With these investors on the board, Frame will have access to their unique expertise in everything from fintech and investments to game development and esports, and they will help FRAME strengthen its position as the leading gaming communications agency in the Nordics.

In the world of esports, Joakim "Akke" Akterhall needs no introduction. He became a legend in the Dota scene as he, along with his teammates in Alliance, won The International 2013. For those not involved in esports, a TI title can be equated to a World Cup gold in football. After "Akke" retired from competitive gaming, he began a successful career as a software engineer with a focus on game development.

Daniel and Magnus Rapp arrives most recently from ventures such as Nørdlight, Doubledragon, and Twitch Trigger Fingers. Cumulatively, the Rapp brothers have more than 20 years of experience in the industry, both as executives and as investors. The acquisition of a portion of FRAME is in-line with the duo’s overarching vision to invest in, and support, Swedish gaming.

”We are thrilled to join FRAME and look forward to further expanding the operational foundation the agency has built in such a short time. Gaming has become mainstream, but no other agency in the Nordics understands the industry like FRAME does, so for us, it was a no-brainer to join the cause and help brands communicate with the gaming audience while at the same time contributing to the culture around me and my brother’s favorite pastime,” says Magnus Rapp.
