Film, TV, Radio & Web in Berlin

In the film and TV industry alone, there are over 4,000 companies in Berlin, generating revenue of EUR 1.9 billion. Every year, more than 300 films are produced at Studio Babelsberg, the Berliner Union Film Ateliers studios and other attractive locations. Thanks to its excellent infrastructure, the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region provides optimum production and partnership conditions. Jobs are available in technology, (post) production, set design, special effects, wardrobe and casting. And there are also excellent job opportunities for commercial staff, IT professionals, lawyers, HR managers and office managers in Berlin’s media landscape. 

During the transformation in the audiovisual media market towards video-on-demand, web-TV, video portals and multi-channel networks, successful start-ups such as MCNs Collective Studio71, WeAreEra and YouTube Space have opened subsidiaries in Berlin. Just like the broadcasters RBB, NTV and the main studios of ARD, ZDF and RTL, these companies are all potential employers. Of course, this also applies to the radio stations based here, such as Energy Berlin, Fritz, 105’5 Spreeradio and 98.8 Kiss FM, for example.

Printing Industry in Berlin

Berlin’s printing industry comprises approx. 55 companies and 6,000 employees. Due to the many daily newspapers, magazines and books, as well as the daily production of official documents (ID papers, certificates, bank notes) needed by the capital’s almost 3.7 million residents, many small and large printing firms can be found in the capital, which handle this daily print volume. The Bundesdruckerei, Laserline and Pinguin Druck are just a few examples of companies that could be potential employers. Begin your job search now! It will be worth your while.
