September Newsletter: QSApp Wins Best Creative Campaign Award!
From Europe to the US, the message was clear: static content no longer works. But what does?
Hi, it’s Karo from Quicksave!👋
We’re back, and with a bang! The last few months have been (as usual in the hectic world of startup life) a whirlwind, and so much has happened since June.
What, you ask? An international award, top-tier game and tech industry events, and plenty of exciting talks and discoveries.
Let me tell you more!
In This Post 👇
- Our QSApp-powered Tuska Festival collaboration wins Superstruct Entertainment’s Best Creative Campaign award

🏆 QSApp-Powered Funeral Planner Wins the Best Creative Campaign of the Year
Back in our June newsletter, we took you behind the scenes at Tuska Festival, one of the biggest metal festivals in the Nordics. At the heart of the crowd, QSApp powered a one-of-a-kind interactive experience: festival-goers could step into a photo coffin, plan their funeral, and share their final wishes, all via a custom QSApp at Funeral Home Mononen’s booth.
Thousands of metalheads lined up to take part, and now, the campaign has earned major recognition. The Tuska x Mononen x QSApp collaboration was awarded Superstruct Entertainment’s Best Creative Campaign!
We’re truly honored to be part of this bold, smart, and most importantly, fun campaign. It pushed boundaries, sparked real conversations, and most importantly, proved how QSApp can entertain and engage thousands, all through a no-code, browser-based experience.
Huge thanks to Tuska Festival and Funeral Home Mononen for bringing this unforgettable idea to life with us!
🎮 QSApp at Gamescom: Playable Ads Are In, And We’re Ready
In August, our CEO, Elina, and CPO Ville-Kalle touched down in Cologne, Germany, for Gamescom, the world’s largest trade fair for the video game industry.
Between reconnecting with industry friends and making exciting new contacts, one trend stood out loud and clear:
Playable and interactive ads are trending. Big time.
Studios and publishers of all sizes are looking for ad formats that respect users’ time while still delivering real engagement. And that’s exactly why QSApp was creating waves at the event: as the no-code secret weapon for building interactive campaigns that stand out, load fast, and embed anywhere.
Oh, and in case you were wondering: yes, our founders survived the Sandworm. Barely. 🐛
🌆 NYC: Three Events, One Clear Message: QSApp Has a Place
At the start of September, our CEO, Elina, headed to New York City for a packed week of events, each offering valuable insight, connections, and confirmation that we’re on the right path with QSApp.
Here’s what was on the agenda:
- New York Venture Summit: A top-tier meeting ground for startups and investors.
- Nordic AI Night: Showcasing some of the most exciting AI innovations coming out of the Nordics.
- Smartly’s Advance 2025: A forward-looking gathering of marketing platforms, brand builders, and creative disruptors.
🚀 Elina’s Key Takeaways from NYC:
“Finnish AI startups are on fire: strong energy and performance at Nordic AI Night.”
“Marketing is evolving: it’s no longer just about selling, it’s about sharing positive, inclusive, and meaningful messages.”
“Smartly’s Advance was stacked: A stellar speaker lineup and lots of insightful conversations, especially around AI’s growing role in marketing.”
“Most importantly: there’s a clear and growing need for QSApp. Everyone I spoke with echoed the same insight: interactive ads consistently outperform video, and there’s rising demand for tools that make building them easier, faster, and more accessible.”
Phew, it’s been a packed few months, and yep, you guessed it, no rest for the wicked. Next week, as October kicks off, it’s time for Finnish Games Week, and we’re back on home turf for PGC Helsinki!
Our team is ready to welcome industry friends to our beautiful hometown, and you’ll spot our Quicksave sleeves at multiple events throughout the week.
See you there, and let’s catch up next month!
