Today marks 3 years at Supercell.
Joining Supercell was a defining moment and I joined to do the absolute best work of my career surrounded by truly inspiring people. In the blink of an eye years have now passed and it's been a wild ride (to say the least)!
Things have changed a lot since I started, initially joining the Investments team supporting studios to help grow their games. In my first few months Beatstar 🎸and Love and Pies 🥧 launched and Merge Mansion 👵 started to take the internet by storm.
We suddenly had a portfolio of success stories and live games with tons of learnings. I have had an amazing opportunity to meet, spar, and learn from some incredibly talented people from all around the world across so many different backgrounds. The challenges were always different and I never stopped growing. I dove head first into cross promotion with Supercell ID for Boom Beach Frontlines, concept testing with new games from Papukaya, Shipyard, 2UP, more and coached teams about everything I knew on all of the things (and discovered a whole lot more too).
At some point, it started to become clear that we needed to level up our own skills at Supercell and a small crew of us started to form, bringing together our collective knowledge of driving games with UA. Living up to our culture, I thought of what would be best for Supercell and that meant moving towards a new direction and leading the Performance Marketing team. Over the course of the next 2 years we grew to over a dozen bringing in some of the best people I've ever worked with who are absolute unicorns of the industry tackling some insanely crazy challenges to ensure that Supercell's best days are ahead of us.
We managed to find the right amount of process and tools and tech mixed with strategy and creativity and innovation, bringing in knowledge from our past mistakes and shared experiences. We made tough calls with limited resources and focused on impact and sustainable, profitable growth. We stayed together and built a strong team with unique strengths from everyone that paired us all together. We made mistakes, learned from them, picked ourselves up and continued to always move forward.
I'm really proud of what we have accomplished and the dream team that we assembled. There are big things in store, I can promise you that! While we may be quiet and humble in proper Finnish fashion, we are laser focused and determined on our shared mission.
So now as I watch Brawl Stars go off into the stratosphere with Godzilla 🚀, Haaland enter into Clash of Clans ⚽, and Squad Busters gear up for Global 🌎 (just to name a few!), I feel incredibly proud of what I've been apart of at Supercell and what's to come around the corner.
Special thanks to all those who've been a part of this journey and supported me along the way at my best and my worst. I can't even begin to name everyone and show all the gratitude and appreciation I have. Cheers to all the wins, losses and learnings! 🍾
