Together we will develop new strategic tools and processes together with the existing creative and technical teams.<\/p>\n<p>Rasmus comments: \u201cI collaborated with Perfect Fools during my time at Hyper Island and felt the team was bold yet understands how to deliver solutions for business problems using technology. I love non-linear thinking and when there\u2019s friction, there is dynamics, and with that comes greats ideas, services or products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them that I\u2019m a creative strategist - kre-teg in Swedish. I combine that beautiful madness, which is the Hyper Island in me, with the more operational and strategic side which was enhanced by my time at OMD working with media and communications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ann Ysten, our CEO, adds: \u201cPerfect Fools has a set-up where we work with a creative, tech and strategic lead to solve our clients\u00b4 business and communication challenges. Rasmus brings valuable knowledge both from the digital and media world, which is timely given that more clients look to us for their overall communication strategy. Rasmus fits well into the Perfect Fools culture of talented and ambitious creative thinkers with a makers mentality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re delighted to announce that Rasmus Bjurstr\u00f6m will be joining this August to bolster our creative and strategic offering.\u00a0Bjurstr\u00f6m joins us from OMD Sweden where he was Creative Director; presiding over brands like PepsiCo, Orkla, Disney, Carlsberg, Asics and McDonalds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":913,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perfectfools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
