In close collaboration with dm branches in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe, more than 50 creative minds manage and develop the strategy and e-commerce platforms for dm in these countries, while also taking care of all other online activities such as social media, CRM, digital branding, campaigns, and content marketing.
