CHOCOLATE CONFECTIONERY in DENMARK 07 Feb 2014 HEADLINES
CHOCOLATE CONFECTIONERY IN DENMARK 07 Feb 2014 HEADLINES In 2013 chocolate confectionery grows by 1% in current value terms to reach sales of DKK3.2 billion Both small and big players target the premiumisation trend Twist wrapped miniatures the best performer in 2013 with current value growth of 5% Unit prices rise only moderately in 2013 Toms Gruppen A/S remains the clear leader in chocolate confectionery with a value share of 32% Chocolate confectionery anticipated a constant value CAGR decline of 1% over the forecast period COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Toms Gruppen A/S remained the clear leader in chocolate confectionery in Denmark in 2013 with a value share of 32%. Toms Gruppen is a well-established domestic player which owns a wide selection of traditional and well-known brands, such as Anthon Berg, Guld Barre and Yankie. These brands have been present in the Danish market for decades and together offer a wide selection of products in all categories of chocolate confectionery. Toms Gruppen’s main focus in chocolate confectionery is on the standard mid- priced segment, but the company has announced its intention to increasingly focus on the more dynamic premium segment. It remains to be seen if this strategy will be successful. The fate of Toms’/Anthon Berg’s super-premium product range A Xoco, which closed three shops in 2013, shows that it is not always easy for an established mid-priced player to be accepted as premium by consumers. Ranked second and third in chocolate confectionery in 2013 were Kraft Foods Danmark A/S and Mars Danmark A/S.

Diez Datos Para Recordar a Marie Fredriksson, La Voz De Roxette Que Se Apaga
Diez datos para recordar a Marie Fredriksson, la voz de Roxette que se apaga El reciente fallecimiento de la cantante sueca y voz del dúo Roxette, Marie Fredriksson, impacta especialmente de lleno en la generación “sub 50” que entre 1989 y 1995 disfruta de la avalancha de hits que la banda regala al mundo. Su atractiva voz y su clásico pelo corto constituyen parte de su impronta personal, con la que colabora a la creación de verdaderos temas clásicos como “The Look”, “Joyride” y “Dangerous”, entre muchos otros. Aunque, sin duda, su mayor característica se encuentra en el valor con el que encara la lucha contra el cáncer (tumor cerebral), enfermedad con la que logra lidiar durante casi dos décadas. Su compañero de ruta en la reconocida banda pop, el multi-instrumentista Per Gessle, deja claro su afecto por la cantante y compositora en un comunicado: «No hace tanto que pasábamos días y noches en mi pequeño apartamento de Halmstad, escuchando música que nos encantaba, compartiendo sueños imposibles. ¡Y qué sueño fantástico llegamos a compartir! Gracias, Marie, gracias por todo. Fuiste una música realmente única, una cantante de un nivel que quizá no volvamos a experimentar. Pintaste mis canciones en blanco y negro con los colores más maravillosos». Como sencillo homenaje, compartimos un pequeño decálogo que permite hacerse de una idea general en torno a Fredriksson, una voz que forma parte de la banda sonora en la vida de millones de personas. 1.- El nombre completo de Marie es Gun-Marie Fredriksson y nace en la localidad sueca de Ossjo, el 30 de mayo de 1958.

Kent's Sweden, Or What a Rock Band Can Tell Us About a Nation
Kent’s Sweden, or what a rock band can tell us about a nation OLA JOHANSSON Johansson, Ola (2013). Kent’s Sweden, or what a rock band can tell us about a nation. Fennia 191: 1, pp. 40-57. Helsinki. ISSN 798-5617. The Swedish rock band Kent is not only the most popular band in Sweden, but also perceived as quintessentially Swedish. Using the notion of “everyday na- tionalism” I argue that Kent both represent and actively shape contemporary Swedish national identity co-constitutively with their audience. Three themes are particularly important to understand this Swedishness. Firstly, the band was formed in the city of Eskilstuna but relocated to Stockholm, which illustrates a Swedish journey through class and space. Secondly, Kent interrogates a series of national myths in their songs. They do so using spatial and environmental meta- phors that can be conceptualized as different landscapes − inner, urban, and winter landscapes − representing Sweden. Thirdly, Kent also construct a “public landscape” that reflects on changes in Swedish society, including neoliberal and anti-immigrant tendencies.

