Get access to the biggest media sites and SoMe channels in one single unified platform! Tivedo is a Danish digital marketing tech company that focuses on solving one of the most significant challenges in modern marketing: effectively reaching the right audience with optimal campaign efficiency. The problem it addresses is the gap between businesses' marketing efforts and their ability to target precise, relevant demographics in an increasingly saturated digital landscape. In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses often struggle to ensure their marketing budgets are well-spent and that their campaigns reach the right audiences. Many companies waste resources on broad, untargeted campaigns that fail to yield the desired returns on investment (ROI). The digital advertising ecosystem, with its growing complexity, also means businesses may lack the time, resources, or expertise to constantly optimize their campaigns for better results. Tivedo addresses this by offering a data-driven platform that optimizes digital campaigns in real-time. Through advanced audience segmentation, businesses can target over 275 predefined audience groups as well as over 1000 specific audiences and even request customized segments to tailor their messaging. Tivedo’s algorithms continually adjust campaigns to ensure that marketing dollars are spent efficiently, boosting ROI and improving performance across various platforms. Why Tivedo is Effective: - Precision Targeting: Tivedo provides access to specific audience segments, allowing companies to focus on those most likely to convert. - Real-Time Optimization: Its proprietary algorithms automatically adjust and optimize campaigns, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing effectiveness. - User-Friendly Platform: Businesses can launch and manage complex campaigns without technical expertise, as Tivedo’s platform simplifies the process. - GDPR Compliance: Given the stringent privacy regulations, especially in Europe, Tivedo ensures full compliance with GDPR, offering businesses peace of mind when handling user data. By solving these key challenges, Tivedo enables businesses to achieve higher engagement, improved conversion rates and better overall performance from their digital marketing efforts.

Blok is a digital real estate agency for residential properties. Simply put, we help people buy and sell apartments. Why? Real estate transactions are notorious for being the largest and most stressful financial decisions we take during our lives. There are a lot of questions, uncertainty and the process has traditionally been opaque and costly. Our goal at Blok is to fix that by providing a transparent and cost-efficient service, where the customer feels that she’s in control. At the core, we’re a technology company, since we recognize that winning in this market requires us to augment the best real estate agents with the best technology. Our digital services enable us to give our customers a modern customer experience and provides massive operational efficiencies for our real estate agents, which saves time and money, both for us and our customers. Founded in 2017, the company has grown rapidly with apartments sold for the combined value of over 500 MEUR to date and employs over 35 people in Finland and Sweden. We’re backed by prominent Nordic and Swiss investors and our financial situation is solid. The Story Blok's story started from our own experiences in the real estate market. In January 2015 our CEO Rudi Skogman found his dream apartment. To afford it he had to sell his old flat. After some price negotiations the apartment was sold and the real estate agent cashed in a 7000 € commission. Afterwards Rudi started thinking if using an agent had been right choice after all. There had to be a better (and cheaper) way to sell apartments. In the spring of 2016 Rudi got the idea of using technology to automate most of the selling process. Soon after that Juha, Samu and Olli joined. Things started to fall in place: What if we would let the owner arrange viewings? What if bids could be made online? What if the home valuation would be done by an algorithm? What if the transaction cost was a bit more reasonable? After taking a leap of faith and founding Blok the service was officially launched in the spring of 2017. Since then the company has served thousands of home sellers and buyers across Finland and Sweden. The company has won recognition as one of the hottest startups in Europe (Wired) and as the best new web service of the year (Grand One). The Service Our apartment sales service provides an easy and seamless digital experience for selling and buying an apartment throughout the whole home buying and selling process: - The valuation service estimates the value of your apartment based on advanced algorithms and actual transactions. - The trading platform enables bidding for apartments electronically. - The agent service automates nearly all routine tasks of the real estate agent, making the whole process extremely cost-efficient. Our Etsivä service offers an unique way to buyers to find their dream apartment. The service looks for a suitable apartment among all existing apartments in the Helsinki Capital Region and can tell you how many actually exist, how many are sold per year and for what price. You can ask us to contact the owners of those apartments to check if they are interested in buying. Our digital services matched with our stellar customer service team has resulted in a world-class customer happiness which has steadily measured in the 80-90 range on the NPS scale.
