Reach you can count on

Organic reach is harder to earn than ever, which is why we guarantee it. Every campaign comes with a set number of people who will actually see it, backed by an audience that Klear, the influencer marketing platform, rates as outstanding for engagement and quality. No bought followers, no vanity metrics.

Results that surprised even the clients

When Duolingo launched in Finland, we built the campaign around the world's happiest word. The target was 10,000 downloads. It delivered over 50,000. We branded Tampere as the Sauna Capital of the World for Visit Tampere, made an employer video for Nordea that their own branding people raved about and helped the European Parliament reach audiences that EU institutions usually can't.

"We aimed for 10k downloads and got over 50K! The execution with VFP worked amazingly and the engagement was way way more than we ever expected."
Colin Watkins, Director of Marketing, Communications and Partnerships, Duolingo

The man behind the brand

Joel Willans, creator of Very Finnish Problems, with his dog Albus on a snowy Helsinki street

Very Finnish Problems is written and run by Joel Willans, author of the bestselling books 101 Very Finnish Problems and More Very Finnish Problems. In twenty years he's crafted campaigns for organisations from the European Parliament and Business Finland to Amazon Prime and L'Oreal, given keynote speeches on social media and Finnish culture and appeared in The Sunday Times, Washington Post, Bild, Cosmopolitan and countless Finnish media. When your brand borrows the VFP voice, that's whose voice it is.

"What a stellar video you made. The collaboration for the 'Working Wonders' campaign was very well received inside Nordea and received SUPER feedback."
Jan Bonnevier, Head of Marketing Finland, Nordea
