Documentary insights into the German economy

The OMR Original documentary series features unique stories from the German business world, providing a glimpse behind the scenes of fast-growing startups, influential companies from the marketing world and unique careers in the media industry. Previous releases include a portrait of former star and since convicted executive Thomas Middelhoff ("Middelhoff - Der krasse Fall eines Managers") and the German advertising agency Jung von Matt ("Dreißig Jahre unzufrieden - Die Jung von Matt Story"). This was followed in 2023 by "Hell of a Ride - The Unique Story of Gorillas," an OMR Original about the rise of the fast delivery service Gorillas, which performed spectacularly at first, but then sold at a fraction of its initial billion-dollar value. All OMR Originals released so far have been created in collaboration with external production companies and are available on OMR's YouTube channel.
