Kristina SchulteDecember 4, 2012 3:24 pmCareer Talk, On-the-Job Records

Representing the adidas Group at a career fair is something really special and exciting. Since finishing the functional trainee program in Human Resources, I have worked with our Talent Acquisition team for the region EMEA. In my role here, I am also responsible for organising and participating in career fairs at different universities throughout Germany.

Every day at a career fair is very exciting and different every time. We meet you – currently, students and graduates – our potential future talents, which is very inspiring for us.

Just recently, adidas was awarded a Global Fashion Award by WGSN. This award recognizes brilliance in fashion and retail design across the globe. adidas was chosen to receive the award for the Best Sports/Activewear Design Team 2012. The award was presented to us for our overall design image as a brand in 2012, with exceptional mention of our presence at the Olympic Games. It is an award for both adidas Sport Performance as well as the adidas Style division. The two world-class design teams are led by Dirk Schönberger and James Carnes. On the occasion of this amazing recognition, I was able to talk to James Carnes, adidas’ Global Creative Director for performance, to get his insights on what makes the adidas design team special and what the future of design in the sporting goods industry is.

You ask us what Selenators are? Well, Selenators are fans of Selena Gomez. And if you are not a fan of her yet, you should definitely think about becoming one. The adidas NEO Label announced Selena as their new global style icon and Los Angeles woke up to some colorful hijinks today with bright green paint, posters, and streamers spread across the city as actress, recording artist, and designer, Selena Gomez and a band of teens celebrated her new partnership with adidas NEO Label. Selena Gomez will be the adidas NEO Label’s new global style icon and guest designer through a three-year partnership until the end of 2015.

Click-Tip: “Reebok Reeborn?”

The following text is from our annual report: “Inspired by its roots in fitness, Reebok is a global sports brand that is committed to empowering consumers to be ‘fit for life’. Reebok’s mission is to challenge and lead the fitness world through creativity.” I now came across a blog post from Bonnie Pfiester, a fitness model and columnist, who definitely provides prove for this commitment to fitness. Bonnie recently visited our Reebok headquarters and got an inside look in the company. She says that she has never been a Reebok fan…this seems to have changed for several reasons. Check out her blog: “Reebok Reeborn? Sneak Peek of Sneaker Town 2013”
