Copenhagen Dome – Videnscenter for Socialøkonomi is Denmarks' new knowledge centre focusing on social economy. We at mettethorsen.com contributed to strengthening the business focus of the organisation. Among other things we delivered business, communication and fundraising strategies, corporate branding and helped integrate the organisation's selected UN Global Goals into strategies and practices. We also produced a communication kit for the newly established Centre: Website, fact sheet, profile brochure, postcards and leaflets.

From beginning to end, our responsibilities included management, analysis, development and execution of strategies in business and organisational development, communications, fundraising, design and visual storytelling about the selected UN Global Goals. All activities took place in close cooperation with the customer.
