Finland aims to be a global leader in technology and know-how. Success is built on the internationalization of growth companies. To help do this, UP delivers an international community of experts to help companies develop their brand, find customers, and create effective tools and content to help communicate often complex issues.

Looking for international growth?

Our clients develop and market high involvement products, services and ideas. These are often complex to communicate, have long sales cycles, with multiple decision makers and can be costly investments for your customers. 

On top of that you are looking to expand your business globally. 

That’s a lot to think about!

We help you answer the key questions you are asking yourself. For example:

  • Can we achieve global results with smaller budgets?
  • What does thought leadership look like for us?
  • Who is our customer and what is their buying journey?
  • Are our inbound marketing efforts working for us?
  • How do we become truly customer focused?
  • How should we combine compelling content and technology to improve lead generation and nurturing?
  • How do we ensure marketing and sales are working in harmony?
  • Can we build a strong virtual community?
  • Where do we find a marketing partner that understands our business?

 Obviously, we are slightly biased when answering the last question!
