  • Meet Cyan (@cyanchy), one of our students from Hong Kong. Below she shares her thoughts on the Advanced Advertising Program:

Can you share a little bit about your background and why you applied for the Advanced Program?
I’ve been in the ad industry in Hong Kong for a while and felt it was time to refresh myself and get inspired again. I applied to Berghs to see how creativity works in a different culture and to understand the Swedish way of thinking a bit more deeply.

▪️What’s been the most valuable thing you’ve learned so far at Berghs?
Berghs gives us a safe, creative space, but also pushes us to think ahead about AI, sustainability, and the impact of our work. It’s taught me to think beyond “just an ad” and grow into a more conscious creative.

▪️How does studying communication in Sweden differ from studying in your country of origin?
In Hong Kong, everything is fast and execution-focused. In Sweden, people really value creativity as a way to shape a better world, and there’s more space to question, reflect, and discuss values and impact.

▪️What’s something you wish you’d known before starting at Berghs?
I wish I’d researched the Stockholm agency scene more, so I could have prepared better for internships, networking, and finding my place in the industry here.

▪️How has your confidence changed since you started?
Berghs has made me a more well-rounded creative with a clearer “big picture”. Now I feel like I can think a bit further ahead than before, and that’s a quiet kind of confidence I got from Berghs.
  • From all of us at Berghs, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! 🎄

  • Below @joelbeergman shares his thoughts on Berghs Bachelor Program:

▪️What were you doing before coming to Berghs?
Before attending the bachelor course at Berghs, I explored several creative paths. Most relevantly, I worked as a Creative Lead at a start-up company. Because it was a small and fast-moving environment, I was involved in a wide range of tasks, including social media strategy, email marketing, art direction and content creation. This hands-on experience gave me a strong understanding of the creative process from concept to execution and inspired me to pursue a career in the creative industries.

▪️How has your creative process or mindset evolved since you started?
Since starting at Berghs, I have developed a much more structured and strategic approach to creativity. I have learned how to translate ideas into strong visual concepts and how to build narratives that connect design with communication goals. I have also gained a deeper understanding of visual principles, composition and storytelling, which has made my creative process both more confident and more intentional.

▪️What’s a moment or project that made you feel proud of what you can do?
I am particularly proud of my visual identity project for Absolut, which I feel is coming together very well. It has allowed me to apply my creative thinking to a real-world brand and to experiment with how design can strengthen brand identity and emotional connection. Seeing the concept evolve into a cohesive visual system has been incredibly rewarding.

▪️Which partner school have you chosen and why?
I have chosen to study Advertising and Brand Design at @ravensbourneuk (Ravensbourne University London). The course aligns perfectly with my ambition to work within brand strategy and visual communication. I am also drawn to London’s vibrant creative scene and see it as the ideal environment to grow as a designer and creative thinker. My cousin studied at Ravensbourne through the Berghs Bachelor programme, which made the decision feel both natural and inspiring.
