Last week, we attended the Finnish Comms Awards gala organised by Marketing Finland, where two of Ahjo’s entries were named winners in their respective categories.

Sustainability communications and societal issues:

Centre for economic development of Southwest Finland / Archipelago Sea programme: Bringing Solutions to the Surface – Communications for a Cleaner Archipelago Sea.

The jury praised the winning entry, stating: “A strong example of strategic environmental communications that has successfully transformed fragmented conservation efforts into a coherent, solution-oriented narrative. Particular praise goes to the insightful approach to challenging prevailing myths and using communications to highlight where meaningful change actually happens.”

Communications training and simulations:

Tampere Adult Education Centre: Driving Lasting Change in Leadership Communications! Training for Leaders and Supervisors to Strengthen the Brand and Strategy of Tampere Adult Education Centre.

The jury praised the winning entry, stating: “An exemplary training programme that closely aligns long-term development efforts with the organisation’s strategy and leadership culture. Built around clearly defined needs and objectives, the programme has been implemented with determination and without unnecessary gimmicks. Particularly impressive is the fact that the results are already reflected in the organisation’s employee metrics.”

A heartfelt thank you to our clients for their trust and outstanding collaboration! We would also like to thank Duran Creative and Karu Films, who helped us produce the videos showcasing our award-winning projects for the gala.
