The most influential and inspiring creative people

Last week Ad Age and  Creativity listed the 50 most inspiring and influential creative people of 2009. The list includes advertising and marketing proffesionals as well as entrepreneurs, designers, pioneers and other people who “challenged the established way of doing things and inspired with their action“.  The exciting part is that 6 of them, or 12%, are Swedish – impressive and inspiring!

The listed Swedes are:

Filip Nilsson, creative director at Forsman & Bodenfors

Karin Dreijer aka Fever Ray, Musical artist

Andreas Dahlqvist, creative director at DDB

Daniel Ek, founder of Spotify

Linus Karlsson, founder of Mother, New York

Paul Malmström, founder of Mother, New York

Congratulations and thank you!
