Step Inside: Tetra Pak

The Challange

Tetra Pak wanted to strengthen its employer brand among students and young professionals and increase awareness of global career opportunities within the company. Although well-known as a product brand, many candidates lacked understanding of the scope of Tetra Pak’s innovation, sustainability initiatives and career paths—especially outside the engineering field.

A key challenge was to reach highly qualified talent across multiple disciplines (engineering, business, finance, sustainability, IT, etc.) and inspire them to see themselves as future employees at Tetra Pak. The company also wanted to highlight its Future Talent Programme and position itself as an attractive employer internationally, while promoting diversity and inclusion.

The Solution: A virtual employer branding event

Together with Virtual Days, Tetra Pak developed STEP INSIDE Tetra Pak, a tailored digital career event designed exclusively to showcase the company’s culture, innovation and entry-level opportunities.

The event combined:

  • Inspirational keynote sessions from senior leaders and Future Talent alumni
  • Interactive virtual booths focused on Recruitment, Technology and Future Talent Programme
  • Live chats and informal meetings with Tetra Pak professionals
  • Integrated employer branding, sustainability messaging and personal career stories

All marketing assets were produced by Virtual Days, ensuring brand alignment and a clear employer value proposition. Targeted outreach via email, social media and ambassador networks helped attract highly matched candidates.

Event Marketing & Outreach

To ensure strong visibility and attract highly relevant candidates, the event was supported by a targeted multi-channel marketing strategy designed and executed together with Virtual Days.

Virtual Days created all event marketing materials — including graphics and campaign assets — aligned with Tetra Pak’s employer branding guidelines. A precision-targeted email campaign was sent to 30,000 student profiles from the Virtual Days network.

In addition, Tetra Pak activated its own email marketing channels to extend the reach to students and recent graduates. The campaign was further supported by internal ambassadors who shared event materials within their networks, strengthening both credibility and visibility. Social media promotion — with a primary focus on LinkedIn — amplified the campaign and contributed to strong international participation.

Together, these efforts enabled Tetra Pak to rapidly drive engagement across 63 countries, showcasing the impact of combining branded digital events with strategic outreach.
