La pratica della cross industry si fonda sull’imparare da settori differenti a quello in cui si opera, adattando casi virtuosi al proprio mercato. Il consumatore è sempre più attratto da stili di vita piuttosto che da semplici oggetti e, per questa ragione, i brand di moda, non riuscendo più a emergere nel mercato globale, hanno iniziato a coinvolgere il proprio pubblico dal punto di vista emozionale. Si passa dal total look al total living con la tendenza ad offrire lifestyle solution all’interno di un unico brand. è in questo contesto che fioriscono le collaborazioni tra mercato moda e design: il desiderio di possedere un oggetto frutto di una collaborazione tra- passa il concetto di edizione limitata a favore dell’ambizione più marcata ad acquistare un prodotto esclusivo ma che profumi d’opera d’arte/design. Anche nel mercato italiano esistono sempre più contaminazioni tra questi due mondi, soprattutto in un momento in cui i brand italiani devono po- sizionarsi nei mercati internazionali innovandosi e puntando sulla qualità dei prodotti e la bellezza del quotidiano che essi offrono. Alla ricerca sul tema si affianca un’analisi delle linee guida che i new media hanno imposto ai brand nel posizionarsi digitalmente. Da questi concetti nasce la domanda di tesi: Come può un brand con bassa awareness appartenente al mercato moda italiano posizionarsi off e online al fine di rilanciare la propria reputation attraverso le dinamiche cross in- dustry, e in particolare di co-branding? Volta Footwear, brand italiano di calzature, commercializza il concetto di Instant Classic ovvero offre un prodotto ibrido tra la calzatura tradizionale, classica e Made in Italy e la sneakers internazionale e contemporanea. Si è creato un progetto di co-branding per Volta, estrapolato dalle diverse possi- bilità offerte da questa pratica, e la sua strategia promozionale e comunica- tiva. Questo è il progetto pilota del più ampio Cross Industry Business Card e offre linee guida e best practice utili per la progettazione di un biglietto da visita di Volta basato su un sistema complesso di attività di co-branding con leader del mercato del design atte a esaltare i valori fondanti del brand stesso e aumentarne la credibilità nel mercato di riferimento.

Abstract
The procedure of "cross industry" is based on learning from different branches than those in which you work, by adapting honest examples to its market. The end user is increasingly attracted to lifestyles rather than simple objects and, for that reason, fashion brands, failing to arise in the global market, started to involve their own audience by a touching prospective. Turning from "total look" to "total living" with the tendency to offer "lifestyle solution" inside one only brand. In this background prosper collaborations between fashion and design market: the wish to possess an item which is the result of a (brand-) cooperation goes beyond the idea of a limited-edition object in favor of a remarkable ambition to buy an exclusive product more like to an artwork/design objects. Always more frequently in the italian market there are fusions between these two worlds, especially in a period during which italian brands must find place inside international markets through innovations aiming for the quality of their products and the everyday beauty. The research is coupled with an examination of the guidelines that the "new media" have imposed on brands to digitally position themselves. By the latter, emerge the dissertation: how could a low-awareness brand, belonging to italian fashion market, position itself off and online in order to revive its reputation through the cross industry dynamic, in particular co-branding? Volta footwear, italian brand of footwear, commercialises the concept of Instant Classic as an hybrid product between traditional and classic shoe and the modern and international sneakers. It has been created to Volta a co-branding pilot project, extrapolated from different possibilities provided by this practice, and its promotional and communicative strategy. This project offers advantageous guidelines and best-practice for planning a business card for Volta founded on a complex system of co-branding activities together with the leaders of the design market that enhance the core values of the brand itself.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
