Founder & #smallbusinessowner Jenni Lehtonen:
I am a 27-year-old entrepreneur and former national team athlete from Espoo. I have a BA in English linguistics from the University of Helsinki, with communication and North American culture studies as my minor. I am currently finishing my Master's studies in translation communication in addition to my daily work as an entrepreneur.
Raised by entrepreneur parents, I have been involved in our family business since a very young age. I have gained valuable experience and have had the opportunity to be a part of various types of business activities.
Creative writing has always been close to my heart. I've written stories and texts since I was little. I have always had a vivid imagination, which I guess now reflects in my creativity! I started studying English on my own already when I was in preschool. After high school, I quickly knew that I wanted to work with the language in the future. But I would never have guessed that I would end up working specifically in the field of written expression. The passion to get back to writing came about through many twists and turns!
What's even more interesting is the route that led me to creating marketing content – someone ordered, I delivered. No but seriously, somewhere along the way, I realized that there was a growing need for simple marketing content production. I wanted to learn to produce professional visual content, not just writing texts. Well, luckily you can learn almost anything online. Adobe's online courses quickly paid off, and my graphic designer career had its defining moment in 2021, when I joined the A-lehdet Group as a digital content producer.
During my career as a national team athlete, I got to represent our team in several international media appearances and gave tons of interviews. Performing and encountering people are close to my heart, which is why the best thing about being a business owner is talking to customers, brainstorming and sharing stories.
I am not yet ready to close the door to mark the end of my performing career. In the spring of 2023, I got to organize this workshop on marketing and written expression. It was absolutely amazing, and I want to do more of that. (Anyone interested?)
