Iceland ExpressThis cheeky upstart low-fare airline started operating in 2004 and now flies to Iceland from about 18 cities in Europe.
We write, produce and direct the Iceland Express newsletter in English (and designed the template for the one in Icelandic). We manage their rather fun blog about Iceland in English. And we also make sure they make friends and influence people on Twitter and Facebook.
We might also mention that as an employee of Iceland Express, Takk Takk's founder directed the architecture, content and design of their complex of websites (including a bit of the booking system), newsletters, transactional email, and the rather fun blog about Iceland we mentioned earlier. The whole thing has won awards as the best Icelandic ecommerce site and, believe it or not, the world's best low-cost airline website.

Vín og maturVín og matur (Wine and Food) is a small, family-owned importer of fine wine and food. It was founded in 2004 by a young, smart and disturbingly attractive couple who on moving back to Iceland after several years in Tuscany and Boston found their home country somewhat lacking in the wine and food department.
From the beginning, Takk Takk has helped Vín og matur make friends and influence people on the Internet. Their website, designed by us back in the days, has always been central to their business, and their newsletter, now in its fifth year, even more so. Back in 2004 we helped them become one of the first companies to start a blog. They also use Flickr and YouTube regularly and are now starting to focus on Facebook. All of which is only natural since their business lends itself perfectly to the kind of transparent, social nature of the web.

Express ferðirExpress ferðir is a travel agency owned by Iceland Express. For them, Takk Takk manages a robust and well-performing little email newsletter in Icelandic that we send out once or twice a month.
Sterling AirlinesSterling is was one of Scandinavia's biggest low-fare airlines, carrying about 3m passengers a year. In 2007 it got the award for the best travel website in Denmark.
As an employee of Sterling, the director of Takk takk was responsible for User Experience, which is a fancy way of saying that he tried to make the site better. He also managed their biweekly email newsletter, sent to almost one million subscribers in four languages.
This Icelandic think tank needed to upgrade its rusty old email newsletter so we designed a new template for them. We also helped them set up some simple tools to write and send the newsletter by themselves without having to bother us every time. (We were feeling very busy and important at the time.)
Back in the stone age (circa 1997) we, in an earlier incarnation, set up a primitive text-only email newsletter for the Iceland Symphony Orchestra (which, by the way, is not the name of an indie rock band but an actual orchestra). We also did what we thought was a pretty nice website for them. (And yes, we realise this was a long time ago. Indulge us.)
We want to work for you. And as luck would have it, we are available for work from 1 July 2010.
So get in touch with us. We don't bite.
