Fremje

What Fremje does

Fremje AS is a Norwegian strategy, communications, and political advisory firm founded in 2021 by Karoline Sj\u00f8en Andersen, a former political advisor to the Oil and Energy Minister. The company positions itself as a bridge between academia, business, and government authorities, with a stated focus on helping enterprises navigate political processes, influence regulatory outcomes, and communicate during the green transition. Headquartered in Haugesund with a Mid-Norway office in Trondheim, Fremje serves enterprise and mid-market clients primarily in the energy, maritime, and green industry sectors of the Haugalandet region, including Hydro Karm\u00f8y, Aibel, Eramet Sauda, Source Galileo Norge, DeepOcean, SEAM, and Haugaland Næringspark.

The firm's product portfolio blends bespoke professional services with packaged subscription offerings. Core services include strategic and political advisory, communication (crisis, media, social, EU/international), and project management, delivered under long-term framework agreements. Recurring subscription products include Posisjonskompass ('Framtidskompass'), a tiered sustainability and political process strategy package priced at kr 75,000-150,000 per month, and 'Posisjonsradar,' a monthly political and media monitoring product priced at kr 9,500-15,000 per month with an urgent-alerts add-on. The firm also sells one-time digital courses on political influence, media handling, and parliamentary analysis (kr 5,000-20,000 each). No proprietary software platform or API is disclosed; technology differentiation is built around analyst-curated monthly deliverables and configurability of subscription packages.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales rooted in the Haugalandet region, supplemented by referral partnerships with Validé Haugesundregionen (startups), Maritimt Forum (160+ maritime members), Næringsforeningen Haugalandet, and Agenda Vestlandet, plus thought-leadership events ('Tidlig p\u00e5 an med Fremje') supported by Norges Forskningsr\u00e5d. Revenue mechanics combine long-term consulting frameworks, recurring subscriptions, and transactional course fees. The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, and operates with a core team of approximately 6-8 advisors plus rotating interns.

Broad incumbents

• Kreab: Global public affairs and communications consultancy with strong Nordic presence. Competes for the same large enterprise political-advisory mandates but offers a much wider geographic and service footprint.
• Hill+Knowlton Norway: Global communications consultancy with Norwegian operations offering public affairs, sustainability, and strategic communications. Competes for the same enterprise clients as Fremje but with broader international reach.
• Burson (formerly Burson-Marsteller): Global communications and public affairs firm with Norwegian operations. Provides comparable corporate communications, crisis communications, and policy advisory services to large multinational clients.

Direct peers

• Menon Economics: Norwegian research and consulting firm with strong green-transition and energy practice. Comparable to Fremje in serving Norwegian energy and maritime clients with research-driven strategic advisory.
• Geelmuyden Kiese: Norwegian PR and communications firm with strong political advisory and public affairs capabilities. Competes for similar enterprise clients in Oslo-adjacent markets but covers a wider service portfolio than Fremje.
• First House: Norway's leading political advisory and communications consultancy. Directly comparable to Fremje in offering strategic political advisory, media handling, and stakeholder engagement to Norwegian enterprises, but operates at significantly larger scale.
• Rud Pedersen Public Affairs: Nordic public affairs firm with offices across Scandinavia offering strategic political advisory, government relations, and sustainability communications. Directly comparable to Fremje's energy and green-transition advisory practice.

Emerging players

• Adentity: Norwegian strategic communications and public affairs firm with expertise in sustainability and political positioning. Comparable to Fremje in scope but smaller and more Scandinavia-focused than the global incumbents.
