THE ROLE AND THE TEAM
We are the growing product and tech team in Content Solutions and are building a platform dedicated to creating fashion content.

Currently, our products support the production of media and enrichment of 1000s products a day, enable the creation and localisation of 100s of campaigns a month, and build tools that support operations in the Lounge and Fashion Store studios in Berlin and studio partners across Europe.

In 2025, we are expanding our teams to leverage AI for content creation and building teams dedicated to implementing AI at scale to create both product and editorial imagery. And, looking to the future, what are the commercial opportunities this might unlock in collaboration with ZMS and ZEOS.
