What Eidra does

Eidra is a privately held consultancy collective headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, operating across consulting, creativity, engineering, and data to help enterprise leaders drive strategic change. Founded in 2019 as ARC Arise Consulting (rebranded May 2024) with backing from Altor Equity Partners, the group has grown to approximately 1,400 employees organized across 30+ specialist subsidiaries serving 800+ client engagements. Subsidiaries span Eidra Consulting (strategy), Kurppa Hosk (branding), Curamando (commerce and AI), Fabrique (digital design), Q42 (digital products), Punchkick (US digital product), Mission Anew (sustainability), and others, with 75% of engagements involving cross-company collaboration orchestrated by a single client lead.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services — project-based management consulting, brand strategy, digital product development, conversion optimization, sustainability advisory, and AI implementation engagements — delivered through embedded teams working alongside client personnel. Pricing is quote-based and determined by project scope and team composition. Technology offerings include the Etals AI-powered SaaS platform (minority investment) for content automation, the proprietary Bloodline AI qualification layer for B2B lead generation, and internal AI integration across disciplines. The firm reported FY 2024 revenue of 1,605 MSEK with a 13% EBITDA margin.

Eidra operates across 14 offices in Sweden (Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg), Norway (Oslo, Drammen), the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam), the UK (London), the US (New York, Chicago), and DACH (Bern, Cologne, Hamburg, Munich, Zurich). The leadership team operates under a co-CEO model: Mattias Olofsson (corporate strategy and M&A, founder of Curamando) and Måns Jacobsson Hosk (brand and commercial strategy, founder of Kurppa Hosk). Client concentrations span automotive (Polestar, Scania, BMW, International), consumer brands (Nike, IKEA, Husqvarna, Bang & Olufsen), technology (Meta, Google, HubSpot, Mojang), and cultural institutions (Rijksmuseum, US Soccer).
