Marketing Director (m/w/d)
For the night from Thursday to Sunday.
An old van, a few euros in your pocket and a desire for independence. That's all it takes to get started.
Because every university programme comes to an end at some point, Mirco and Lorenz asked themselves the big question in 2002: Where to go with the meaning of life? The answer: Where they like to be themselves - in their favourite café, their favourite bar or directly on the beach. A kola was needed - as a cultural asset, not as a mass-produced commodity. No sooner said than done, the recipe was developed - not too sweet, but with plenty of caffeine to be able to take a lot of the night with you. Plus black and white faces printed on beer bottles, with a name as honestly hanseatic as the cosmopolitan hometown. Allow me, fritz.
Today we are a fast-growing, independent and owner-managed kola-company with a strong brand identity and a bold mission: to challenge the status quo in the beverage industry. With roots in Hamburg and a rebellious spirit, we combine creativity, sustainability, and authenticity to drive impact across markets.
For our fritz HQ in Hamburg we are looking for you at the earliest possible date in full time as
