About

๐Ÿ”‘ Do you need training about meaningful LinkedIn presence, expert communication & community building for your experts, sales team, leaders or other employees? Or perhaps some personal branding coaching for yourself as entrepreneur, expert or job seeker? I deliver both, in human rhythm. โœ‰ Send me a direct message or mail [email protected] ๐Ÿฅฉ What is my mission? In my opinion we need more professionals communicating their valuable knowledge in social media, to fight the wrong information for instance. So I want to help you to establish a strong personal brand or assist your employees in becoming stronger communicators. Engaged employees amplify their employer's brand too! I'd love to help you find your own voice or to assist your employees to put a fruitful routine in place. I'm a secret weapon with my ability to utilize knowledge without assuming anything and serve unexpected comprehension. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“ How seasoned professional am I? I myself have been using social media even before it was called social media. My know-how and skills base on consistent communication, that started in Bulletin Board Systems, IRC and forums. Nowadays I naturally use LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads and other social networks. I've also blogged for years. So I've been honing my practical skills for 30+ years. The teaching part has been going on since 2009, 1000+ professionals have participated from hundreds of companies and organizations during the years. ๐Ÿ“ฃ What are people saying? "Great training! The best social media training I've been to. Very useful and practical. This really gave me some ideas for my expert role on social media. Reasoned arguments for things, good discussion about the questions on the minds of the participants." "We were very satisfied with Hanna's training. We went into enough detail, but we also got a lot of good perspectives and encouragement for our experts. So, a good experience all in all!" "Hanna was a really liked trainer and our group got off to a good start with their social media accounts. The participants especially liked Hanna's way of saying things directly and giving practical guidance." ๐Ÿ—บ How to purchase? At the moment you can purchase my knowledge from Zento team, which operates from Tampere, Finland. I'm available also for guest blogging, public speaking, podcast interviews etc. I visit workplaces to give different kind of training days and naturally my services are also available in Zoom, Teams etc. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Connect me with a note โœ‰ or send me email [email protected]

    • Art Director
      Mar 2006 - 2018 ยท 11 yrs 11 mos

      As a art director I have been focusing on web design, logo design, icon design and illustrating, but there has been occasional print design as well: mainly business cards, flyers and brochures. My clients vary from small companies (for example The Back Room) to big organisations (for instance Finnish National Agency for Education). Even if I'm not currently actively practicing visual design, you can ask my services if needed. Web design projects are most likely executed in collaboration with Syrjรค Interactive.

    • Assistant Art Director
      Aug 2004 - Mar 2006 ยท 1 yr 8 mos

      My career at Zento (and Nicefactory) started as an assistant for Art Director Riina Kahala (Vaajamรคki) after summer internship. I helped with graphic design mainly for websites, but also some print.

  • Freelance Graphic Designer at Self Employed
    Sep 2001 - May 2005 ยท 3 yrs 9 mos

    During my studies at the Tampere Polytechnic I also worked as a freelance graphic designer. Most of the assignments were posters, flyers and other print jobs, but also occasional webpages here and there. This gave me a lot of confidence to use visuals in communication.

  • Web Designer (Trainee) at The Church Research Institute
    May 2003 - Aug 2003 ยท 4 mos

    I did my first job training in the Church Research Institute. My training assignment was about their webpage design, since it was during my visual design studies. That page didn't have any community aspects to consider, nor was it social, but still I did gather that sort of information too from this training.
