PR Communications Consultant, Helsinki (graduate) Based in Helsinki, Finland, we are a communications and public relations consultancy that operates in the grey area between communications and advertising. We challenge traditional communications methods by using non-paid channels and tools such as word of mouth, social media and influencer marketing. The fastest growing communications consultancy in Finland, we work with some of Finland's largest companies and the most prestigious global brands. We serves 50% of the top 30 companies in Finland. We are offering a truly exceptional opportunity for a graduate (ideally with some intern experience working for a UK media/communications agency) to work for a pioneering, internationally operating and well funded communications agency which has extremely good growth potential. We operate at the cutting edge of the changing media landscape and challenges the traditional way of doing business in marketing and communications. We are interested in creatively driven individuals whom are well versed in online social media and would be interested in the challenge of furthering our international growth. The successful candidate will work alongside the CEO in our Helsinki office. History: Founded in 2001, The client is an independent Finnish communications consultancy that currently employs 40 communications professionals. International Activities: We operate in Finland and internationally through our partner network, working with a global network of agencies in the Nordic Countries, Central Europe and Asia.   We focus on designing, planning and executing communications projects for clients across all areas including corporate communications, marketing PR, public affairs and digital- and media communications services. We divide the communications field into paid, owned and non-paid communications channels. Paid communications channels refer to traditional advertising, whereas own channels include a company’s personnel, website or internal publications. Examples of non-paid channels are word-of-mouth, social media, opinion leaders, and media influencers.   Non-paid communications: In planning communications projects, We focus on the efficient use of the non-paid channels mentioned above. We communicate the client’s news through the channels in which different target groups meet and communicate, for example via internet communities, text messaging, seminars, relevant media, opinion leaders and events. Today many companies still spend the majority of their marketing budgets on traditional paid advertising. This means that non-paid channels and the companies’ own communications channels are not effectively harnessed. Integrating own and non-paid channels into the company’s marketing approach results in a communications package that is more interesting, diverse,  and closer to the consumer. We operate in various areas of communications by consulting on strategic communications planning; handling day-to-day press relations and organizing targeted events for consumers and interest groups. We strive to employ companies’ own and nonpaid communications channels at all levels.
