The Most Creative Agencies in the Nordic
The North Alliance has consolidated its local shops under its common brand, Noa. As one result, the group tops the ranking of the most creative agencies in the Nordics for the full year 2025.
“At its core, the Noa brand is about reducing complexity and helping our clients win by creating measurable impact through combined creativity, technology, and data to drive customer-driven growth”, says Mikael Jørgensen, group CEO of The North Alliance.
“While still offering strong local specialist identities, we have strengthened Noa as a unified Nordic platform to give clients access to the best teams locally as well as Nordic scale and multidisciplinary skills when needed.”
Following recent successes, Noa has refreshed and strengthened its brand identity to reflect the evolution of Noa into a Nordic growth platform and prepare for an international journey.
“We’ve created a unified brand with a distinct identity, and we present together on stage at international events – because it’s crucial to practise what we preach”, says Mikael Jørgensen.
“We offer clients opportunities to engage through client boards and events such as Noa Day and Noa Brainfood.”
The brand development work is handled within the Noa group. Specialist branding and communications teams are behind the development of the updated Noa identity and communications that have led to increased visibility across channels and support business development. Increased demand has been seen across several sectors, notably retail, consumer goods, technology, health, finance, and industrial clients.
