What is Höyrymedia?
"Höyrymedia has the strongest team in the industry: influencers handle the production but don't appear in the videos themselves. That way you don't pay influencer marketing prices, but you still get influencer expertise."
Masters of short-form video
Höyrymedia was born out of three friends' passion for creating something cool together. We started out making produced brand videos and photography, but as social media evolved, we focused on short-form video, which had the biggest viral potential.
Today the team has grown enormously and is focused on producing the best short-form video in Finland. 80% of our business now revolves around short-form video, with brand videos and photography playing a smaller role. That means we can handle all of your company's video and photo communications. We already have almost 30 ongoing clients.
Client insight and business results come first
We want to understand your business so we can help you in the best possible way. Many industries face similar commercial challenges. No business ever has too many sales, too many good job applicants or too much visibility, and that's exactly where we can help.
We help you see the positive and growing role video plays in business. We're the trend spotters who tell you when something on social media deserves a closer look. Right now, that's short-form video marketing.
Our values
It's great to work with people who share the same values. We want to be a partner who delivers results, and working with us should run like clockwork.
Our job is to deliver the best possible solution for you, plus the best customer experience you've ever had. When you win, we win.
Just OK isn't good enough for this crew. We genuinely want to be the best social media agency in Finland. We'd rather take inspiration from big entertainment creators in the US than from a client's competitors on social media.
“Serious about the work, never too serious about ourselves” is a classic, and it fits this team perfectly. We're friends, but whatever we agree on gets done to the highest standard.
We don't want to work with jerks. We keep communication respectful, open and honest. We talk openly about the business with our team too, and we're always learning from each other.
Our values
Customer focus
Our job is to deliver the best possible solution for you, plus the best customer experience you've ever had, because we believe that's the right thing to do. When you win, we win.
Hunger
We want to lead by example. We know how to challenge you and move your business forward with video.
Fun
Filming, and putting it to work for business, is a passion for all of us. That means we have fun whenever we get out on a shoot. And a fun, laid-back team takes the pressure off when the camera is rolling. You're our friend, and if you're not yet, nice to meet you and welcome. Shall we fire up the sauna?
Respect and honesty
We don't want to work with jerks. Hopefully you don't either. Let's keep communication respectful and open, so there are no surprises on either side. You're the expert in your business, and as content marketing professionals, we know what works in video and photography.
Commercial team
Our commercial team makes sure you get more out of Höyry than you expected. They look after strategy, sales and growth, so you get more visibility and more sales.
