Challenge

Shift Lidl’s perception as an employer

Because honestly, it could be better. Strange, really. Because when you talk to employees, you hear nothing but strong, positive stories. They just weren’t being told. Until now.

Straight talk

Lidl is a brand with character. So the employer brand needed the same. And you don’t build character with polished headlines. We let employees speak for themselves. Unfiltered. Honest. From “real career growth” to “earning enough to support three kids” — with this many stories, everyone finds one they relate to.

Inside #teamlidl

We spoke to 90 people across stores, distribution centres and headquarters. No stiff interviews. Just real conversations. Those talks delivered a wide range of stories. The strongest quotes became the backbone of the awareness campaign. Combined with spontaneous, unposed portraits, they gave Lidl jobs a voice and a face: those of the employees.
