Complementary expertise will further strengthen ARC

Oceans was launched in 2022 as a merger of advertising agencies Los & Co, Los & Co Drammen and Aleksander Reklamebyrå, the consulting and growth company Tba, the design agency Neue, and the technology company Modulær. Their complementary expertise will further strengthen ARC Arise Consulting's service offering.

Måns Hosk, co-CEO of ARC Arise Consulting, stated the following after the transaction was completed:

Oceans in Norway is an exceptionally good match because, like us, they have built a collective of consulting companies working together to create greater value for their customers and better development opportunities for their employees. Additionally, we share values and levels of ambition. Together with our existing ARC companies in Norway and Sweden, we now have a Nordic platform that creates even better conditions for driving positive change for customers, employees, and the planet.

Congratulations to all involved. Our core team has consisted of Per Dagslet and Asgeir Lehman.
