Toukola
Toukola is a unique lifestyle media focused on short videos.
Toukola offers relaxed and approachable instructional videos and inspiration for home makers and do-it-yourselfers. We are the only domestic magazine media in Finland that reaches consumers with regular short videos on home, cooking and DIY topics.
Relaxed and inspiring videos
We conducted a survey at Kotiliesi.fi to better understand the needs of our customers. The feedback highlighted a clear demand for simple everyday cooking recipes and DIY advice. In response to this, our team brainstormed and decided to present these tips and recipes in the form of concise videos, aligning with the ongoing trend of increasing video consumption.
Videos are published on Toukola every weekday to help readers solve everyday challenges and get inspired. The content covers food, interior design, DIY, crafts and gardening.
Journalistic Toukola videos are produced by Sanna Mansikkamäki and Anni Reenpää from Kotiliesi and commercial videos by Noora Sipilä and Mikko Marttinen.
The short videos are placed on Kotiliesi Toukola website, which will live with the seasons in the Kotiliesi magazine and on social media.

Toukola is more than a place
Toukola is an actual farm located in Nuuksio, on the shores of the lake, in a green and atmospheric courtyard. The long history of the farm dates back to the Reenpää cultural family in the 1940s, and it was renamed Toukola in 1983. (The Otava Group is fully owned by the Reenpää family and the Otava Book Foundation.)
The red-multicoloured buildings and log walls of Toukola create a cosy atmosphere and take you back to your childhood summer cottage. As a concept, Toukola is more than a place. It is a “mindset”: down-to-earth, do-it-yourself, enjoying good food and life.
