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.
This is a standard employer branding campaign by a retail company, relevant within the retail sector but of limited impact to the broader AdTech/MarTech industry.

Robot vs. Human: Edeka's Hilarious Career Campaign
German supermarket group Edeka ran a social-media recruiting campaign that staged a fictional robot called the "Azubot" performing typical trainee (Azubi) tasks. The campaign launched on Edeka’s TikTok and Instagram career channels and combined an initial teaser showing the robot with a follow-up main film that revealed a twist: the stunt was an awareness-driven recruiting spot emphasizing that human apprentices, with their imperfections and emotional engagement, make the difference in retail. The one-and-a-half-minute spot and supporting Reels were produced by Berlin creative agency Dojo and ran from January 27 to February 12. Edeka enlisted the creator @karriereguru in paid partnership during the first phase and featured Frankfurt rappers Celo & Abdi. Peter Keitel, Edeka’s board member for HR and Finance, reiterated that technology supports but does not replace people and highlighted Edeka’s broad apprenticeship offering.
