment industry.
    I had an overall responsibility for all creative work. I was also guiding and managing the creative team (both front-end coders and designers, around 10-15 persons) and I was responsible for developing the Mubito brand.
  • "I had the pleasure to work with Anton on both a general and a project basis. Anton has a great knack of understanding not only the principles of design, but more importantly the user or commercial needs driving a particular creative challenge. We worked on numerous new media design and communication related projects together.

    Anton has a strong hands-on grasp of new media space and understands the implications of social networking and the new world of communication better than any creative I've met. I learn about a lot of new tools and apps from Anton.

    Personally, Anton is an intelligent, easy-going guy who's fun to work with. There's always time to discuss something interesting."

    Andrew Martyn, Founder, Mubito
  • "Anton is an excellent creative director combining efficiency with great openness and energy. We worked together in challenging conditions and achieved strong, tangible results. Anton is also a delight to spend time with and I consider him a friend as well as a valuable colleague."

    Blank Bates Y&R
    Senior Art Director

    Clients: Chrysler, Dodge, Danske Spil, DSB, Mercedes-Benz and Post Danmark
  • "I think very highly of Anton. He understands (or writes) a concept beyond on- and offline level and is capable of transforming it into eyecatching, sometimes thougthful digital communication. He understands the people-side of the net and is able to work with it - which is quite rare in the ad-busines. On top of all that he has a really nice kind of non-swedish underplayed humour."

    Søren Nohr, Partner, copywriter and creative chief, Bates Y&R
  • "Anton is a very talented creator and also a person that I have enjoyed working with immensely. A definitive strength of his is that his creative solutions are also valid from a commercial point-of-view without losing creative edge.

    Working with Anton means that, as a Project Manager, you can always be sure that you will be able to deliver to the client with quality and on time."
