We revived the Carpe Diem mantra by turning the iconic tattoo into a free ticket to Gröna Lund, giving anyone who had it unlimited access to the park all summer.
BRIEF
-> Brief
INSIGHT
-> The “Carpe Diem” tattoo was one of the defining mantras of the early 2000s. A promise to seize the day. Today, that same generation, now in their 40s, has grown distant from both the tattoo and the mindset. The mantra has lost its value, the tattoos are being lasered off, and many in this group find themselves in life’s “middle-zone,” where time and joy often feel in short supply.
IDEA
-> The idea of seizing the day is exactly what Gröna Lund stands for, offering a chance to feel joy, presence and a pulse of pure now. By bringing back the Carpe Diem mantra and turning the iconic tattoo into a ticket to the park, anyone with a Carpe Diem tattoo received free admission and unlimited rides all summer.
RESULTS
-> The campaign took off instantly on social media, generating thousands of comments and more than 300,000 engagements. Very quickly, it became a national talking point, picked up both by major news outlets and some of Sweden’s biggest podcasts. At Expressen, one of the country’s largest newsrooms, it even became the third most-read story of the entire year.

The cultural ripple effects were immediate. Tattoo studios in Stockholm launched their own Carpe Diem offers, Trädgården, Sweden’s largest nightclub, hosted a full Carpe Diem night with free tattoos, and in total more than 100 new Carpe Diem tattoos were inked across the city.

The impact was felt at the park too. A total of 1,622 people arrived with Carpe Diem tattoos, contributing to a 19 percent increase in visit intention among the target group and generating over 17.5 million SEK in earned PR value.
