Staying close to our customers and supporting change.

Media

Media are an integral part of human history. From the cave paintings of the Stone Age to the today’s TikTok videos, people have always looked for new ways to communicate – ways that fit the times and the pace. Which explains why established business models are under constant pressure and some are disappearing altogether. Creating alternative value requires creativity and the courage to take different paths. It requires vision and passion – and prudent decision-making, too.

Topics we know inside out: transformation, interactivity, quotas, quality, acceptance, agility, the consumer as actor, the battle for credibility, acceptance and raison d’être, diversification, infotainment.

“If my client isn’t convinced, if their gut feeling isn’t right, then there’s only one solution: to be patient, and keep looking. Or to look at it all again in a completely different way. To find the right fit where it might not be immediately obvious. You need to have a clear idea but stay wide open about it – so you can find what you can’t concretely plan.”

— Dr. Maik Lehmann

Facing change with solid ideas and determination.

The media industry needs forward-looking personalities who can push ideas forward in a targeted way. People who grow along with changing requirements – and who see them as a challenge to continuously question the company’s positioning. Who develop new perspectives and make the most of their potential.

We support media companies, both public and private, in implementing their strategic decisions and reorientations. Across the entire spectrum of the media value chain, from producers and service providers to publishers and media companies. Whether medium-sized companies or large, internationally active groups. What they all have in common? Their expectation from us: a tailor-made HR solution.
