In the final episode of the season we check-in with a Bigwig that spans the entire city of Berlin, existed in the days of horse-and-cart and will probably continue to influence our lives for generations to come: The BVG. The BVG may have started as a transport company, but it has become a firm favourite in the world of advertising and marketing with its hilariously self-aware campaigns, political weigh-ins and smart collaborations. Jill and Julia are joined by the BVG’s Social Media Manager, Thilo Stracke, to learn all about the inner workings of the BVG, the “shitstorm” turned marketing genius that was their “Weil wir dich Lieben” campaign, the stresses of the job for train, bus and tram drivers, how Corona has affected the company and of course that infamous Adidas Shoe. Thank you Thilo for chatting with us, and Pirate Studios and RØDE for making our recordings possible.
