JYSK Awards 2024

In mid-November, JYSK Awards took over Logomo in Turku, bringing together nearly 600 JYSK employees from Finland and abroad for the annual staff celebration. Creative Technology was delighted to be part of the event's technical production in collaboration with Logomo, commissioned by event agency Factor Nova.

“The JYSK Awards is our yearly celebration that goes beyond just an awards ceremony – it’s a chance to celebrate our shared values such as teamwork, excellence, and commitment. We highlight employees and teams who have contributed significantly to JYSK’s success. It’s also a great opportunity to strengthen our shared culture and values.”

– Tiia Perhonen, Office Assistant, JYSK Finland

JYSK began planning the event at Logomo over a year in advance. It soon became clear that Logomo’s facilities would perfectly fit the spirit of the JYSK Awards. The close collaboration between CT and Logomo reinforced the client’s confidence that the event would be a success.

Creative Technology handled the event’s lighting design and implementation, audio and video technology, as well as technical production and operating. Our local event technology team in Turku participated in the planning right from the client’s first site visit in Logomo. Smooth cooperation between all parties was essential for the event’s success – a goal we successfully achieved together. JYSK Finland’s Tiia Perhonen thanks CT for their expertise:

“CT’s technical execution was extremely professional and seamless. Their expertise and ability to respond to client requests were invaluable. Collaboration with CT’s tech professionals was effortless, based on strong trust and a shared commitment to excellence.”

Creating a Comprehensive Experience

JYSK’s goal was to create an experience where all elements – program, food, and venue design – supported each other perfectly. This required precise scheduling and close cooperation among various teams, which was accomplished with great success. As a venue Logomo offered convenient facilities for the festive gala, with which JYSK was really satisfied:

“Logomo’s facilities were perfect for this type of event. They not only supported the event’s visual identity but also excelled in functionality and practicality. Collaboration with the Logomo team was excellent – they were always ready to offer support and ensure everything went as planned.”

The 2024 gala drew inspiration from the northern lights with the theme designed by Factor Nova, “The Northern Light Road”, taking participants on an imaginary journey across the northern starry sky. The theme’s strong visual identity required precise technical planning to authentically capture the northern lights inside Logomo Hall.

“Working with CT and Logomo was fantastic! It’s a pleasure to collaborate with partners who execute our event concepts with uncompromising precision and expertise. CT’s technical solutions seamlessly supported the event’s success. Logomo provided highly functional facilities and created a stunning menu served on a minute-perfect schedule. The beautifully crafted dishes received high praise from our guests.”

A Long-Term Partnership with Logomo

CT has been Logomo’s long-term event technology partner, contributing to numerous successful events. Our Turku office is located within Logomo, making event organizing in the Turku area particularly convenient.

“We are pleased that JYSK chose Logomo for their important staff event. Collaboration went smoothly with both JYSK and Factor Nova. Especially in these economically uncertain times, it’s wonderful to see companies investing in staff well-being and recognition through a magnificent gala. I’m also proud of both the Logomo and Creative Technology teams, who handled the event with the professionalism and respect it deserved.”

– Suvi Arola, Account Manager, Logomo

Creative Technology’s Project Manager Hannes Hietarinta reflected on the strong partnerships:

“Planning and executing a gala the size of the JYSK Awards requires not only a skilled crew but also great partners. For this event, we were fortunate to have two exceptional ones – Factor Nova & Logomo. Thank you again for letting us be part of such an incredible production.”

Thank you for a successful collaboration Factor Nova, Logomo and JYSK!
