Martina Maier, Manager New Business, BurdaStyle:

“My job involves developing new business models for our existing brand portfolio. This requires both business acumen and creativity – the ideal combination for me. I find it particularly fascinating to interpret multifaceted brands and put myself in the shoes of different target groups. In my two and a half years at the company, Burda has become a huge family for me. You are soon on equal terms with your colleagues, find people throughout the organisation to support new projects and celebrate successes together.”

Ulrich Herrenweger, Head of Product Management Digital & New Business at BurdaHome:

“Together with my team, I am responsible for digital food products and new business at BurdaHome. This includes developing digital business models and product visions derived from these, identifying business opportunities and operational implementation in agile and interdisciplinary teams of experts. As a former company founder, I am used to a strong hands-on and start-up mentality and have always taught myself the skills required to do my work. From the outset, Burda allowed me to continue to determine how I worked, with an entrepreneurial and holistic approach. Ideas, skills and personal strengths that go beyond my job description are also extremely welcome and confirmed by an inspiring and encouraging managerial team and the conferring of responsibility.”

Jan David Sutthoff, Editorial Team Leader Video at The Huffington Post:

“What is the best way to tell a story through video? What new formats do we need to develop to inspire people, particularly on social networks? Can we come up with something that no other medium has done? These are the questions that I and the team at the Huffington Post Germany try to answer. And it’s great, because one thing is always certain: We will come up with something. We are a young team with plenty of ideas. And we try them all. And this is what I particularly like about this place. At the Huffington Post, we can access content from our huge international network. It’s brilliant.”
