Steen Agency Wins Gold at The Publishing Prize and Silver at Swedish Design Awards

Hammarö, Sweden — November 6, 2025 – Steen Agency continues its award-winning momentum this season with major recognition for two of its documentary-driven brand films. The Swedish B2B storytelling agency has won Gold at Publishingpriset 2025 for the Microsoft-backed film Hibo’s Coded Dreams, followed by Silver at the Swedish Design Awards for Lovisa’s Voice. The latter is now also nominated at the International Content Marketing Association Awards (CMA).

The awards highlight Steen Agency’s signature approach: emotionally grounded, cinematic storytelling rooted in real human experiences — a contrast to the conventional B2B communication that often dominates the category.

A Growing Recognition for Human-Driven B2B Storytelling

Hibo’s Coded Dreams, produced for Microsoft in collaboration with Kodcentrum, was awarded Gold with the jury’s motivation:

“For an authentic film with lighting that creates engagement and atmosphere.”

Lovisa’s Voice, created for Microsoft and The Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund, earned Silver in the Swedish Design Awards and continues to gain international attention for its emotional depth and measurable impact across social channels, events, and brand platforms.

Lars-Petter Steen, Founder and Business Director at Steen Agency, comments:

“For a small team like ours, these recognitions mean the world. We set out to make B2B communication human, cinematic, and truly impactful — and it’s incredibly rewarding to see that ambition resonate with both audiences and juries.”

Setting Sights on The CMA Awards

Following its Swedish wins, Lovisa’s Voice is now nominated at the Content Marketing Association Awards in the UK — one of the most respected international competitions in the industry.

Steen adds:

“Being recognised internationally is a milestone for us. It proves that Nordic human-centric storytelling can compete on a global stage.”
