Valtra as a global company has a presence in many areas – including in social media. Valtra’s various social media channels provide followers with both practical benefits and fun.
“Valtra is accessible these days through many different channels. We want to build a good community among our followers on social media and provide a forum in which they can discuss everything related to Valtra and express their interest in Valtra as fans and customers. We also like to post tractor photos that our fans have shared with us on social media – it’s a real honour for us to share their photos,” says Laura Kääpä, Communication Officer at Valtra.
Kääpä coordinates Valtra’s global social media content together with a European-wide team. Close collaboration ensures a broad range of content and that all of Valtra’s markets are represented, while also making sure that interesting news reaches all followers.
