HELSINKI - Maxus today announced the appointment of Miko Paassilta as managing director, Finland.
The announcement was made by Maxus EMEA CEO, Federico De Nardis. Paassilta will be based in Helsinki, reporting into De Nardis. He joined Maxus on 1 August.
Paassilta previously held the role of head of marketing at Nokia Finland and the Baltic States (2008-2014). Following that, he held the role of head of marketing at Microsoft Mobile for Finland and the Baltic States before joining Maxus.

Miko is bringing solid digital expertise and client-side insights to an already experienced team. Maxus has grown mainly with local clients in each Nordic market up to this point in time. It's now the right moment to approach clients in the Nordic region to demonstrate our new approach, with digital and creativity at the core, based on our new 'smart data' platform."
Paassilta commented: "I am extremely excited to be joining Maxus Finland. The agency is full-service, with digital at the forefront. And with the support of the Maxus global network, we can ensure our clients get the best results in a fast evolving media landscape."
