What combined does

Combined Services Network AB is a privately held Swedish professional services firm (Org: 556856-6425) headquartered in Bohus-Björkö, Sweden, that operates as a curated network of communication specialists rather than a traditional agency with full-time staff. Its value proposition rests on assembling bespoke teams — drawing from business developers, strategists, communicators, behavioral scientists, project managers, producers, writers, and visionaries — matched to the nature of each client assignment. The named network comprises roughly eight members, with Jonas and Caroline identified as the owners (Ägare), and includes specialists in journalism/media production, cinematography, copywriting/translation, communication strategy, photography, and business development.

The firm's service portfolio spans communication strategy, event management, web development and design, podcast and audio production, film production and editing, content marketing, graphic design, branding, copywriting, business development consulting, workshop facilitation, and CRM/resource planning. There is no proprietary software platform or productized technology; the "core technology" is the specialist-matching network itself. The website (combined.one) is built on Squarespace and functions as a portfolio and contact channel rather than a transactional platform.

Combined generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements acquired via direct client relationships, primarily serving Swedish healthcare organizations (Nätverket mot cancer, Ringla.nu, Forum Spetspatient), public-sector bodies (Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner, Primärvårdskvalitet), non-profit initiatives (Fact up!, Uppdrag kunskap, Världscancerdagen), and select commercial clients (Nordstan). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct contact ([email protected]). The firm is wholly owned by its two named principals with no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; operating geographies are limited to Sweden.
