Nope—not lottery numbers. But if you ask me, they’re just as lucky. 🌟

This past week, DEBA Deutsche Employer Branding Akademie GmbH held the 24th EBM Academy Module 1, with 26 passionate professionals, and they brought their energy, insights, and curiosity into a full-fledged 3-day program with experts. 

We didn’t just talk theory. We explored real-world strategies, dissected case studies, and co-created ideas that will echo through the workplaces of tomorrow.

💡 Because here’s the truth: Employer branding isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a strategic priority.

The organizations that choose to invest in it today are not just preparing for the future—they’re building it.

The future isn’t “out there.”
 It’s already here.
And it belongs to those bold enough to lead now.

🚀 To our 26 changemakers—we’re cheering you on!

Myth #4: Employer branding is what you say.

It’s not.
It’s about what people experience.

You can claim, "We care about people" in every post and at every town hall meeting.

But if your culture says otherwise, your employees will see it. 
So will your candidates. 
So will your business partners.

Any employer brand can collapse because the story looks good but does not feel true.

Brands aren’t built on what you publish.
They’re built on how you act.

 👉 How do you make sure your culture feels as true as it sounds?
