Branding for companies in Stockholm
Lima Brands is a strategic branding studio that builds brands for Stockholm companies remotely, from strategy to the final identity. In a city that produced global names such as Spotify and Klarna, startups know that a brand is part of how you scale.
Selected work
Stockholm is startups, tech and design-led consumer brands, so we picked a growth-tech company, a performance agency, an AI software consultancy and a jewellery brand.
Stockholm builds global brands, and investors expect it
Stockholm has one of Europe's most successful startup scenes. Spotify and Klarna were founded here, and the games company King, behind Candy Crush, also started in the city. Founders often design their products for the world from day one, and their brands have to be ready for that from the first pitch.
Established industry is strong too. Ericsson is headquartered in the Kista area, and H&M was founded in Sweden and is based in Stockholm. Every December the Nobel Prize award ceremony takes place in the city, a reminder of its long tradition in science and innovation.
Swedish design is known for clarity and function, and customers here appreciate brands that are simple without being bland. From cafés in Södermalm and the old streets of Gamla stan to lifestyle and fashion labels, local businesses compete for attention in a market used to excellent design.
Your brand is much more than a logo. It's how your business is remembered.
Studies show that investing in differentiating and promoting your brand can increase a company's total revenue by up to 23%. Have you ever wondered how much your brand stands out in the market today?
