What Intellecta does

Intellecta is a Swedish change management and communications consultancy headquartered in Stockholm with a second office in Linköping, employing 50+ professionals across strategy, journalism, PR, graphic design, digital, accessibility, and facilitation disciplines. The firm offers a bundled portfolio of services — brand strategy and branding, PR and media relations, strategic direction and business development, strategic workshops, design, digital strategy and accessibility, editorial storytelling, place marketing, employer branding, media and crisis training, social media management, and campaign production — delivered as project-based consulting engagements rather than software products. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service consulting with no subscription or product components disclosed, and pricing is quote-based and negotiated per engagement.

The current Intellecta entity was formed in 2023 through the merger of Identx and Springtime-Intellecta, combining Identx's strategy and PR heritage (originally founded in 2005, which acquired PR agency Gnistra in 2013) with Springtime-Intellecta's UX, web, accessibility, and digital capabilities. Since 2018, the firm has operated as a subsidiary of Aura Group, Sweden's largest communications conglomerate, alongside nine sister agencies spanning web, film, communications, and events, which creates cross-referral and bundled-offering opportunities. The client base is roughly evenly split between public sector (government ministries, agencies, courts, municipalities) and private enterprises (automotive, energy, agriculture, recycling, housing, construction), with selected nonprofits and a startup; notable customers include Audi Sverige, Volkswagen Sverige, Skanska, HSB, Svenska kraftnät, SMHI, SCB, Digg, Returpack, Svensk Plaståtervinning, and Svenska Röda Korset.

The firm has won industry recognition including Gold at The Magnet Employer Branding Awards 2025 (with Sveriges Domstolar) and second prize at Stora Kommunikationspriset 2024 (Framtidspriset for Livsmedelsverket's 'Hacka maten' campaign). Intellecta's geographic footprint remains Sweden-only, with operations concentrated in Stockholm and Linköping, and it uses no proprietary technology platform — its competitive position is grounded in talent, four decades of brand credibility, and access to the broader Aura Group ecosystem.
