620 Passi, the Friuli-based start-up known for founding Italy's first shared brewery, entrusted Udine-based agency PM2 with management of all its communications initiatives for 2022-2023.

The confirmation of the assignment sealed a partnership that began back in 2021 when 620 Passi called a tender and selected PM2 to validate and define the brewery's brand positioning and support the launch of a Christmas communication campaign. Alongside these strategic consulting services, Giacomo Miranda's agency will continue to manage a considerable range of services on behalf of the client, including PR activities, press office, influencer marketing, digital marketing, social media management, marketing automation, and BTL communication for the on-trade and large-scale distribution channels.

"We are proud to be able to provide our services to a local enterprise that is truly unique at the national level and has already demonstrated enormous potential for communication. Thanks to the highly qualified background of its management and the valuable harmony instantly established with the agency team, 620 Passi is the perfect interlocutor for developing integrated communication projects rooted in a solid strategic approach," says Miranda, CEO of PM2.

The renewal of the partnership with PM2 marks an important turning point for 620 Passi, which is now working on an ambitious development plan that aims to close the year 2022 with +400% turnover, effectively completing the transition from start-up to scale-up by the end of the year.

"Never change a winning team", comments Andrea Menegon, formerly working at Heineken and now General Manager of 620 Passi. "PM2 is the ideal partner for us, not only because of the quality of its approach to consultancy and work but also for its proven professionalism and multi-sector expertise developed working with international companies over the years.

The campaign with Ruggero de i Timidi

The projects completed by PM2 for 620 Passi include a recent campaign featuring Ruggero de i Timidi, in which the brewery is the focus of the first episode of "Product Placement", Ruggero's new web series focusing on the world of influencer marketing. A succession of hilarious scenes filmed at the brewery's headquarters and inside "Ai Barnabiti" restaurant in Udine (an on-trade partner), which kept 1.5 million users glued to the screen (figures on unique users in the Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto regions), registering 3.6 million impressions and 2.7 million playbacks. Distributed on Ruggero de I Timidi's and the brewery's social media channels and supported through a paid advertising and press office campaign, the video obtained an extremely positive response, not only in terms of views, but also in terms of reactions and interest in the brand (over 3,500 interactions).

"We wanted to tell the story of the brewery in a fun and friendly way, with lightness and self-deprecation. And who could do this better than Ruggero de I Timidi?", explains Menegon. "Being a craft brewery means being independent, not only financially and production-wise, but also in terms of communications. And this project is the ultimate expression of that".

The purpose of the activity was clear: to carve out a distinctive niche compare to competitors, establishing a long-term competitive advantage and consolidate the brand value and its perception.
After an accurate market analysis, PM2 led Adria Mobil in the definition of a new communication strategy that artfully accentuated the three hallmarks that have always distinguished Adria from competitors: premium quality, cutting-edge design, and relentless innovation.

Chiara Bergianti, Project Manager PM2, says: “Market instability called for a step forward in Adria brand marketing and created the perfect opportunity for Adria Mobil to review the communication strategy.
Cooperating closely with the client, PM2 unearthed an inherent yet unexpressed brand value —the premiumness— which is highly alluring to consumers. This approach guided us toward identifying more cohesive visual elements and adopting greater clarity in content presentation across all major communication platforms, with a resolute focus on Design and Innovation.”

Elevating Catalogs to a New Standard
PM2 played a pivotal role in redefining catalogues, moving from the traditional presentation of the entire product range to single product catalogs for each category. Drawing inspiration from the automotive sector, the new design boosts content’s effectiveness, adding significant value to each product. This approach helps consumers explore Adria Mobil’s offer more thoroughly and enjoyably.

The new role of the Magazine
To boost how user see the brand, PM2 upgraded Magazine Inspirations, making it a bigger part of the website.

It also shares stories from passionate brand fans. The Magazine stays lively, providing an interactive and engaging experience for website visitors.

The new website
PM2 also led the website’s transformation, now boasting a clearer, premium category segmentation. Brand-focused content imparts greater value to the brand itself. Whether presenting products or focusing on brand content, a consistent emphasis on design, innovation, and technology prevails.

“The study stage plays an important role in crafting an effective strategy for a complex, multichannel project. To be able to better enhance the brand Adria Mobil, we improved our knowledge in different sectors, from automotive to design, from the world of travel to the luxury field. Notions that allowed us to create a minimal, innovative and definitely premium communication” comments Elisabetta Bin, PM2 Art Director.

Adria Mobil presented all the news during two of the most important trade exhibitions in the industry, at Düsseldorf International Caravan Salon (27th August – 5th September) and the Parma Camper Show (9th-17th September).

“For 23-24 we decided to renovate the Adria brand communications, with the support of the team at PM2 to better reflect our market positioning, product offer and to be more online, especially phone oriented. This was a large and complex project, which included a new international web platform with integrated online live brand magazine and new printed catalogues. PM2 were instrumental in driving this project with insight, creative and project management support. A first class effort!” Neil Morley, Adria Mobil Marketing Director.


CHIURLO IGNITES ENERGY IN FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA

Chiurlo named PM2 as its partner for on and offline communication.

