Rickard Villard, Executive Creative Director, Lowe Brindfors, Stockholm.
(8 weeks course Concept Development)
Rickard Villard has worked ten years within the global Lowe network, the last two years as the Executive Creative Director of Lowe Brindfors, in Stockholm.
Before adverstising Rickard had a quite ordinary life as a banker. But on a bike ride 12 years ago, a collision with a rampage bus resulted in a serious concussion and a significant career move.
That career move has hopefully not only made Rickard a happier human being but also benefited many brands – including Electrolux, Saab, BMW, Mini, Nintendo, Stella Artois, Unilever, Magnum, Sharp, and Save the Children, to name a few.
Rickard has shared a lot of prestigious awards with these brands - Cannes Lions, One Show, Epica, Eurobest, Cresta, and New York Festivals are some of the best renowned.
After a very productive decade at Lowe, Rickard has decided to scratch an entrepreneurial itch that has been following him since he had his own advertising agency, Sugarhill, while he was studying at Berghs. So after summer he will quit his job as ECD of Lowe and share his knowledge and experience with the Berghs Creative Certificate students over a period of 8 weeks, packed with creative inspiration and tools.
Rickard’s point of view.
"There is a new and very exciting world out there and not knowing exactly what will happen next makes it even more interesting. Nobody wants to pollute the world with more crappy advertising, so we need to have good intentions with everything we do and it has to add something beautiful and meaningful to the world. There is so much unleashed potential in people, brands and in society and it is time to set it free".
