Kirsten Korhonen

Group Account Director | Union Direct

After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University, I kicked off my career in the industry by joining the marketing team at VELUX in 2006. After spending six years being an ambassador for all things daylight, I made the leap to the agency dark side with Union Direct, and have never looked back. 

In my 12 years here, I’ve worked across a range of sectors on some of the country’s biggest brands and organisations, including Scottish Widows, Scot Blood, Worldwide Cancer Research, Bank of Scotland, Business Stream, Edinburgh Airport and VisitScotland. 

I love rolling my sleeves up and helping to solve big problems for clients, galvanising the troops and creating work that delivers results and looks brilliant. We’ve been lucky enough to work with one of our biggest clients for nearly 15 years, and being part of that growing relationship is genuinely one of the most rewarding parts of the job. 

I’m truly lucky to help lead a team that wins Marketing Society Star Awards, drives industry change through their work and are all pros at karaoke too. 

And in other news; Beyonce is god, I’ll hop on a plane for adventures at any opportunity and wholeheartedly believe that raving is good for the soul.
