The Drivers Behind Our Growth
Rankings reflect results, but behind those results are people, partnerships, and long-term strategic decisions.
Strong Market Presence
In 2025, our market presence has been stronger than ever. Alongside our continued recognition as a Top 20 Fintech company in Finland for the third consecutive year, we’ve seen our work and growth model highlighted by global industry leaders. From a small Nordic team to one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintech marketers and now recognized by Google for building an engine that generates roughly €1 million in revenue per employee. Meta also featured Draivi for scaling smartly in Germany, recognizing our data-driven and structured approach to international expansion.
Investing in Talent to Accelerate Growth
A core part of our growth in 2025 has been investing in people — especially in roles that drive strategic performance and insight. Strengthening our analytics capabilities with a new Head of Analytics, has helped us make smarter, data-informed decisions across markets. We’ve also expanded our performance team with a new Head of Performance Marketing, bringing fresh energy and expertise to how we scale and optimize across channels.
Most recently, we welcomed a Talent Acquisition Specialist to the team, further reinforcing that we are not only growing, but actively investing in bringing the right people on board to power our next phase of growth.
Long-Term Partner Collaboration
Partnerships have been a key pillar of our growth and impact in 2025. We continue to build deep, long-term collaborations that drive mutual success and deliver stronger outcomes. Our ongoing work with Sambla is a prime example, together we’ve aligned data insights and performance goals to scale efficiently and create shared value.
