Head Bands That European Soccer Players Wear?

"THE MADE IN ITALY THERE "is what has produced the incorrect operation but effective brand management

ISSUE No. 5 BLOG MARKETING

(Time Reading 5 minutes)

This time I will speak neither a real marketing strategy or a case history.

would like to share with you some reflections related to the much-abused term "Made in Italy".

Meanwhile, do not deny that I find it quite remarkable that a quality label that would identify an Italian product, whether written in English. I always thought that, despite globalization, when you have a strong product, it is necessary to know and identify the market through its original features. Like the French, who chose a Fabriqué en France. Before contradiction.


The second contradiction is also interesting, and we meet just when we start talking about globalization. I wonder, how do you mark a product "Made in Italy" when you put it in production across the world at virtually no cost of production and then sell it on the Italian market at a price that makes you think has been done in a suite of the best hotel in Rome?


How do you mark a product "Made in Italy", if in fact that product in most cases: it is manufactured by Italian workers, is not made of Italian materials and in some cases not even a Italian concept.
's right, even an Italian concept. Did you know for example that some designers, especially with regard to jeans and T-shirt did not even send the models to be packaged in China, but choose the model that the Chinese send him? Curious is not it? But it is.

Over the years it has created a brand, through specific strategies of brand management and brand credibility that led the market did not notice the lie on which everything has its roots.

be clear, some good Italian company that is able to overcome their challenges is playing clean, but I assure you, if you get up the rocks to see what's underneath, you'll find some surprises to say the least interesting.

For example, you know that even the icon of "Made in Italy" is a hoax?
not tell me that you noticed! I am referring to the car par excellence, one that has "driven" and that Italy is back in great shape a few years ago, between glitter and Italian flags.


sure you understand what I'm talking about. Go and see the extraordinary fact that spot was made for the launch, very hard, you will definitely proud of being Italian and Ricky Tognazzi's voice will make you shudder.

Here's the link:

Beautiful is not it? Too bad that many of those great people there are more, indeed, I'll tell you, I wonder what those great people would think if he told you the truth, namely that the machine in question are in Poland. That's right, "Made in Poland" or "Polska" if you prefer.

Thanks to strategies of "positioning cultural "you can do that too. Fico no? Well, not really.

I find it unethical to push a product, like a national icon making do abroad. Here truth is not hidden, but manipulated by the "P" for the promotion and all its subcategories.

And if we add the price policy through which, the factory in Poland and we pay as if it were made in Italy. But in a suite at the Golden Palace in Turin this time ... I wonder

those personalities that are gone, what he thought of how we have reduced by now as we left the real values \u200b\u200bto live in an environment full of simple perceived values, but above all, Falcone and Borsellino (also present in the spot), like good southern, what would think if they knew that the Italian icon is manufactured in Poland and Termini Imerese is closing?

This is not an attack on a company in particular is a reflection on a system that is about to implode and that before long, because of his "stand on anything" will become unmanageable for us, too technical.

need a real awareness on the part of us all and especially a set of concrete actions of remediation strategies. We need to work on the product and balance and respect that there must be something between those who enter and the market.

we do it? I think we should do it. I'll try and know that probably I will need you.

Vademecum User rail

presented April 23 during a press conference at the Bologna Center of Emilia Romagna in the presence of Federconsumatori Trefiletti Rosario, national president of the association, the handbook for the user rail , undertaken by the agency in collaboration with Federconsumatori Communication & Negrini Varetto Carpi (MO), is a "Practical Guide for the traveler" that aims to illustrate through text easy to read and attractive graphics, the main innovations introduced by Trenitalia concerning the compensation, reimbursement and claims after the entry into force on 3 December 2009, the new European Regulation.

Popular in 15,000 copies at major railway stations across the region and the nine provincial offices and the regional headquarters of Federconsumatori Emilia Romagna, the Handbook for the user relies on rail cartoons designed by Emanuel Simoncini the representation of the most complained about poor service by travelers Regional: the unjustified increase in travel time of local trains, a fleet of old and inefficient (30 years, the average age of the regional trains), the reduction of scheduled stops for Eurostar trains and regional routes in EurostarCity resulting penalty for users, the sharp increase in rates not associated with the improvement of the service, the disappearance of the facilities to purchase online (save 5%) and worsening of conditions for the bonus delays, finally, the continued presence of construction sites in Bologna railway junction without causing inconvenience and disruption that is fixed with certainty the date of completion of work. A

cahier de doleance not without of irony where Federconsumatori, an association that protects the rights of citizens as users and consumers, takes this opportunity to call a real intention of the European legislature, which approved the new European Regulation: the desire to set minimum levels of protection for travelers, especially with regard to persons with disabilities or reduced mobility. Federconsumatori points out that it was not the intention of European legislators to lower the levels of protection of passengers carried out but to push all EU countries to adopt a minimum common best practices.

