Things I have Done and I'm Proud OF.

Business TRANSFORMATION 

A FULL REDESIGN STRATEGIC PROJECT: from BRANDING DEVELOPMENT, LOGO DESIGN, SOCIAL MEDIA IDENTITY, CONTENT STRATEGIes to BUILDING A NEW SITE.

The key for this 3 months project was a deep dive into the world of this traditional flower shop, understand how we could modernize it without losing its soul and core, and work closely with the owner during this time. And take this newly redesigned brand to launch itself on new digital opportunities, launching the e-commerce.

DigitaL Business Consultant 

A FULL PROJECT: from BRANDING DEVELOPMENT, LOGO DESIGN, SOCIAL MEDIA IDENTITY, CONTENT STRATEGIes to BUILDING A NEW SITE.

This was a special one year project working closely with the artist Lara Matana, embracing her personality to boost her business to the digital space too. Her art pieces embrace forms, shapes, and movements, all made with only discarded trunks and wood of fallen trees.

NEW E-commerce Project Manager

NEW ELLUS.COM PLATFORM 

From November 2016 to March 2018, it took 1 year and a half for this project to be launched. It was challenging and incredibly hard teamwork to make sure all of the people involved were committed and knew the impact that this would take for the brands ELLUS, ELLUS KIDS and 2ndFloor. Step by step:

  • Research: find a great benchmark for the project;

  • Digital Identity: what should change and what has to stay

  • E-commerce Web Design: how to redesign a new digital personality without mistaking the brand identity.

  • Functionality: create the best consumer experience;

  • Creative Strategy: how to launch without scaring consumers with all the new e-commerce platform changes and boost sales.

Content Development 

DEVELOPING MEANINGFUL STORYTELLING 

A success content is due to a very well told storytelling and clear communication, especially visual as we are part of the times where "an image is worth a thousand words". My job was to make Social Media relevant and fix the brand identity online. 

  • In charge of the strategies and management of all the owned digital channels: Site, Instagram, Facebook and Blog;

  • Understand the difference between who do you want to communicate and who you are really talking to;

  • Online content production workflow management: leading the process of designers, copywriters, web- developers work. Teamwork is the key: working together with the teams to elaborate: what to talk about, how to show and why is relevant;

  • The content has to be adapted, what works for Instagram it is not what will always work for Facebook or other; 

  • Instagram page @ellusjeansdeluxe had 119k organic growth from 2016 to 2017.

 

“My understanding in different areas and knowledge of a company various processes gives an essential overview of the whole chain, with the goal of building communication bridges between teams, creating more effective strategies, and highlighting the importance of teamwork."
