Strategy
& analysis
METAFOR facilitates companies and organizations developing a cross media communication strategy based on a qualitative analysis of business strategic goals, values, visions and communication objectives. The strategy creates coherence between the internal and external communication and, in addition, between media and message. It’s important that there’s a line between what you want to communicate and the way it’s received by the users.

Concept
METAFOR creates strong communication concepts, developed through a creative, inspiring and focused idea generation process. METAFOR makes room for innovation and includes new forms of communication – in terms of content as well as visually. In some cases a process of developing sketches, user scenarios and prototypes supports the joint exploration and understanding. In other cases, less will do.
In cooperation with the customer, METAFOR assesses the requirements for the level of information, the learning effect, look & feel, implementation and - not least - the user experience. METAFOR creates sustainable concepts that often integrate several media and exploits each medium’s specific capabilities.
Content
METAFOR develops concepts and content for a wide range of media and purposes – from websites and print media to e-learning materials, video and presentation material. The fine line between the content, the visual communication and the interaction design is in focus, to let each media reinforce and complement the other under optium conditions.
When it comes to digital communication, METAFOR combines traditional narrative forms and ways of perceiving, communicating and learning with the interactive media tools and expressions – linguistically, visually and in terms of genre.
METAFOR edits and adjusts your company or organization’s existing content, ensuring that the language and genre fit your characteristics, appeal to the audience and create consistency with the visual expression.
