A digital mastermind, art historian, entrepreneur, publisher and visionary, his creative drive has made Hubert Burda Media one of Europe's standout and most modern media players.
New year, new name: The internationally operating business unit BurdaCreative, which focuses on crafting, now bears the name Burda Create!. This means that Europe’s leading handicrafts platform will operate under a single umbrella brand, one that pursues a clear mission of continuous growth and further expansions within the sewing, knitting and crocheting segments.
Call for creativity!
"The familiar letters of the Burda logo find a whimsical yet recognizable echo in a new design that people will instantly associate with handicrafts. We are hoping this call to ‘Create!’ encourages our customers to unleash their artistic potential and pursue their own projects. Not only do our products offer inspiration – they also provide detailed instructions."
Henning Röper, CEO of Burda Create!
