Guldägget 2023

Guldägget is Sweden's largest and oldest competition in creative communication. Each year, the Swedish Communications Agencies (KOMM) brings together the country's advertising agencies for an evening of awards, celebration and networking. Prizes are awarded in categories including Activation, Advertising and Digital.

In 2023, we were again entrusted by Eventum to deliver design and a technical solution for the gala at Stockholm Waterfront.

Our solution was a V-shaped stage clad in carpentry with a back wall of high-resolution LED screen. Above and to the sides of the LED screens, we extended the design with our Edgetron fixtures – both as straight lines and as free-floating squares.

Above the stage, we supplemented the venue's projection surfaces with two new surfaces in the centre, below which we added a lighting rig with fixtures from SGM and Clay Paky.

We also delivered a camera setup with studio cameras, Steadicam and a crane camera, plus an audio solution for the gala and the live performance with Zikai.
