We help ambitious clients create improvement and innovation through new products, new services, new brands and new ways of doing business. Our work makes people happier and your business more profitable. We work towards a connected future and with social businesses.
Goodmorning Technology was founded in 2003 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Goodmorning Technology is led by the three owners, Lars Thomsen, Nille Halding & Mads Kjøller Damkjær.
We are a multi-disciplinary bunch of people and our designers, architects, thinkers, social anthropologists, strategists and business people help to create strategic practices in insight, business, technology and design. Besides our teams in Copenhagen, we are working with a huge global network to solve projects around the globe. We apply the same energy and creativity whether intended for rural Ghana or downtown Manhattan.
Goodmorning Technology is international recognized and has earned a reputation for delivering world class design and innovation. In addition Goodmorning Technology has established the following spin off companies; Copenhagen Parts, Custom Bike Stand and Future fwd.
Our experience and solid methods in both strategy, user driven design and customer research enables us to seamlessly integrate our research activities into design and innovation processes.
We have a need to translate your needs into astonishing creative ideas. Our output covers user insights, marketing strategies and design of every kind, from ideas to production. Always created by people with very different backgrounds and deep insight in their fields.
In a connected future, the social business listens, evolves, builds and operates profitably for the benefit of the staff, clients, partners and society. Our vision is to be a crucial part of a bigger change in the society and the business and to co-create the movements that change the world. We want to be the one you go to for crucial innovation and game change.
Philosophy
We’ve found a pretty good way of making design and innovation that works: we invent solutions that people use and experiences that people remember. Therefore, it works.
All of our creative output is tied to our insights and solid strategic planning. Because of that, everyone at Goodmorning Technology, whatever their role, works together. That also means you, if you are one of our clients.
Our role is to create with a holistic approach and merge different fields and elements such as habits, society, business, technology, people and culture to give new answers for the new questions of tomorrow. All in all, a work- and think-sphere for greater solutions of change, innovation and growth.
Vision
We create brand driven innovation for real people and build valuable connections for ambitious clients.
Focus areas
We are decidedly non-spezialized in market sectores. Many clients comes to us for that reason alone, to get fresh perspectives on their brands and markets. Instead we have two main focus areas:
We help start-ups and spin-offs with insight and targeting; designing the business model; identity; portfolio strategy; brand-creation; product design and development; packaging strategy, web sites and launching the game changing brand.
We also help larger organizations innovate through established strategic engagements. Retainer-based collaborations focused on consumer and market strategy, brand-building, packaging strategy, product development, visual identity and graphic communication, ensuring that the work is efficiently implemented in the corporate culture and in the market.
Capabilities
Research & Insight
We are experts in the change of user behaviour that is facing businesses and organizations. People do not follow a linear process, but on the contrary they connect in a semi-chaotic, circular process. With a merge of human science, analytical methods and consumer insight, we investigate the patterns and observe the daily life of real people.
The strategy is focused on developing a point of view that informs all work on an account and every effort entails a strategic component. Our strategies has led to sharp turns in strategy or dramatic internal reorganizations for some of our clients. For others, efforts have focused on incremental change. We always emphasize long-term problem solving over short-term solutions. From high-level brand strategy to consumer profiling, from marketplace analysis to technology assessment, from design strategy to communications planning, our strategic efforts are comprehensive and action-oriented.
Our design teams are high experienced designers, architects and developers. We have a long history of track proven and high profiled design within product innovation, packaging design, graphic design, service design and digital implementation.
Office culture
We work in an open office, which fosters a healthy and open dialogue.
We support our employees to work smart, be happy and enjoy their work lives.
We don´t do free pitches, but we do want to help you getting started.
We see you as a partner and not as a buyer.
