How can a century-old Finnish lighting company become a credible smart brand? Since 2022, Drama Queen has led Airam’s journey with strategic and creative marketing communications. The results shine brightly.
Founded in 1921, Airam is a lighting company that provides solutions for both households and electrical professionals. What began as a light bulb repair business has, over the past century, expanded to include a range of products from electrical supplies to the iconic thermos bottles. In 2021, Airam took a strategic leap into smart lighting by launching the Airam SmartHome for consumers.
True to Airam’s slogan, Drama Queen helps make everyday life brighter, powering impactful marketing across every facet of the business. At the core of our strategic vision stands Airam SmartHome, with the shared goal of elevating brand awareness, boosting brand esteem, and driving sales growth. Together, we’re lighting the way to a smarter, brighter tomorrow.
