Best Marketing Agencies in Helsinki (2026)

Introduction

Helsinki has a compact but capable marketing agency scene, and the nine agencies below cover most of what a Finnish or Nordic brand needs: CRM and marketing automation, B2B demand generation, paid media, search and data-led growth. They were chosen for current client rosters, recent recognition and the depth of their teams in the city.

Much of the work here is shaped by the client base. Industrial exporters such as Nokia, Konecranes, UPM and Stora Enso buy B2B growth and lead generation, while retail and consumer groups such as Kesko and Valio spend heavily on media and search. Several of the city’s growth agencies grew up as HubSpot partners and now sell CRM change programmes alongside campaigns. At the network end, Omnicom completed its acquisition of IPG at the end of 2025, and its Finnish media agencies work from a shared office in Sörnäinen.

Every agency listed has an active Helsinki office in 2026. Social-first shops appear on our separate social media page. The list is unranked, since the right partner depends on your channel mix, budget and how much of the work you plan to keep in-house.

It works on ecommerce, customer engagement and growth marketing for clients including Marimekko, Elisa, Fortum, Posti, F-Secure, Genelec and Framery, and it runs the annual Digital Commerce Forum.

Clients come mainly from media, retail, banking and insurance, telecoms and manufacturing, and include Telia, Atlas Copco, XXL and PostNord. It suits organisations that want help building the data and automation behind their marketing more than the campaigns themselves.

Alongside its PR and public affairs practice, it runs advertising, positioning and brand development, data-driven marketing, influencer work, web development and video production.

Recent marketing work includes a brand refresh for the University of Helsinki (a strategic partner since 2021), Finago’s Finnish brand localisation and campaigns for GRK. Reetta Wallén was appointed Creative Director in October 2026. Clients who need marketing and corporate communications joined up tend to shortlist Miltton for that reason.

7. Sherpa

Partner-led · Punavuori · sherpa.fi

Sherpa calls itself a creative intelligence company and pairs brand and campaign work with behavioural research and generative AI. Its units cover creative, research (anthropology and behavioural science), strategy, AI advisory, design and a film and photo studio. Pauli Waroma, now CEO, returned to Sherpa in March 2025.

8. Precis

Nordic performance agency · Kallio · precis.com

Precis is a performance marketing agency founded in 2012, with 13 offices including Helsinki, on Siltasaarenkatu.

Its own platform, Alvie, handles performance measurement and attribution.

Precis won at the European Search Awards and the Global Search Awards in both 2025 and 2026. Clients include Volvo, Fjällräven, Klarna, Voi, Matas and Åhléns. It is a natural fit for brands selling across the Nordics that want media and measurement handled by one team.

9. Omnicom Media Group Finland

Omnicom · Sörnäinen · omnicommedia.com

It is the obvious shortlist for brands with large media budgets or global Omnicom alignments. Omnicom completed its acquisition of IPG at the end of 2025, so ask which agency brand and team will hold your account in 2026.

What to look for in a Helsinki marketing agency

Start with the platform question. Many Helsinki agencies are built around a single CRM or marketing automation platform, most often HubSpot, and their best work assumes you use it too. If your stack is Salesforce, Adobe or something in-house, ask for case studies on that platform specifically.

Decide whether you need media buying, growth consulting or both. Media agencies such as Dagmar and the Omnicom group buy at scale and bring research tools. Consultancies such as Avaus and Columbia Road are stronger on data, commerce and automation. Several agencies now sell both, but the strengths are rarely equal.

Language and market scope matter more here than in larger cities. Finnish-language search, content and media buying need native teams, and many Helsinki clients also sell into Sweden, the Baltics and Germany. Check where the people running your markets sit, and how reporting is shared across them.

Look at reporting and day-to-day handling too. Performance work produces a steady stream of dashboards, creative variants, landing pages and approval rounds. Agree early where files and reports will live, who signs off each asset, and how feedback is tracked, so a campaign launch does not stall on finding the latest version.

How Fabric helps marketing agency teams

Fabric gives a marketing agency one workspace for client files, campaign assets, reports and team knowledge, with AI search across all of it. The agency setup works well for growth and media teams running several accounts: a space per client, with briefs, media plans, creative and call notes kept together.

Search works by meaning across documents, images, PDFs and transcribed recordings, and it reaches connected apps such as Google Drive, Notion and Gmail. A strategist can find last quarter’s search report or a specific creative variant without remembering where it was saved. For agencies running performance marketing or SEO programmes, that saves time across the large number of small files each campaign produces.

For client review, share a file or folder with the client as a commenter. Shared links work without sign-up. Clients can highlight and comment on reports and PDFs, leave timestamped comments on video ads, draw on a video frame or an image and attach a comment to the drawing, and the team marks each comment completed as it is handled, so feedback works like a checklist. The annotations and collaboration pages cover the details. Link analytics shows when each named recipient opened a pitch deck or monthly report and how long they spent with it.

On Team plans, self-writing docs keep a page for each client up to date from meetings, Slack and the workspace, covering decisions, deliverables and open items. AI meeting notes record client calls with no bot in the room and merge the notes with the transcript.

Link analytics is included on Pro and Team plans, and self-writing docs on Team plans, which start from $125 a month. See plans for teams.
