We see AI as a tool to enhance our skills in communication, creativity, and innovation—always with humans at the center. At Berghs, we don’t teach what AI does; we teach how you can use AI to drive ideas forward, solve challenges, and create lasting value. Working with AI involves both opportunities and responsibilities, which is why it’s important for us to continue exploring AI development.

Program Director

Adam Springfeldt is a former Executive Creative Director, writer, and co-founder of ACNE Creative—part of the original multidisciplinary collective ACNE and one of Sweden’s most internationally recognised creative agencies. With over two decades of experience, Adam has led global teams and shaped brand and campaign work for clients in telecom, fashion, politics, tech, and beyond. His creative leadership helped earn ACNE its reputation as a trusted partner to world-class names including Apple, Google, Nike, IKEA, Netflix, Audi, Polestar, Minecraft, H&M, Byredo, and the United Nations. Adam also served as creative and cultural lead across all 10 of ACNE’s European offices before leaving the agency world in January 2024 to go independent.
At the heart of his work is a belief that communication can—and should—do more than look good. It should mean something. Move people. Leave a mark. He’s driven by ideas that resonate—strategically, emotionally, and culturally—and by the conviction that creativity, done right, can have lasting positive impact on people and planet.
