In the world of strategy consulting, everyone seems to be singing the same song: transformation, innovation, disruption. Terms used so frequently that they've lost their power. For top talent, it's becoming increasingly difficult to see the difference between the big names – they all chase the same candidates with almost identical propositions.
For Roland Berger – one of Europe's most respected strategy consulting firms – this was a critical moment. While the Big4 dominate the headlines, Roland Berger possesses something unique: true European roots, an entrepreneurial spirit, and the charm of a scaled boutique consultancy. But how do you tell that story in a market flooded with consultancy clichés?
Time to stop following the chorus, and compose a melody of your own.
We engaged in conversations where it truly matters: Senior Partners from departments like FMCG and Automotive & Mobility. No polished corporate talk, but authentic stories about daily challenges, breakthrough moments, and what drives them. These in-depth interviews formed the basis for content that goes beyond standard recruitment rhetoric. We transformed these interviews into powerful videos, specially designed for online advertising. Short, impactful stories that take potential candidates into the reality of working at Roland Berger—from boardroom to brainstorming session. Content that stands out in a feed full of generic consultancy content.
Additionally, we wrote testimonials that provide a unique insight into the Roland Berger culture. The perfect complement to job postings. This content was strategically used in digital marketing campaigns that we continuously monitored and optimized. From A/B testing different storylines to precise conversion measurement per target audience. This way, we not only saw which content worked best but could adjust in real-time for maximum impact.
The result? A recruitment strategy that doesn't tell who Roland Berger is, but shows it through the eyes of those who make a difference every day.
