FLACO talk - La memoria di Google e la brand identity

L’autore ha cucito il suo metodo per la gestione degli asset di marca, ha fuso insight psicologici, analisi strategica e motori di ricerca in un’unica finestra aperta sulla memoria collettiva. Spesso si affronta il branding partendo da prospettive unicamente orientate al copywriting o al design, trascurando i dati e il loro impatto sulla memoria e sul significato che un brand costruisce nella mente delle persone. Il testo accompagna brand manager, marketing strategist, SEO specialist e amministratori di piccole imprese oltre le strategie tradizionali, li porta a sondare e ascoltare i motori di ricerca per creare identità di marca rilevanti e durature.

FLACO talk - Il miglior modo di lavorare a un brief è dormirci sopra

Come si crea una strategia che lascia il segno? L’autore risponde romanzando il viaggio in Puglia di uno strategic planner, tra overdose d’informazioni e sogno lucido, e finisce per comporre un non-manuale di marketing vissuto. Ne deriva un metodo spontaneo, insolito, genuino: di giorno si ascolta - il cliente, il mercato, la natura, le ambizioni, i rumori di fondo, insomma qualunque cosa possa ispirare gli insight - e poi, di notte, si lasciano correre i sogni. Una guida da leggere a fuoco lento, a cui dare il tempo di lavorare sottotraccia, per svegliarsi la mattina dopo con una buona idea, quel barlume di strategia capace di portare la creatività oltre lo scroll della comunicazione a breve termine. Un modo di ripensare la comunicazione di marca più vicina alle persone, nel rispetto di numeri e statistiche, con la giusta dose di fantasia, sì, ma tenendo i piedi ben saldi alla terra.

FLACO talk - Armistizio Digitale: Dev e Manager si dichiarano pace

Andrea ha iniziato ad apprezzare il “genio” dei developer  soprattutto dopo aver incontrato Lorenzo, il quale invece ha appreso dall’amico tutte le ambizioni e le paure dei cosiddetti “piani alti”. Manager e dev che imparano l’uno dall’altro sullo stesso livello. Uno scenario non solo possibile ma che attiva una logica inaspettata e molto più potente.Think like a dev è un invito a cambiare prospettiva, a superare le barriere tra mondi apparentemente distanti e in contrasto — quello umanistico e quello tecnologico — e a valorizzare le competenze e le intuizioni dei dev, dando al team e all’intera azienda uno scudo protettivo in più, uno strumento capace di risolvere qualunque problema: il pensiero computazionale.
