NOVA establishes Rocket agency

Nova Consulting Group (NOVA) acquired the Swedish digital marketing agency Pineberry earlier this year. The IT group has now started Rocket agency, which will service the Norwegian market.

Rocket’s co-founders are former RED leader Magnus Strømnes Bøe, Vegard Rohde Garder, until recently CTO of the digital agency Synlighet, and former CRO and Experience Manager at TV2 Erik Holland Haukebø. This means that NOVA can now use its team of almost 70 digital marketing experts to create a Nordic presence within this area of expertise.

“Digital marketing logically complements our existing range of services at NOVA. For some time, we have wanted to supply this expertise to clients in Norway, and we can now do this by building a new company together with three of the leading experts in this field. Magnus, Erik and Vegard are among the very best in their disciplines and their skillset mix of SEO, CRO and advertising in search and social media is in our opinion absolutely crucial for companies’ future success,” says Geir Allan Hove, CEO of Nova Consulting Group.

“We believe our timing in starting up this agency is right. There is a strong demand in the market for specialist expertise in digital marketing due to the continuing shift towards digitization that has resulted from the pandemic. Doing this together with NOVA, which has a long track record of establishing start-up environments, and in addition is an IT organization rather than a communications one, makes a lot of sense to us. IT technical know-how is absolutely critical for success with marketing in 2021,” says Magnus Strømnes Bøe, CEO of Rocket.
