Nella saturazione del mercato odierno, dove il consumatore è difficile da raggiungere e la sua attenzione è diventata preziosa, i marchi sono tenuti a fornire strategie trasversali per tradurre le loro promesse in esperienze reali. Lo scopo di questa tesi, è inoltre quello di rispondere a una domanda di tipo metodologico - Come è possibile condividere i valori e la storia di un nuovo brand in modo tangibile? Questo studio indaga le misure che le nuove imprese devono applicare per rendere percepibili i loro valori. L'obiettivo dell'esame è quello di superare la scarsità delle loro risorse e analizzare il potenziale delle collaborazioni strategiche, al fine di raggiungere maggiore visibilità, reputazione ed concretizzazione degli obiettivi. A questo proposito, le metodologie di Design Thinking hanno supportato l'intero processo di lavoro e il modello Double Diamond è stato integrato nella struttura. Per fare ciò, sono stati considerati numerosi casi studio, ricerche di letteratura e l'esperienza portata dal progetto Ibrida. I risultati della tesi dimostrano che esiste una forte correlazione tra la creazione di nuovi brand e la disposizione di soluzioni temporanee, nel rendere la promessa del marchio accessibile alle persone. La progettazione di un ambiente stimolante evoca i valori dei brand in modo più accattivante, creando un'atmosfera unica in grado di suscitare l'esperienza dell'utente. Inevitabilmente, questo fenomeno favorisce il dialogo con la comunità e contribuisce ad una migliore comprensione dell’essenza del brand. Pertanto, il progetto "Ibrida + Cascine" è stato introdotto al fine di esplorare attraverso un sistema di servizio-prodotto gli insegnamenti chiave della ricerca. Nello specifico, lo studio si concentra sull'implementazione di una sede semi nomade che, attraverso la pianificazione di un tour, si inserisce al fianco di realtà esistenti. Sulla base di questi risultati, la tesi sviluppata conclude che le soluzioni fisiche transitorie forniscono un luogo di condivisione e co-creazione di valore, in cui le relazioni interattive ed esperienziali con il brand rendono vivi i suoi valori. Degno di nota è l'impatto del Service Design all'interno dei brand che da spazio ad una narrazione chiara e coerente, capace di generare di un efficace associazione dei valori nella mente del consumatore.

Abstract
In today’s market saturation, where the customer is hard to reach and his attention has become precious, brands are required to deliver transversal strategies to translate their promises into real experiences. Moreover, the purpose of this Thesis is to respond to a methodological assumption - How might we share the values and a story of a new brand through a tangible solution? This study investigates the measures that new businesses have to apply in order to make their values perceivable. The aim of the examination is to overcome the scarcity of their resources and analyze the potential of strategic collaborations, in order to reach more visibility, reputation and target expansion. Herein, Design Thinking methodologies supported the overall process and the Double Diamond model was chosen as the theoretical framework. To do so, multiple-case study, literature research and the experience from a real project, Ibrida, were investigated. Findings from the research show that there is a strong correlation between the establishment of new brands and the arrangement of temporary solutions, in making brand promise accessible to people. The design of such a dense environment evoke businesses’ values in a more appealing way by creating a unique atmosphere able to elicit the user experience. Inevitably, this phenomenon fosters the dialogue with the community and contribute to their understanding of the brand. Therefore, the project ‘Ibrida + Cascine’ was introduced in order to explore through a Product-Service System the key learnings from the research. Specifically, the study focuses on the implementation of a semi nomad headquarter that, through the planning of a tour, it works alongside realities already established. Based on these results, the Thesis concludes that physical transitory solutions provide an opportunity of value sharing and co-creation, in which the interactive and experiential relationship with the brand makes its values alive. Noteworthy is the impact of Service Design within brands that leverages an opportunity for creating a strong narrative and further generation of an effective brand-value association in the consumer's mind.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
