format development
Formats are the framing and therefore also the door opener to unforgettable user experiences:
Viewing experiences in series turn people into followers and also brand the broadcasters and streamers who provide these experiences. The development of sustainable formats is therefore a supreme discipline of the media universe.
Bernd’s development is characterized by maximum authenticity, the format he created ‘Between Tulle and Tears’ shows women in search of their wedding dress. Real. Diverse. Humorous. To be seen daily on VOX since 2016 (!).
