Essemm, ID no. 551283-0619 operates Lingo-Malamidlun


Essemm • Creative Boutique
Founded in 1983 as a marketing and design agency, Essemm has been contracted by a number of prestigious Icelandic and Scandinavian businesses, to develop communication strategies and deliver solutions.

In 1990 Essemm created a brand called Vistaskipti / VistaXChange which specialized in cultural and educational exchange. This endeavor expanded in 11 years from being a small Au Pair agency, to a one-stop-shop Youth Travel Company, connected with over 100 organisations and private companies in 20 countries. VistaXChange turned out to be a leading player on the Icelandic youth travel market and cultural exchange, when the operation was sold to an Icelandic travel agency in 2002.

Lingo-Malamidlun is yet another new brand, launched in 2004.
