Working at VNU

People inform People
Information services are a people business. For that reason VNU devotes a great deal of attention to the people who are constantly working on the composition of our products: tailor-made marketing information, trade magazines, trade shows and Internet sites.

VNU employs approximately 38,000 people in over one hundred countries. Our wide and multifaceted range of products and services demands specialized men and woman for a great diversity of disciplines. They range from specialists in the field of information and communications, market researchers, marketing experts and advertising sales representatives to journalists, designers, photographers, business specialists and economists.

Still, throughout the whole, all these VNU people have certain things in common. Entrepreneurial attitude for example. No business moves as fast as the information business that we are active in. This requires a focus on news and innovation. The same goes for the creativity to cope with business dynamics. That's why hands-on management is found throughout all VNU companies. Another distinguishing characteristic is the pride that people at VNU have for their products.
