Kream Helsinki

What Kream Helsinki does

KREAM Helsinki (legal entity: KREAM Helsinki Osk) is a Finnish workers' cooperative founded in 2016 and headquartered at Luotsikatu 2, 00160 Helsinki (Business ID 2765825-9). The firm provides expert services for the commercialization of intangible rights and the creative industries, serving both individual creative professionals (writers, directors, photographers, producers, event organizers) and creative-industry companies seeking to monetize intellectual property. It is a member of AGMA, the Association of Agents and Managers in Creative Industries.

The cooperative's offering is organized as a single "Liiketoiminnan kehittäminen" (Business Development) umbrella comprising six integrated service modules: Agency and Management Services, Consulting Services, Parviäly (a multi-perspective "crowd intelligence" methodology drawing on commercial, legal, production, and communications expertise), Licensing intermediation, Productions (corporate audiovisual, television programming, telecommunications content, and events from small training sessions to stadium-scale concerts), and Training and Coaching (covering IPR commercialization, storytelling, gamification, service design, and new narrative formats). There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on the cooperative members' expertise and an external network of partner professionals.

KREAM Helsinki generates revenue through customized, quote-based professional services engagements delivered directly to clients, with no public pricing or fee schedules. Disclosed reference customers span media, broadcasting, entertainment, AR/technology, food and beverage, and wellness (Warner Bros Suomi, Yle, Arilyn, Violetti, Kaksi Merenneitoa, Sauna Arla, Furuwik, Saunat.fi). The firm operates a regional (Nordic, primarily Finnish) footprint via direct sales and mobile/remote delivery, with no external shareholders, no funding rounds, and no investor relations disclosed.
