About Westander

Westander is a Stockholm-based PR agency advising businesses and organisations on strategic communication, public affairs and matters that shape public opinion and political decision-making.
We help clients strengthen their brands, build public support and engage constructively in public debate. Our work focuses on long-term influence rather than short-term visibility.
We believe that open and well-informed public debate strengthens trust and supports democratic development. Our aim is to contribute to broader participation in society by helping organisations communicate responsibly and clearly.
Westander was founded in 2000 by two brothers, Henrik and Patrik Westander – one a peace activist, the other an oil company executive. Today, we have around 30 employees with backgrounds mainly in politics, journalism, leadership, business and marketing.
For more than 25 years, we have received the highest client ratings in more surveys than any other Swedish PR agency. Over the past decade, our fee income has grown by an average of 2 per cent per year, from SEK 35 million in 2015 to SEK 44 million in 2025.
Our long-term ambition is to be one of the leading PR agencies in the Nordic region, while remaining committed to responsible communication and constructive public debate.
