Media Designer Apprenticeship (m/f/d) 2027
From Instagram and the website to catalogues and packaging, right through to photos and videos – as a media designer, you ensure that addi not only makes great products, but also makes them look really good. Whether on the website or in-store.
Are you creative, do you have an eye for design, and are you also interested in digital media? Do you want to bring your ideas to life – not just keep them in your head – but put them on screen, online and on paper? Then you’ve come to the right place.
As a Digital and Print Media Designer at addi, you’ll be part of our creative corporate communications team.
Our knitting needles and crochet hooks are sold in many countries around the world – and the media we use to showcase our products and our brand are just as diverse.
You’ll develop design concepts, edit images, create graphics and adapt content for a range of digital and print media. In doing so, you’ll learn that good design isn’t just about looking good: it must be suited to the brand, the target audience and the medium in question.
And because, for us, marketing isn’t just about sitting at a desk, you’ll also gain an insight into our products, our production processes, events and many other areas of the addi business.

Working at addi
addi, or rather the Selter company, is a successful family-run business with more than 100 employees, situated in the lush heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Sauerland. This is where innovation meets tradition. For although we keep both feet firmly on the ground, our minds often wander among the clouds – and that is how, ever since 1829, we have continually come up with ideas for new products and solutions, which we then successfully bring to market.
Here in our valley, we manufacture top-quality knitting needles and crochet hooks under the brand name “addi” and ship them to customers in more than 60 different countries - we therefore feel quite globalised when we can speak english, french or turkish with clients and offer various translations.