Chiurlo, a Friuli-based multi-utility among the most important on the energy scene in Northern Italy, with 120 years of history and over 250 employees in 4 operating locations, has been joined by PM2 as a communication partner since 2022.

The collaboration, which began with a focus on promoting and sustaining the development of the GAS e LUCE business unit, has continued to support corporate and product.
PM2 was initially given the task of devising a communication campaign to convey the brand values in which the company has always recognised itself, i.e. strong roots in the territory and the link with the people who live there.

Hence the claim Since 1901 the energy of your people, the creative concept behind the advertisement, for a multi-subject campaign that has chosen illustration as its visual style.

Further proof of the bond between Chiurlo and Friuli Venezia Giulia is the act to give space to the region’s young talents, who build an authentic and original message through their creativity.
PM2 and Chiurlo launched and followed a contest addressed to the students of the Liceo Artistico G. Sello of Udine, inviting them to elaborate illustrations capable of interpreting the main landscape-architectural elements of some of the main municipalities in which the company is present.
About ninety projects were then evaluated by a jury, consisting of selected members from Chiurlo, board of the Liceo Artistico G. Sello and the agency, to select three winners who, through their illustrations, became the protagonists of Chiurlo’s new communication campaign, spread across the local media, social media and OOH.

“Energy is a fundamental resource for everyone, even the youngest, who often feel distant from this important issue. To make them closer to the topic and make them aware of the use of this primary good, we decided to hold a contest that, through creativity, allowed them to learn more about this world and to represent it by showing their talent” comments Alex Della Mea, Art Director of PM2.

 A ROADMAP TO THE FUTURE 

From 2021, GASGAS entrusts the communication to PM2.

Creating one of the most extensive and sustainable networks of recharging stations for electric vehicles, placed in many points of interest in Italy and Europe, is the goal of GASGAS.
Born as a start-up in 2021, the company has evolved in a very short time to become one of the main players in the Italian panorama of electric vehicle charging systems. 

 PM2 has supported this journey from the very beginning, helping GASGAS to set targets to be achieved, from a very early stage of crowdfunding to the definition of its positioning and the development of its image, which was then translated into all its communication tools. 

An intense and stimulating path that began with the design of the logo and coordinated image. 
In line with the brand’s revolutionary personality, the PM2 team has made some original and courageous choices, including the use of bright and strongly characterising colours. 
A creative decision that responds to the brand’s strategic need to distinguish itself from other competitors on the market
In fact, GASGAS is a reliable, flexible, smart and sustainable partner and this qualities are still today one of the main strengths of the company.

To implement brand awareness and acquire new leads among the target audience, e-drivers or future e-drivers and owners of points of interest, PM2 created numerous presentation tools including video materials, landing pages and sales documentation with dedicated content. At the end, the agency realised a company profile where the innovative GASGAS business model is clearly presented, highlighting the project’s distinctive features, philosophy and strength. 
The results were overwhelmingly positive and allowed GASGAS to carve out a relevant place among the big names in electric mobility, opening up access to the sector’s most important trade fair: Key Energy, an event where the brand participated with two stands – customised ad hoc by PM2 – in 2021 and 2022. 

 All the content created by PM2 was also declined on GASGAS social media, creating graphics and texts for Meta and LinkedIn posts. 

 “Working with a start-up involves quite different logics compared to those of an established company. The challenge is about defining a vision and building a journey for the company’s growth. With GASGAS, the fruits of teamwork arrived very quickly: an interesting case to prove that the best things are always done in two”, comments Sara Nadalutti, Account Manager at GASGAS.

THE COLOR OF SUMMER? AZZURRO2000

Azzurro2000 contracts PM2 to create and manage digital adv campaigns.

READ MORE

Azzurro2000, a Summer Camp running from June to August in Lignano Sabbiadoro (UD) and aimed at children and teens aged 6 to 17, has chosen PM2 as its online promotion partner.
The agency was asked to activate and manage adv campaigns on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and on Google (Google Search, Display and Performance max) with the aim of inviting users -the operation was aimed at an adult target audience of parents or relatives- to go to the Azzurro2000 website and finalize their children’s enrollment in the summer camp by filling out a form and paying a deposit as a guarantee.

The results were not long in coming.                                                                                
The adv campaigns, online from March 1 to May 31, 2023, a period chosen because it was before school closures and convenient for summer family organization, resulted in the registration of more than 300 entries, of which more than 30% of the total came specifically from Meta or Google adv campaigns.

Also, several enrollments registered on the website (more than 10% of the total) were influenced by the adv campaigns, despite their conversion was actually through the organic channel (using search engines, referrals, directly, accessing the website).                                                         
This is because, as of today, the path to conversion by the user on the web embraces increasingly complex stages and interactions and, while it is correct to say that adv campaigns act as catalysts for initial interest, it is equally accurate to note that the combination of organic search, interaction with valuable content on the website and engagement through social channels, plays a crucial role in driving users toward final conversion.

“The work done for Azzurro2000 is the result of a structured process that requires a careful digital marketing strategy, in which one must be able to offer an engaging experience, providing relevant information and creating a bond of trust and transparency with the target audience. The excellent result obtained testifies and confirms PM2’s skills in this area,” comments Marco Seriau, Digital Project Manager
