A Great Opportunity
Great Point will wind down for a while now. In the beginning of 2010 I will begin as the CEO of Kotimaa-yhtiöt, a media house owned by the Lutheran Church of Finland. The company publishes newspapers, magazines and books, as well as builds organs and sells clothing and accessories to local congregations. I’ve loved just about every day as a consultant, but the possibility of putting some of the things I’ve learned in this business into practice in this particular context was too hard to resist. In the emerging new media landscape there should be amazing opportunities for companies serving interest-based and value-based information needs.
Great Point will not go away though. It will just become even more boutiqueish than it has been before. A few great relationships with great clients will continue, maybe something new will be picked up on the side. Not much. Just a few pet projects.
I want to sincerely thank Great Point’s clients for the wonderful ride we’ve had during the last few years. It’s been great. Let’s keep in touch.
Cheers everybody,
Jaakko
