“A good magazine is the result of a seamless combination of text, images, and rhythm. It also combines information with feelings and surprises readers time after time. The job of our 25 editorial teams is to give readers quality magazines that will bring them back again and again and touch them as well. That means we need to stay open-minded and always keep questioning things. The magazine world is changing all the time, and that’s how it should be – and we intend staying at the front of the field as things change.”

“The comic books and magazines that we publish, together with our books for children and juvenile readers, are full of fun characters, enchanting stories, magical experiences, fascinating tales, and exciting adventures. Our extensive range of crossword puzzle titles is great for people in need of some mental gymnastics. We’re Finland’s largest publisher of titles for children and young people, and we’re very committed to quality here, as we want our products to be read by one generation after another. We take pride in the good and rich language of our products, as Finnish kids learn to read with our publications.”

“Finnish consumers are very demanding and deserve the best. The high quality and range of Sanoma Magazines’ magazine portfolio and its digital services, together with its class-leading sales and customer service, are central to its success, and will continue to be in the future. The solid foundation that already exists provides a strong base for the solutions that will be needed as the company moves forward.”
