Viral Vegans is widely covered by Finland's most prominent media organizations, including Helsingin Sanomat and the Finnish Broadcasting Company. Our co-founder Benjamin Pitkänen is one of Finland's most requested vegan activists for interviews and keynote speeches.

Our weekly podcast Vegaaneista tykkään (I like vegans) is launched and is now Finland's most popular animal rights/vegan podcast. The podcast has featured celebrities, journalists, scientists and politicians. As of May 2024, the podcast has grossed over 180,000 listens.

We build a strong community of vegans by arranging street activism, movie nights, and livestreams. Our biggest audience is young people aged 15-35. We begin video production and daily uploads on TikTok.

Our monthly audience reached a whopping 300,000 to 1,700,000 monthly, counting all our social media. We increased the number of high-quality videos and provided fact-checking in a much-needed environment, especially during the Finnish parliamentary elections.

We held a panel discussion at SuomiAreena, Finland's biggest public debate forum, with a well-known vegan politician, non-fiction writer, and actress. At the event, we fostered great networks with leading figures in Finland and discussed veganism and animal rights issues with politicians and other influential people.

Our team grows in addition to our co-founders, Benjamin Pitkänen (Executive director) and Pavel Tahkovuori (Creative director), as Viral Vegans hires a Communication Manager, Tiina Vuolle. Our team of volunteers consists of 10 people.

Our co-founders signed a book deal with a release date set in August 2024. Into, one of the most significant Finnish publishing houses, is publishing the book. The book is positioned to reach a vast readership, bolstered by Pitkänen's standing as one of Finland's most famous vegan activists.
