Brands & marketing

Brands, launches, campaigns and market strategies: real cases from Italian and international companies, seen through the eyes of a communication pro.


  • The new pharmacy marketing

    Pharmacies increasingly look like regular stores, with checkout deals and aisles laid out like a highway rest stop. A look at how pharmaceutical marketing evolved, in Italy and abroad.

  • Vegan marketing: the scenario

    The marketing of vegan products in Italy and worldwide: data, benefits, limits and environmental impact, seen through my own halfway journey with tofu, plant drinks and chickpea flour.

  • Marketplaces in China on trial

    A 550-million fine against AliExpress reopens the debate on Chinese marketplaces. Between record growth, risky items and suspected exploitation, what does low-cost shopping really hide?

  • Shrinkflation hits your cart

    My toothpaste runs out too fast and childhood ice creams look tiny: the data, laws and consumer pushback behind packages that keep shrinking while their prices stay exactly the same.

  • Vintage labels and identity

    From a Plasmon box found on an urbex exploration to Baci, Leone, and the Danish blue tin: why labels faithful to their original layout build customer loyalty, with the data to prove it.

  • The subtle art of influencing

    The ability to influence has psychological roots and is now a profession. The training at PayPal, its effects on my negotiation, a soft spot for mediation, and the idea of studying psychology.

  • Poets, Futurists & brand naming

    From La Rinascente to Parrozzo: D’Annunzio, the Futurists, and the artists who christened 20th-century brands. With a reflection on schwas, asterisks, and the words that actually stick.

  • FIFA, the logos, and censorship

    At the 2026 World Cup, the real marketing win didn’t come from an official sponsor: FIFA’s own anti-logo rule backfired, and Gillette, Levi’s and Heinz quickly cashed in on it all.

  • The Coca-Cola plan for Abruzzo

    There was a giant Coca-Cola bottle in Pescara: a childhood memory. That plant is long gone, but investment in Abruzzo hasn’t stopped: less water used, fewer kilometers driven, and more jobs.

  • The new wine marketing

    From wine shops to online carts, from vineyard aperitivos to old-fashioned phone calls: how wine marketing has changed in Italy, through industry data, real stories, and the Citra case.

  • Alfa Romeo: a family legend

    I carry my father’s driving license with me. A devoted Alfa man: Alfetta, Alfa 75, then Lancia. Today’s market is hybrid and electric. What would he have driven? The Giulia, most likely.

  • Summer and the Ferrero ice-creams

    Every summer Ferrero pulls Rocher, Pocket Coffee and Mon Chéri from shelves to protect their quality, replacing them with an ice cream range that grew 42% in four years. The myth holds.
