Teija Ahlfors Portfolio

I am a skilled technologist with a passion for leveraging AI to drive innovation and improve customer experiences. With a strong foundation in software development, data analysis, and quality assurance, I have successfully contributed to a variety of projects at leading tech companies.
As a dynamic and results-driven Content Strategist and Program Manager with over 10 years of experience in digital marketing and content development, I specialize in creating and implementing strategies that resonate with target audiences, drive business results, and support organizational growth. Throughout my career, I’ve developed and executed content strategies for a variety of industries, including technology, healthcare, and nonprofits, where I’ve worked with cross-functional teams and collaborated with industry experts to craft engaging digital content.
In my previous roles, I have had the opportunity to work with cutting-edge tools like FinalCut for video editing, WordPress for website content management, and Adobe Professional Pro for creating visually stunning and highly functional digital content. I’ve also effectively used tools such as Google Analytics, Sprout Social, and Semrush to track content performance and optimize strategies. By closely monitoring page views, bounce rates, conversion rates, and SEO rankings, I’ve ensured that content not only meets but exceeds engagement targets. Furthermore, I leverage social media analytics to track engagement rates, follower growth, and content reach, enabling data-driven decisions that increase brand visibility and enhance audience connection.
I have led initiatives that improved content quality and optimized engagement, including generating and managing newsletters, blogs, and educational materials. Collaborating with healthcare professionals, I’ve created educational content that effectively communicates a brand’s services and expertise in areas such as wellness and longevity. My ability to analyze metrics such as CTR (Click-Through Rate), watch time, and conversion rates has enabled me to refine content strategies and achieve measurable results.
With my extensive experience in digital marketing, content curation, and project management, I excel in delivering projects within budget and deadlines while coordinating teams and external partners for seamless execution. I am adept at adapting strategies based on user feedback, NPS scores, and survey results, allowing me to continuously improve and align marketing initiatives with organizational goals.

Biography

Photography is a part of me. It's as familiar and common to my Life as is sleeping and eating. A camera is always by my side and I shoot most every single day with the pleasure and ease of a well developed habit. I often call photography my third eye because like an extra sense, it is as reflexive to my perceptions and intuitions as are my very own eyes.

I've been snapping photos from a young age.
In college, having viewed Ansel Adams' spectacular prints in a book, I decided that I wanted to create beautiful images like that. It didn't take long for me to realize, leaving aside the obvious qualitative differences between a master photographer and a college student that my images looked nothing like Ansel Adams' prints. While his photos were of nature, I was drawn to people and places.

It is an elusive thing, trying to capture or even articulate, what Still, the photographs that I have been able to produce since then, in my travels around Europe and Asia represent this quest for hidden meaning in the implied narrative of the image.
