Infomedia opens an office in Helsinki

Media intelligence company Infomedia is expanding its Nordic operations with the establishment of an office in Finland and has just hired a Country Manager in Helsinki. This is part of a growth strategy and an increasing demand for a complete Nordic provider of media monitoring and insights from the company's largest Nordic customers.

Serving the largest companies in the Nordics with media monitoring of themselves and their surroundings often requires a complete Nordic product delivery with royalty agreements for news reproduction for customers with all the major media. A growth strategy and increasing demand mean that Infomedia is now expanding its activities in the Nordic region by opening an office in Helsinki.

– “We’re seeing more and more people realizing the benefits of using both editorial and social media to inform themselves, to get a better overview and strategic insights through media data. It’s not just about insights into what the press is writing about your company but also about the world around you, including competitors, major agendas, and much more – and from an international perspective. Media monitoring and insights have become a strategic tool more departments use than just PR and Communications. We are experiencing an increasing demand from larger Nordic companies and organizations. We look forward to growing our business further with the establishment in the Finnish market. At the same time, it meets our largest Nordic customers’ desire to gather all their deliveries of media monitoring and insights to one supplier, says Infomedia’s Group CEO Thomas Vejlemand.

“Media intelligence and understanding the surrounding world is more important than ever. Brands, organizations, and all of us face complex phenomena in an increasingly fast-paced media landscape. With Infomedia’s vast experience, strong media deals, and technology, I’m looking forward to creating value for our customers,” says Jaakko Haarala.

Infomedia is owned by the Danish media groups JP/Politikens Hus and Berlingske Media and is a leading Nordic player in media intelligence, which includes media monitoring, media analytics and insights, and digital platforms for monitoring and managing social media.

– I’m delighted to have hired Jaakko Haarala as our new Country Manager in Finland. Jaakko brings good energy, industry experience, and strong competencies in business development and sales, concludes Thomas Vejlemand
