A course by Alejandro Masferrer
After studying graphic design in Seville (Spain), Alejandro Masferrer worked as a designer for BaseDesign in Madrid with clients like Reina Sofía and Casa Encendida. He later moved to Stockholm to study a master’s in design, which is where he met fellow creatives and co-founded The Pop Up Agency, a creative solutions company. This new career path led him and his team to travel the world and work with clients TBWA, Facebook, Coca-Cola, and adidas.
In 2016, he founded Triggers, a company dedicated to facilitating creative processes. Their main services are creative process workshops, and their trademark “Trigger cards” which present “what if” scenarios to help teams identify potential situations and how to approach them. Triggers has worked with clients like Ogilvy, McCann, McKenzie, Designit, Fjord, Starbucks, Ueno, Philips, Google, Lego, and more.
