"TMB21 was an exceptional experience as everything was happening online for the first time. But it was no less fun in any way! Turning the creative assignment’s motto „together apart“ into a captivating video was the best start to get to know the team members. And indeed, we overcame the physical distance by each of us shooting short videos which were then cut together into one coherent story. After that, our team members felt closer to each other and even more empowered for our final presentation."

“The get-together of the group and getting to know each other made the first day of Talent Meets Bertelsmann very special. And of course, the deep dive into the group roles. First you have to find your place in the group pretty quickly, then come out of your comfort zone.”

"Talent Meets Bertelsmann is much more than just a recruiting event, it really IS a networking extravaganza. On the first day, Bertelsmann asked us to work on a creative task, which was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to get to know our team members."

“TMB was very special because of all the new people I met. It was an outstanding bunch of great individuals coming from different backgrounds and locations. Also, the pace at which we worked was incredible. I hardly remember any occasion where I needed to elaborate something that quickly.”

"TMB was the most amazing experience. I got to meet so many outstanding people and learned a lot professionally and also about myself. One of the highlights was presenting our workshop results in front of the jury. They were so appreciative and sincerely interested in our thoughts and ideas that we were invited to pitch our idea to representatives from Mediengruppe RTL. We are still in touch with them, talking about opportunities for collaboration."

“I enjoyed most how interactive the audience was. It was also good to see how interested the Board members of Bertelsmann were and how involved they got with our presentation and our questions. And, of course, the applause in the end and the positive feedback we got for our presentation. That was really incredible.”

"All in all TMB was a successful event, where I learned a lot and gained great impressions! In particular, I liked the presentation of the workshop results. It was great to get the chance to present our ideas in front of the business representatives and obtain their feedback."

"TMB is a great opportunity to take a look into so many interesting facets of Bertelsmann and to present your ideas and visions in front of the Bertelsmann Board."

After the event, TMB participants become part of the exclusive Talent Meets Bertelsmann community, which includes more than 700 outstanding members and grows every year. It allows our talents to stay in touch with Bertelsmann and other TMB alumni via regular communication, a yearly alumni reunion in Berlin as well as regional meet-ups throughout the year.
