Anna-Liina Hakanen

Anna-Liina is finishing her master’s in marketing and communication in Turku School of Economics in Finland. Her expertise is in both B2B and B2C marketing and communication and she has international experience. 

During her studies Anna-Liina has had a marketing and communication internship at Cloetta. This experience developed her understanding of consumer communication. She has also tried entrepreneurship and team-leading by having her own street food truck business.

She has been an active member of the Association of the Economic Students in Turku. In her first year of university, she was the marketing manager of the sport’s board. Later, she was involved in organizing the second biggest student event, and the biggest winter festival in Finland. These roles taught her event production and organizing skills, in addition to the practical skills in marketing and design. Anna-Liina certainly loves to be a member of a team, which stems partly from her long background in aesthetic group gymnastics.
