Gaps or missed opportunities in the customer journey Fortune: Sanoma Media Finland (www.sanoma.fi)
1. Implement a ‘Media Mix Optimizer’ interactive tool on the homepage that provides immediate reach estimates based on budget and target industry, capturing high-intent leads earlier. 2. Develop industry-specific landing pages (Verticalization) for Retail, FMCG, and Real Estate that map the journey from ‘Case Study’ to ‘Direct Ad Manager Access’ without manual intervention. 3. Bridge the identity gap by unifying the B2B marketing site and the ‘Sanoma Ad Manager’ into a single, seamless authenticated experience.
Sanoma has the best media ‘inventory’ in Finland but a second-class ‘checkout’ experience. They are winning on content but losing on the digital-first customer journey, making them vulnerable to any competitor that makes buying local attention as easy as buying a Facebook ad.
The customer journey is characterized by ‘Information Silos’ and ‘Conversion Friction.’ While Sanoma offers a premium product, the B2B journey from awareness to purchase is fragmented. Technical debt is evident in the separation between the corporate site and the advertising management tools. The current state relies heavily on a ‘Contact Sales’ model, which creates a massive bottleneck for modern, agile marketers who expect the frictionless, data-first discovery seen on Meta or Google Ad Managers.
Compared to Schibsted or Axel Springer, Sanoma’s journey lacks integrated ‘Audience Intelligence’ at the pre-conversion stage. Competitors are increasingly moving toward a ‘Product-Led Growth’ model where advertisers can model reach and ROI before speaking to a representative. Sanoma remains in a ‘Sales-Led’ paradigm that is slow and opaque.
The lack of an automated self-serve path for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) results in an estimated 15-22% revenue leakage. High Sales Acquisition Costs (CAC) for low-margin accounts are currently eroding the profitability of their smaller media properties.
Sanoma holds a near-monopoly on Finnish attention through its multi-channel ecosystem (HS, IS, Nelonen). However, its value proposition is under threat from global tech platforms that offer superior self-service UX and transparent attribution, making Sanoma’s legacy-leaning B2B journey a strategic liability in the mid-market segment.
“The score of 68 reflects the company's undeniable market strength and quality of assets, counterbalanced by a digital journey that is non-intuitive, manually intensive, and strategically misaligned with current media-buying behaviors.”
