Drum becomes Edelman’s Finnish partner

Global communications firm Edelman has chosen Drum as its representative in Finland. This will allow Drum to open doors for clients in need of communication and marketing services in international markets and to offer its services to Edelman’s clients aiming for the Finnish market.

The formation of the partnership was facilitated by the parallel approach between Edelman and Drum, which makes extensive use of communication and marketing methods and channels based on creative and goal-oriented planning.

– Our culture and operating philosophy are indeed close, which makes working with Edelman uncomplicated. We can now offer our clients the services of the largest independent communications agency chain in the world,” says Maija Tommila, CEO of Drum.

Through the Edelman partnership, Drum offers international customers a gateway to the Finnish market. In addition, Drum has access to Edelman’s extensive data and research, the most important of which is the international Trust Barometer.

– By joining forces with Drum, we can provide an excellent service to our customers for whom Finland is an important market. I also see great potential in Drum’s ability to open doors to Edelman’s international network of services around the world. Finland has great emerging brands, you are known for your strong technological expertise and innovation. At the same time, we can also strengthen our Nordic network’s cooperation,” says Steve Heywood, Head of Partnerships for Edelman’s EMEA region.

Edelman is the world’s largest independent communications agency, with 6 000 employees in more than 60 offices. Edelman is a widely- awarded agency, including the Cannes Lions Grand Prix PR; Advertising Age’s 2019 A-List; Holmes Report – Global Digital Agency of the Year 2018. In addition, it has been awarded five times in Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work competition. The company was founded in 1952 and has been an independent family business ever since.
