Some of Rikard’s clients & experience:
Rikard Svendsen has become a great friend of the MOBO Organisation and vice-versa because of his ‘can do’ attitude, his ability to understand our brand very quickly and specifically because of his very sound (marketing and brand) advice and guidance. I would highly recommend him.
Rikard is top class creative thinker. I have seen first hand how his ideas and his ability to see a concept through to delivery create real tangible value to his clients. I would welcome opportunities to work him again.
