Hej: New office for strategy and design
Janine Widler and Helm Pfohl have been working together as a creative duo for almost ten years. Last summer, they founded their own agency, Hej Creative.
Hej Creative - that's Janine Widler and Helm Pfohl. The communications consultant and cultural manager and the graduate designer met almost ten years ago at the Zurich brand agency Eclat, where they were both most recently members of the business and creative management teams. Now they have founded their own office. "Our ambition is to be one of the most creative and driven design offices in Europe," says Helm Pfohl. "Performance metrics for us are: the quality of collaboration, commitment, and efficient and cost-effective implementation."
"The chemistry was right from the start," says Janine Widler, describing the collaboration. "Professionally, we complement each other, while sharing the same values, attitude and passion for our work. Most importantly, though, we're looking in the same direction."
Vertical start with colorful portfolio
Hej Creative started with a diverse portfolio of clients from culture and business. Currently we work for, among others: Swiss Tennis, Bistro Franzos, Viviane Chassot, Cedac Assessment Consulting, Nana Fink Jewelry Design, Theater Winterthur, Swiss Photo Design Education. The complete client list and insights into Hej's work can be found at here. Hej offers many years of experience in brand design. Among their Competencies the agency counts strategic communication , design and implementation of corporate designs, annual reporting , creative management and project management or design analysis and workshops.
Larger premises in summer
Less than a year has passed since the company was founded, and already a first expansion step is imminent: in the summer, Hej Creative will move into new premises with space for more team members, in a former horse stable on Gasometerstrasse in Zurich's Kreis 5.
