A heartfelt experience – rooted in Danish culture, crafted for the world
At Ugly Duckli, we believe that the best experiences are created together.
We invite companies, organisations and storytellers to partner with us in sharing Danish traditions through meaningful cultural experiences – offered all year round.
We work with authenticity, quality and creativity – and we love creating collaborations with soul and substance.
💡 Example partnerships

We offer workshops, talks and editorial content that brings people closer to the heart of Denmark. Our activities are available year-round and focus on connecting people with history, tradition and joy.
🎁 Cross- and upselling
We collaborate with brands, shops and hotels where our designs and experiences can complement other offerings – both physically and online.
📣 Storytelling & campaign content
We contribute authentic content – in English and Danish – for marketing, campaigns or editorial stories. Ugly Duckli brings warmth and tradition to your project.