I feel nothing but joy and happiness when I look back ontheRoxette world tours. All our showsand memories over the years will forever be a big part of my life. I’m particularly proud and grateful for coming back in 2009 after my severe illness and to have been able to take Roxette around the globe a couple of more times. Sadly, now my touring days are over and I want to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful fans that has followed us on our long and winding journey. I look forward to the release of our album ”Good Karma” in June – for me it’s our best album ever!” Per Gessle: Who would have thought this small town band from the Swedish west coast wereto be still on the looseafter 30 years! We’ve done mind-blowing gigs all over the world that has taken us far beyond our wildest and craziest dreams. I want to thank all our fellow musicians and collaborators on and off the road. Thanks also to our beautiful fans, all of you who have listened, encouraged, waited, travelled, all of you who have shared the singing, laughter, joy and tears.

Käraste Micke med barn, Tillsammans med er sörjer vi en underbar persons hädangång, och medan ni har förlorat en hustru och en mamma har miljoner av beundrare världen över förlorat en vän och en inspirationskälla. Många av dessa kände att de hade velat prata med er, dela sina historier om Marie med er, om vad hon betydde för dem, och hur mycket hon har förändrat deras liv. Det ni håller i era händer är en samling av över 6200 berättelser, funderingar och minnen från människor ni förmodligen inte kän- ner personligen, men som Marie har gjort ett enormt intryck på. Ni kommer att hitta både sorgliga och glada inlägg förstås, men huvuddelen av dem visar faktiskt hur enormt mycket bättre världen har blivit med hjälp av er, och vår, Marie. Hon kommer att leva kvar i så många människors hjärtan, och hon kommer aldrig att glömmas. Tack för allt Marie, The Daily Roxette å tusentals beundrares vägnar. A A. Sarper Erokay from Ankara/ Türkiye: How beautiful your heart was, how beautiful your songs were. It is beyond the words to describe my sorrow, yet it was pleasant to share life on world with you in the same time frame. Many of Roxette songs inspired me through life, so many memories both sad and pleasant. May angels brighten your way through joining the universe, rest in peace. Roxette music will echo forever wihtin the hearts, world and in eternity. And you’ll be remembered! A.Frank from Germany: Liebe Marie, dein Tod hat mich zu tiefst traurig gemacht. Ich werde deine Musik immer wieder hören.

Government Earmarks SEK 1 Million for Promotion Initiatives Swedish Music, Fashion and Digital Games Are a Few Industries That Can Promote the Image of Sweden Abroad
2010 Press release 31 August 2010 Ministry for Foreign Affairs Music and fashion to put Sweden on the map - Government earmarks SEK 1 million for promotion initiatives Swedish music, fashion and digital games are a few industries that can promote the image of Sweden abroad. They are three creative industries that have a good reputation beyond our borders, and there is a great deal of interest in them. This is why the Government is now investing even more in the experience industry, especially since we have seen that activities previously conducted abroad have generated a lot of interest and received a positive response. These investments have helped to attract more tourists to Sweden and created an interest among foreign entrepreneurs in business opportunities. Our talented songwriters, designers and others involved in the experience industry abroad have helped to put Sweden on the world map. For a small country, Sweden has a strong position as an exporter of music - we are ranked fifth after other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The music business is an important part of the Swedish experience industry, which is an expanding export industry and a major growth sector. In 2009, the experience industry accounted for over 5 per cent of Sweden's GDP, and it employs 280 000 people. "We have seen that the experience industry is very important for people's image of Sweden abroad. When I'm out travelling, I often hear how people associate Sweden with Abba, Max Martin, Robyn, DICE and Odd Molly. This is why it's really important that we promote this sector, so that we can become even stronger and more talked about beyond our borders," says Minister for Trade Ewa Björling, who is responsible for promoting the image of Sweden.
