As part of the change, the separate CEO role at Improve Media will be discontinued, and <strong>Tuomas Suihkonen<\/strong>, who has led the company for many years, will leave his position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">City Digital\u2019s media portfolio includes well-known Finnish media brands such as Suomi24 and City. The advertising network operated by Improve Media, part of City Digital Group, brings together the Group\u2019s own media brands as well as numerous websites and mobile applications. Closer collaboration will allow Improve Media\u2019s network to benefit more extensively from the expertise and insights gained from developing the Group\u2019s own media properties, while strengthening Improve Media\u2019s ability to serve both publishers and advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Puurunen has previously served as Managing Director of City Digital subsidiary Online Technology Group and is already well acquainted with City Digital\u2019s business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to build a more unified media operation and make better use of the expertise found across our different companies. We have great brands, strong expertise and plenty of opportunities to develop what we do together,\u201d says <strong>Teemu Puurunen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The change also marks the end of a significant chapter in Improve Media\u2019s history. <strong>Tuomas Suihkonen<\/strong> has played a key role in building the company, driving its growth and developing its partnerships from the very beginning. In addition to his work at Improve Media, Suihkonen has also been instrumental in building City Digital Group and shaping its company culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver the years, Tuomas has made an enormous contribution to Improve Media and the entire Group. His impact can be seen not only in the business itself, but also in the networks and culture around which Improve Media has been built. I want to warmly thank Tuomas for everything he has done for the company,\u201d says <strong>Ville Heinonen, CEO of City Digital<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege of being involved in building Improve Media from its very earliest days, and above all, I\u2019m proud of what we have achieved together. Along the way, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work with wonderful people, clients and partners, and we\u2019ve shared an incredible number of experiences. I want to thank everyone for these years, and I look forward with interest to seeing what the future holds,\u201d says <strong>Tuomas Suihkonen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changes in City Digital\u2019s management.
