The new claim of ALDI SÜD "Something good for everybody", should be promoted and positively charged in the young target group. Correspondingly, a viral TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube video series was produced to create a high buzz within Gen Z while simultaneously taking a stance. Additionally, ALDI SÜD as a brand in general should be strengthened, profiling, and relevance in the U40 target group.

Deutsche Post DHL

TikTok recruiting offensive #Ichfindsgut

I like it that the nice DHL courier delivers my parcels every day despite the labor shortage, and the friendly mail carrier does the same. I like it that Deutsche Post and DHL reach out to young job seekers where they hang out. On TikTok. I like it that the job campaign features real people and their (real) words. “I like it” is the new HR campaign from Deutsche Post and DHL.

Many people are unaware of the advantages that the new mobile network generation, 5G, offers. Our campaign demonstrated that Telekom has the largest 5G network in Germany and a great passion for 5G. Understanding and authenticity were particularly important to us when targeting the younger audience. With success: 62.5 million impressions, 8,000 new followers, and more than 140,000 interactions.
