Determined to create forward-thinking solutions.
Our Inspiration
The scientist and explorer Fridtjof Nansen was no stranger to ambitious pursuits. In 1887, he set his sights on crossing the icy terrain of Greenland. None before him had succeeded, so Fridtjof took a different, counterintuitive approach: to start from the hazardous east and head west towards a populated port. It was no longer a course into the unknown, but a journey where the only option was forward.
We are named after Fridtjof Nansen, the game-changing explorer. He believed the best way forward is through improving what may already be taken for granted. Like him, we approach challenges with a sense of adventure, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
We're a determined team of explorers who strive to create forward-thinking solutions. Every challenge we face is a journey together.Joe Grause

High Client Retention
There’s nothing more satisfying than helping a client succeed, then taking on the next challenge together. Most of our clients are with us for 5 years or more.
Cross-functional Teams
While the depth of expertise is great, many of us have had the opportunity to work across the digital spectrum. This creates high awareness cross-departmentally, and it impacts the client holistically.
A Long Tenure Together
Most of us have been together for nearly a decade. That means we operate with very little friction and high efficiency. This avoids confusion–massively important in tech–and enables ideation.
