Good Old: Engineerin’ happiness

I’m currently employed as a Web ninja at Good Old. Good Old is a strategic web agency in Malmö, Sweden. As a strategic web agency, we help companies with their web dealings: how should one use the internet? Do you use the medium’s strength and actually talk to your customers? Do you cut through the noise? If not – what should you do instead?

Good Old does everything from strategy to production and inbetween. My main focus is making sure that the customers we’ve finished developing for are happy and up and running. I’m also responsible for planning our production and even develop sites every now and then.

To do this I use a great deal of everything I know and love: my people- and communication skills, my more specific craft skills within web development, graphic design and photography, as well as my strategic knowledge to give relatively sound advice. It’s cliché, I know… but every day present new challenges. And I wouldn’t want anything else.

Automattic, the company behind Wordpress, call their support people Happiness Engineers. There’s really no better description for it.