The booklet, produced as part of the overall operation of the Emilia Romagna through dedicated funds of the Ministry of Economic Development, has 16 pages with explanatory text, pills summary of the hot topics on the lateral bands, the comment of Federconsumatori and a cartoon. In the texts, edited by Giuseppe Poli Federconsumatori of Emilia Romagna with the support of Negrini & Varetto that followed the art direction and layout of the file, are intuitively useful telephone numbers, Internet addresses, along with clear tables for comparison and conditions for reimbursement.

The initiative aims to give voice to the discomfort of many people struggling with daily outages of any kind: dirt, delays, lack of heating or cooling depending on of the season, deleting or interruptions not reported. Historic railways to the evils that always provide plenty of ideas to satirical cartoons and joins the call of Federconsumatori to vigilance in the protection of rights "for people with reduced mobility have the same right as all other citizens to not discrimination "and that in particular" should be able to buy tickets without bonuses "and then go through without telephone numbers for a fee.

The file is downloadable and browsable on-line at this link:

Giuseppe Poli, Coordinator of the Regional Transportation Federconsumatori Emilia Romagna, presenting the brochure said "For users accounts never return: the train of desires into reality is always backwards. While discomfort and inefficiency are immediate, the improvement is not reflected repeatedly promised at the time of use of rail transport. "
"I am grateful to Federconsumatori Emilia-Romagna for the opportunity and the confidence to Varetto & Negrini," said Claudio Varetto a founding member and creative director of the agency. "I believe that the Road Map for concept, graphic design and visual fits fully in the mainstream of social communication, playing with wit and grace the grounds of the stakeholder Federconsumatori.

Eurosport Elliptical Trainer Review

" lipdub FROM THE WEB INTRO TO TELEVISION ... NOTHING NEW IN TV ... EVEN THE MUSIC "Success Story copied from Web TV

ISSUE N ° 4 BLOG MARKETING

(reading time 6 minutes)


From Talentrama.com : A lipdub is a form of collective art. Indeed, to achieve a lipdub many participants are needed in order to make it beautiful and sensational. In practice, the basic sound is original, and participants do not have to do is follow the music, preferably move with the lip synchrony and know the lyrics. The recovery of the camera can not be interrupted, ie, that the beginning of the song at the end, the movie is continuous without interruption, otherwise the lipdub is considered invalid. Director of a lipdub all art forms are welcome and every free rein of imagination, with a recommendation: the more people there are more lipdub will be nice!

____________________________________________

What I illustrate in this post, is a very interesting case history, which saw a successful product published on the internet literally copied from a known Italian television program.

On September 10, 2009, 173 students of communication at the University of Quebec at Montreal (UQAM), participated in an art project, known as lipdub, to the tune of a hit pop group Black Eyed Peas on "I gotta feeling ".

The director of the video is called Luc-Olivier, and in collaboration with Marie-Eve Hébert has produced and packaged in just 24 hours, a video from the last 4 minutes and 55 seconds (with their backstage), published in the Youtube platform . com on 11 September last

think that dall'undici September 2009 to 23 March 2010 (6 months) views were 5,269,301 ... Not bad right?

Such an artistic success and number could not pass unnoticed in the watchful eye of broadcast TV.

And so the idea is "borrowed" from a major Italian reality show, now in its tenth edition, the edition that begins the finale just ended with a beautiful copy / paste the initiative.

like gloss over the inadequacy and intellectual arrogance that, given the massive resources available, technical, legal and autorale in terms of professionalism, he did think it best to copy a piece of art rather than creating something new.

And I hope also that it is quite clear that I decided to write this post aware that it is not the first time that an idea taken from the web is transferred on television, but it is the first time that happened in these specific terms is copied from the web. Emphasizes the word "copied", because the overpaid authors of the program, you may now trivially refuge behind the hypocrisy of the homage to the original, have not even committed to finding another piece of music and other details (eg signs) to package their product.

This creates an important precedent, which demonstrates how a simple, dynamic, able to "do school", and will not simply be a source of inspiration, but even perceived as an enzyme volume for the television audience.

To demonstrate this, consider that the product in question was chosen as the intro to the episode, with all the communicative potential and coupling that ensues.

like at the end of my post, do my congratulations to Luc-Olivier Hébert and Marie-Eve, not only for the product, but also for the dissemination strategy they have chosen to transform all the more than 170 "players" in multipliers involved "not only to the active dissemination of the project but also the volumes. Again
social networks have made the lion's share, as well as the communication platform available to the campus.

Below I have put the links of the videos that I've described, I'd have a comment about the object of this cue that I wish to share with you.

As always, your every suggestion is for me and other readers of this blog valuable.

Thank you for your attention and the next.
Emmanuel Macaluso
