Jenna Perus — Growth Director & Martech Architect

Technical depth to see what's possible. Commercial instinct to know what matters. Finnish, based in Copenhagen.

What I actually do

The gap between good and great is almost always infrastructure. Strategy is the easy part — everyone has a deck; almost nobody has the machine underneath it, the systems that make a small team outrun a big one.

Selected work

Videolle — From Zero to Category Leader

Built a video agency's marketing in a crowded Finnish market with no team and no pipeline, into an engine that turns marketing into leads and sales. Joined early as CMO and partner; built the brand, demand engine and commercial model, and led the sales team where revenue rose 42% year on year. Grew Videolle to Finland's number-one agency in its field and through to acquisition by Sanoma in 2022. 3,500% event ROI; ranked #1 in field 2019; +75% lead growth 2021.

Framna — Three Brands In, One Brand Out

Three agencies (Shape, Move, Bontouch) became one global company of 600+ people. Led the global marketing team through the launch and built the new website, the migration of three companies' martech and data into one stack, and the ways of working that let five markets ship one brand — live everywhere in under twelve months. 130+ media hits; ~300K new website sessions.

Framna — Building the Revenue Engine

A newly merged global company with strong brand but no shared commercial system. Owned the commercial system: directed the global HubSpot rollout across five markets, setting how sales teams use the CRM, manage pipeline and work leads, and shaped marketing into a function that generates qualified pipeline and can prove what it returns. €700K single paid-search lead closed; thousands of qualified leads a year; five market pipelines unified.

Framna — Owned Data as a Commercial Asset

Northern Europe's largest app study — 600 apps and 9,000 users across Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands (latest edition 13,750 users, expanded to Poland). Designed the report and the engine around it: launch events in three markets, the report as a lead magnet, and the data as ammunition for every sales meeting. 330 MQLs and SQLs from the launch events alone; 854 event signups; 1,000+ report downloads; 8.6 event NPS.

Framna · Forwardism — The Brand Idea People Didn't Skip

A newly launched global agency, a brand philosophy called Forwardism, and the problem every brand has: nobody wants to watch a company talk about itself. Built the content concept that made them watch — skippable in-stream pre-roll, long-form films and short social cuts, the kind of ad people live to skip. They didn't. Built from brand message to content direction. ~50% average view-through on long-form against a 20–30% norm; ~97% completion on short-form; 1.5M+ views.

What a manager says

"Jenna is a take-charge person who can present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. She individually and successfully developed several marketing campaigns and concepts to boost our loyalty and awareness of the momondo brand in Finland. Extremely organized, works independently, and follows through to ensure the job gets done. Jenna was also helpful, inspiring, and motivated everyone around her. I highly recommend her — she would make a great asset to any organization." — Mikala Bagger, Head of Markets, Nordic & English-speaking markets, KAYAK
