Il panorama commerciale contemporaneo ha subito una significativa trasformazione nel corso degli ultimi anni. La logica della pubblicità tradizionale, percepita come invasiva e disturbante, continua a perdere di efficacia, mentre i consumatori sono diventati attori sempre più coinvolti e partecipativi nei processi creativi delle aziende. I media e i brand sono in continua evoluzione, guidati dall’avvento delle continue innovazioni tecnologiche e dai cambiamenti nelle modalità di fruizione dei contenuti. Per emergere dal brusio promozionale e raggiungere un consumatore sempre più saturo, i brand devono comunicare emozioni, trasmettendo un messaggio che dia informazioni e, al tempo stesso, intrattenga. Entra in gioco il Branded Entertainment, una strategia di comunicazione che fonde intrattenimento e pubblicità, intrecciando diversi elementi narrativi ai valori in cui il brand crede, al fine di creare un legame emotivo con il pubblico e rafforzare la sua community. La peculiarità di questo format rispetto ai suoi predecessori risiede nella capacità di ideare, produrre e, talvolta, distribuire contenuti di alta qualità, appassionanti e coinvolgenti, rispondendo agli interessi del pubblico, che sceglierà se partecipare o meno. La tesi si compone di quattro capitoli. Nel primo viene analizzato il contesto mediatico e l’evoluzione del fenomeno, dalla sua origine fino ai giorni nostri. Il secondo circoscrive il brand e come questo utilizzi lo storytelling per avvicinarsi al pubblico in modo naturale. Nel terzo si approfondirà il BE come strategia pubblicitaria, evidenziando i formati a disposizione delle imprese e l’efficacia del suo utilizzo. L’ultimo capitolo analizza come lo storytelling sia utilizzato dalle aziende del settore Food&Beverage per attrarre i consumatori e differenziarsi in un mercato sempre più competitivo. Lo storytelling diventa una leva per creare esperienze immersive che comunicano con i bisogni, desideri e aspirazioni dei consumatori. Attraverso un’analisi qualitativa delle campagne di successo, l’elaborato esplorerà il ruolo che la narrazione ha avuto nell’efficacia di queste campagne, mettendo in evidenza i diversi formati utilizzati dai brand per ottenere maggiore engagement e costruire una connessione con le proprie audience, tentando di individuare un’eventuale relazione tra il BE e il rafforzamento del brand.

Abstract
The contemporary commercial landscape has undergone a significant transformation over the last few years. The logic of traditional advertising, perceived as invasive and disturbing, continues to lose its effectiveness, while consumers have become increasingly involved and participatory actors in the creative processes of companies. The media and brands are constantly evolving, driven by the advent of continuous technological innovations and changes in the ways in which content is consumed. To emerge from the promotional buzz and reach an increasingly saturated consumer, brands must communicate emotions, transmitting a message that provides information and, at the same time, entertains. Branded Entertainment comes into play, a communication strategy that merges entertainment and advertising, intertwining different narrative elements with the values in which the brand believes, in order to create an emotional bond with the public and strengthen its community. The peculiarity of this format compared to its predecessors lies in the ability to conceive, produce and, sometimes, distribute high-quality, exciting and engaging content, responding to the interests of the public, who will choose whether to participate or not. The thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter analyzes the media context and the evolution of the phenomenon, from its origins to the present day. The second chapter circumscribes the brand and how it uses storytelling to approach the public in a natural way. The third chapter will delve into BE as an advertising strategy, highlighting the formats available to companies and the effectiveness of its use. The last chapter analyzes how storytelling is used by companies in the Food & Beverage sector to attract consumers and differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive market. Storytelling becomes a lever to create immersive experiences that communicate with the needs, desires and aspirations of consumers. Through a qualitative analysis of successful campaigns, the paper will explore the role that storytelling has had in the effectiveness of these campaigns, highlighting the different formats used by brands to obtain greater engagement and build a connection with their audiences, attempting to identify a possible relationship between BE and brand strengthening.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
