Construction management consultancy HTJ steps its communication up a gear

HTJ – one of Finland’s leading construction management companies – was looking for a communications partner to strengthen its corporate and employer image. Brunnen was chosen to partner with HTJ because of its strong understanding of the built environment.

The partnership was founded on HTJ’s core message – We build success – which has now been incorporated into all content and communication applications. Brunnen also coached HTJ’s executives on how to handle different types of communication situations, giving them the confidence to communicate their own expertise.

Together, we understood that enhancing HTJ’s visibility also required a concerted effort to identify the best communicative focal points of the operations. Despite playing a crucial role in several major construction projects across the country, the no-frills construction management company has often not been given the recognition it deserves. Together we found ways to identify the key takeaways from the projects and created a model for effective media communication and content production.

“Both at a strategic level and in terms of practical implementation, Brunnen has provided us with highly insightful communication services. We have successfully increased our visibility on the channels that are important to us and streamlined our internal processes for planning our project communications,” says HTJ’s Managing Director, Janne Ketola.

Examples of HTJ’s most impressive projects include the infrastructure of the Lahti Southern Ring Road, the renovation of the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki, the modernization of Tampere University Hospital and a project involving seasonal heat storage at Vantaa Energy.
