We are an independent advertising agency creating ideas that spread far beyond bought media space into the everyday lives of our audience. Acne Advertising was formerly known as Acne Creative. In a sense, we are the original Acne, which was founded in 1996 as an advertising and design agency. In mid-2008, we decided to divide Acne Creative into design agency Acne Art Department and advertising agency Acne Advertising.
Acne Advertising is a member of the multi-disciplinary collective Acne where companies and brands such as Acne Art Department, Acne Digital, Acne Film, Acne Jr, Acne Paper and Acne Studios all share a building in Gamla Stan, Stockholm.
