Aldi Nord Launches Career Bus Campaign with Creators

Aldi Nord is launching a new employer branding campaign titled 'Aldi Nord Karriere on Tour' to attract young talent for apprenticeships. The discounter has partnered with three social media creators—Ryko, Rosemondy, and Showtime—who will travel in a specially designed career bus to various Aldi Nord locations, including a store in Gütersloh, a market in Döbeln, and the logistics center in Nortorf. The campaign includes a tour vlog and a video podcast where the creators discuss apprenticeship experiences with trainees. The initiative is executed by Dentsu Creative, which became Aldi Nord's new lead agency for employer branding at the start of the year. The campaign aims to showcase diverse career opportunities within Aldi Nord, addressing a projected shortage of over 700,000 skilled workers in Germany by 2029.

All Media is Commerce Media: The Infinite Storefront
