Having challenges in planning and executing events?
You have a vision for the event and a number of planned activities, but you're not quite sure which are the mandatory requirements in order to achieve the set goal and which are just nice. There is no "red line" that makes an event a total experience. You may be working with limited resources and the clock is ticking. Where can you find the creative madness to help you achieve your goals and an extra pair of hands to get there on time?

1980'
—Felt in love with performing art's, shows and stages
I wasn’t even 3 years old when my entrepreneur parents asked me if we should take the baby carry along for a longer walk. I told them that there was no need for that. If I get bored of walking I start running.
So you could say that I was already born with an extra energy boost.
In kindergarten I was in every play they where. At age of 5 I started my Figure Skating career and when I started primary school Ballroom Dancing game along as a hobby.
1990'
—The team is as strong as it's weakest link
Changed from individual skating to synchronized skating. We win the junior's "worlds" at 1992 with Helsinki Rockettes.
I started my work as a volunteer in sports competitions 1993. I got so engaged in events and project work, that I wished to marry someone with a lot of money to be able to continue the voluntary work in events. At that time I didn't know that event work could be proper work with a salary.
1996 I graduated from High School and started working at Stockman department store. Later I worked at sports equipment import company and also for company that rents out office workers.
2000'
—Inspired of combining things! I learned the importance of breaking a whole for smaller parts and implementing them with imagination.
Sports Masseur and Physical education studies inspired me to combine my figure skating knowledge on hockey skates and strated coaching ice hockey juniors as a entrenepreuer.
I work 2 years as a substitude teacher in elementary school organizing lot’s of performances, celebrations and happenings.
Autum 2004 I became a mum for a little boy. After the maternity leave I worked in an Icelandic Investment Bank as an Administrative Manager. I was involved with employee leisure happenings and posh customer meetings and events.
2010'
—I understood that there are "must have and nice to have things"
Over six years I worked as a Fitness center manager. Reorganizing operations and services in many centers. Part of my job was organizing events for customers, companies and staff. At the same time I was a Member of board of parents association at my son’s school planning leisure happenings to fundraising for school.
2016 I started as a full time entrepreneur in the event industry —M.Proyecto was born. My first contract I made with Espoo Metro Areena as a venue producer. Many different kinds of events: Sports, culture, leisure, fairs, company, concerts and seminars. I was also a big part of making the guide for venue producers and finding out digital ways helping the hectic way of working with a big variety of subcontractors.
2020'
—Belive in your dreams and go for them
During the covid pandemic , I spent my time to grow my network and learning how to configure digital platforms to help small business with they administration work. I was also part of a pro bono group that founded an online marketplace for small entrepreneurs in the service industry affected by the corona virus. I also got my Security guard license.
2022 decided to move to Malaga, to the land of my soul and started dancing again. 2023 stared a new chapter of studies in Spanish. First a course of how to handle a small business in the digital world. And
next to come are studies in OSTELA, a Master of Organizing Events.
A successful event requires expertise and resources in many areas
Continuous coordination of the entire timeline of an event with clear structure and framework are key factors for a successful event. A well-planned and scheduled event is by no means rigid. A well-grounded production detects potential bottlenecks in advance. With clear structures, we create a flexible organization in the face of unexpected situations.
With efficient processes and open communication we create employee appreciation, awareness of their role in a big picture and certainty about what will happen next. With the help of these factors, we create a good environment where everyone can enjoy.
A coordinated and consistently managed event brings a safety and creates a good atmosphere and a flexible mind. You, as the organizer, can also have peace of mind throughout the process and enjoy the trip and the event. A good atmosphere spreads from the creators to the audience, causing visitors to spend and wait for your next event.

My work history with Mari Linnonmaa has been related to Boogi software, Tuska festival and FME concert production. Our path crossed first time with event software Boogi. Mari was a product user of Boogi and quite fast i realized that she´s using the software a bit more advance than regular users. That´s when i invited her to be part of the Boogi development team.
In Tuska festival Mari worked as producer of our speech program stage. Also she was helping out our merhcandise point, which at that time was a bit short handed with staff. Mari saw the sitution and took over the place professionally.
All and all Mari is super fast, straight foward kind of producer that is always really needed when things need to be get fixed: fast and smooth.

Mari takes things seriously and is not afraid to do the so-called dirty work.
