As of January 1, 2023, the digital agency Dwarf based in Frederiksberg has expanded and bought 33% of Benny Box, who since April 2022 has shared the address with Dwarf. The 69 digital enthusiasts from Dwarf, who work across the disciplines of digital design, UX, development, concept, automation, and strategy, have thus been joined by the team from Benny Box, which in addition to Esben Fisker consists of four motion designers.
And the new constellation pleases the two agencies' creative directors, who are looking forward to a significant expansion of the collaboration.
"It's really exciting to get to work even more closely with someone who thinks differently than we do," says Esben Fisker, and adds:
"Creatively and conceptually, we are very much on the same wavelength, and when we do something together, we inspire each other to do our best, and with great respect for what each of us can do."
For Creative Director at Dwarf, Kasper Møller, the collaboration with Benny Box, which originated somewhat by chance when DR hired both agencies to design and develop a game for Ramasjang, opens up completely new opportunities for future projects.
"For us, the humor and quirkiness that Benny Box is characterized by helps to take our concepts and ideas to new heights. Now we can, from the beginning, work much better together on the projects we get, and it will reinforce everything we do," says Kasper Møller, who calls the merge of the two agencies a perfect match.
Since then, there have been a number of digital and creative projects, including games, concept development and design, for different customers, which Dwarf and Benny Box have lifted together.
Dwarf, which has existed since 2000, has in the past year expanded the business, both in double office size and the number of employees, and has now also welcomed Benny Box into the family. And the ambitions for the close collaboration between Dwarf and Benny Box only point in one direction, if you ask the CEO at Dwarf, Lars Berntsen.
"The collaboration has great growth potential. Our cultures, synergies, and competencies go hand in hand with what the market demands. We've been searching for a partner to bring motion and film to Dwarf's work, for which Benny Box is a perfect match. One of our values at the agency is that we have fun, and Benny Box also fits really well into that box," says Lars Berntsen, who expects a lot from the collaboration.
For the two agencies, 2023 offers even more exciting projects where the creative forces of design, motion, gameplay design, and digital experiences unite.
