Nina Jakonen as Korner's Account Director - See the photos!

We welcomed three new Cornish people at the beginning of the year. In May, Korner's team grew again with the addition of Nina Jakonen, who joined Korner as Account Manager. Nina will be responsible for the development of Korner's current and future client relationships, as well as providing sales support.

Nina joined Korner from Vapa Media, where she worked as Account Manager. In addition, Nina has previously worked as a communications consultant and expert. Nina has a strong background in strategic communications, workplace communications and media communications, and has extensive experience in managing larger communications and marketing initiatives in sectors such as technology, finance and food. 

Nina Jakonen is seen leaving her home for Korner's office.

At Korner, Nina was attracted to the way of doing things, the values and the culture that felt like her own.

"I've always been fascinated by challenging the norm and doing things my way. Korner is an agency known for its straightforwardness and immediacy, but also for its excellent results, so what could be better," says Nina.

Jakonen, who is known for his accuracy, is also expected to make a difference at Korner.

"Korner has had very successful projects and launches with its clients, especially in the field of media communications. I am also very impressed with Korner's great and long-lasting clients, many of whom are also aspiring to be challengers in their own field. I am excited about the talented colleagues and interesting companies I get to work with," he continues.

First the goal, then the job

Nina describes herself as a people-oriented and methodical generalist who likes to quickly change her perspective between the big picture and the details. However, we always start with a goal in mind. For Nina, one of the most interesting challenges in her own work is how best to use communication and marketing to support a company's business objectives.

"In a world where only change is permanent, it's important to always keep the desired outcome and impact in mind, because everything else is likely to change along the way. In the face of change, it's always good to stop and check if it's moving us towards our goal," says Nina.

Jakonen fits his first client meeting on the streets of Helsinki.

Nina promises to bring to Korner a forward-thinking, solution-oriented and action-oriented approach - with a good vibe, of course.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what we can come up with together with Korner people and our customers. My first few days have already shown that there is no shortage of good ideas or humour in this office," says Nina.

Welcome to Korner Nina!
