About Me

Merja Turpeinen

Founder and Communications Consultant

I have worked in communications & PR for over 15 years. Since 2013 I’ve worked as a communications consultant in my own company and prior to this as an in-house communications director, so I’m familiar with the client and the consultant side of the business. Via SagaSocial I have planned and executed communications strategies to several tech and game companies and worked on successful global game launch campaigns for numerous Finnish game studios. I have worked as a lecturer holding lectures and workshops for start-ups about communications and PR, and how communications can help a business reach its goals with different tactics.

The best results are achieved with long term planning – building awareness and visibility requires consistent outreach.

Client references

We carried out a two-day workshop about communications and PR for game and technology companies in autumn 2017. Merja acted as a lecturer and the producer of the entity. Collaboration with Merja was easy and she is a real professional in her field. The companies that participated in the workshop provided good feedback about the two days, and 100% of the participating entrepreneurs who completed the feedback survey would recommend a similar workshop for others!

During our funding round, Merja's extensive network and pitching skills secured us significant international media coverage. Safe to say, her input had a clear monetary value to us as a startup.

Merja has been playing a key role in helping Frantic develop PR activities: supporting us to build a stronger brand, gaining relevant visibility in selected media, and supporting us in getting our expertise and experts more out there. Our collaboration has been open, proactive, efficient - and fun, Merja's good energy pushes us forward in the right way.

Merja helped Small Giant Games with media relations during its early years. Merja knows the gaming industry well, and I recommend her for similar projects.

Merja helped us during our brand-building process in the Finnish market. Veterinary industry was new to Merja but she was able to quickly familiarize herself with the field and ended up gaining wide coverage in the media on an almost monthly basis throughout the period of one and a half years. Merja is very easy and flexible to work with and I can warmly recommend her to any kind of PR projects.
