Made in Bed

We are an opinionated creative marketing agency. Our ideas are born from people and built to move people. Our work creates competitive advantage through story, differentiation and desire.

We believe

People first

Ideas come from people and land with people. People lead, people are accountable. Technology serves us.

Stand out and mean something

Standing out is the starting point, not the goal. Attention must be earned but that is not enough. Your story must mean something. Only then will people want to be part of it.

Winning is planned

There are no shortcuts in marketing. Commitment takes time. A solid plan is half the win. The rest comes from work that does not quit.

Better together

Passion and expertise is a winning culture. Trust outlasts any contract. Together we are more than the sum of our parts.

It would be too easy to make you just known. Our passion is to make you preferred. It's more fun too.

Services

Strategy

Brand Strategy

Defining your brand position, story, promise and long-term direction.

Read more ↓
What

In-depth strategic work defining your target brand position, core messages, promise, story, tone of voice, target audiences, competitive landscape and long-term direction.

Why

A brand is not what you look like. It is why you get chosen.

For whom

Companies that want to build lasting competitive advantage, not just campaigns.

Brand Clarification

A faster process to define your brand core: who you are, what you promise and how you communicate.

Read more ↓
What

A faster and lighter process than full brand strategy, defining the core of your brand: who we are, why we exist, who we serve, what we promise, core messages and message hierarchy.

Why

Brand clarification defines how we communicate with coherence. Without clarity, marketing is invisible, scattered and ineffective. A brand is built on consistency and intent.

For whom

Companies that know they are doing things right but are not standing out or getting that across.

Creative

Advertising Design

Creative concepting and campaigns that build memorability and drive action.

Read more ↓
What

Creative concepting and campaign planning that works across channels. Not just individual ads but cohesive work that builds memorability and drives action.

Why

Most advertising goes unnoticed. Good design makes a brand memorable, recognisable, interesting and above all chosen through preference.

For whom

Companies that want to stand out from direct competitors and in a market where everyone looks the same and sounds the same.

Advertising Adaptation

Localisation for the Finnish market — copy, visuals and formats that respect Finnish culture.

Read more ↓
What

Copy, visual adaptations, format adaptations and translations, but above all localisation that respects Finnish culture and behaviour.

Why

A translated ad is not the same as an effective ad. Clever or funny copy gets noticed and creates feeling. Localisation decides whether you are talking to your audience or past them.

For whom

International brands entering Finland that want to use existing international advertising material in the Finnish market.

Events

360° Event Marketing

The event as part of a marketing whole — before, during and after.

Read more ↓
What

Building the event as part of broader marketing before, during and after, including social media, PR, influencers and follow-up communication.

Why

A single event is a moment. 360° makes it a phenomenon and a business-driving whole.

For whom

Companies that want more than a successful event. They want impact and to build something that shapes culture.

Event Planning

Ideation, concepting and planning of events.

Read more ↓
What

Ideation, concepting and planning of events.

Why

An event is one of the rare moments when a person truly experiences a brand. It creates a memory that no banner can build.

For whom

Brands that want to build genuine connection with people, not just reach them.

Consulting

Brand Management & Development

Ongoing brand guidance or occasional sparring and development in collaboration with the client.

Read more ↓
What

Ongoing brand guidance or occasional sparring and development in collaboration with the client.

Why

A brand is built on planning, consistency and long-term commitment.

For whom

Companies that do not have the internal resources for brand management and development.

Media Selection & Distribution

The right media and environments for your brand, chosen with purpose.

Read more ↓
What

The right media and environments for your brand, media choices, environment-specific thinking and connections and media reservations to selected channels.

Why

The media landscape is fragmented, constantly changing and hard to navigate. Real impact comes only when media is chosen with purpose and content is designed for that specific environment.

For whom

Brands that do not want to buy just seconds or impressions but are looking for a creative solution to achieve their goals.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship

Designing partnership models, selecting the right partnerships and building activations.

Read more ↓
What

Designing partnership models, selecting the right partnerships and building activations.

Why

Visibility alone is not enough. Value comes from how sponsorship is connected to the brand story and experience.

For whom

Brands that want to genuinely leverage partnerships rather than just show up.

Responsibility Partnerships

Designing partnership models with responsibility themes and social causes.

Read more ↓
What

Designing partnership models with responsibility themes and social causes.

Why

Visibility alone is not enough. Value comes from partnerships that are aligned with the brand's responsibility and actions, and that withstand critical scrutiny.

For whom

Brands that want to build credible responsibility and leverage partnerships as part of a long-term brand, not just one-off acts.

Together with

Made in Bed brings together a purposeful team of Finland's leading specialists for each project. We lead the whole, own the direction and make sure everything supports the same brand and its goals.

The best result does not come from one agency but from the right people in the right roles. Without clear leadership the whole falls apart.

PR

Building stories, finding media angles and delivering earned visibility in collaboration with PR professionals.

Read more ↓
What

Building stories, finding media angles and delivering earned visibility. A strong role in 360° event marketing.

Why

In regulated and competitive markets, credibility matters. Earned visibility builds trust in a way that paid media cannot.

For whom

Brands operating in regulated or competitive markets that want to build credibility alongside paid media.

Influencer Collaboration

Selecting the right influencers, concepting the collaboration and guiding content as part of the brand whole.

Read more ↓
What

Selecting the right influencers, concepting the collaboration and guiding content as part of the brand whole.

Why

People trust people, but only when the collaboration feels genuine. That is when influencer work is not a media buy but a brand act.

For whom

Brands that want to build trust quickly and need local understanding and cultural credibility.

Event Production

Event production from idea to execution: structures, technology, logistics, scheduling and on-site management.

Read more ↓
What

Event production from idea to execution: structures, technology, logistics, scheduling and on-site management.

Why

There are hundreds of variables in event organising. A good idea is worthless without flawless professional execution.

For whom

Companies organising launches, client events or high-profile consumer events that need reliable execution without surprises.

SEO

Developing search visibility: content, structure and findability.

Read more ↓
What

Developing search visibility: content, structure and findability.

Why

Trust and interest are built not only through campaigns but also when the customer is searching themselves. Visibility at the right moment is often decisive.

For whom

Companies that want to build long-term demand, not just momentary traffic.

Insights & Angles

January

Why don't people love me even they know me?

Brand awareness vs. Brand preference. There's a trap hidden in plain sight. Brand awareness is essential in marketing, but it's not the driver that leads to the actual goal.

February

Advertising doesn't make people play. But it can influence where they choose to play and stay.

Customer loyalty in the gambling industry is notoriously low and gambling companies have themselves to blame.

March

You can fool yourself but cannot fool the new audience

Gambling companies love to believe the product will sell itself. Or that a generic campaign from London or Stockholm will do the job. Or that the brand can wait until later.
