Web marketing has undergone a radical transformation, driven by technological innovation, the spread of new digital platforms, and changing consumer habits. In this scenario, video content has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for corporate communication, thanks to its ability to combine images, sound, storytelling, and emotions, making messages immediate and engaging. Video marketing has become an essential component of digital strategies, allowing companies to strengthen their brand identity, amplify visibility, and foster interaction with their audience. This study aims to analyze how video marketing influences brand perception and consumer purchasing decisions, exploring the role of semiotics, storytelling, and emotions in building a strong and recognizable corporate identity. To address these topics, the research combines a theoretical analysis of existing literature with an empirical investigation conducted through a questionnaire completed by a sample of users. The objective is to understand audience preferences, the emotional impact of video content, and its effect on consumer choices, highlighting which strategies are most effective in the context of contemporary digital marketing. A central element of this research is the case study of Barilla's "Al Bronzo" product line, a brand with a long-standing tradition that has successfully evolved and adapted its communication strategy to new digital dynamics. Through the analysis of advertising campaigns conducted from 2022 to 2024, the study examines how video marketing has been used to enhance a traditional food product and strengthen the emotional connection between the brand and consumers. The use of advanced storytelling techniques and the selection of distribution platforms have been key factors in the brand’s communication success. This research provides insights into how companies can optimize their video marketing strategies by leveraging the full potential of new digital tools. The analysis of Barilla's campaigns and consumer perceptions offers a clear picture of current dynamics, demonstrating how storytelling and emotion can transform a simple advertisement into an engaging and memorable experience. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of an increasingly targeted and conscious approach that considers market developments and consumer expectations in an era characterized by continuous interaction between brands and users.
Il web marketing ha subito una trasformazione radicale, trainata dall’innovazione tecnologica, dalla diffusione di nuove piattaforme digitali e dal cambiamento nelle abitudini di consumo. In questo scenario, i contenuti video si sono affermati come uno degli strumenti più potenti per la comunicazione aziendale, grazie alla loro capacità di combinare immagini, suoni, narrazione ed emozioni, rendendo il messaggio immediato e coinvolgente. Il video marketing è diventato una componente essenziale delle strategie digitali, consentendo alle aziende di rafforzare la propria identità di marca, amplificare la visibilità e stimolare l’interazione con il pubblico. Il presente studio si propone di analizzare in che modo il video marketing influenzi la percezione del brand e le decisioni di acquisto dei consumatori, esplorando il ruolo della semiotica, della narrazione e delle emozioni nella costruzione di un’identità aziendale forte e riconoscibile. Per affrontare queste tematiche, la ricerca combina un’analisi teorica della letteratura esistente con un’indagine empirica condotta attraverso un questionario compilato da un campione di utenti. L'obiettivo è comprendere le preferenze del pubblico, l’impatto emotivo dei contenuti video e il loro effetto sulle scelte di consumo, evidenziando quali strategie risultano più efficaci nel contesto del marketing digitale contemporaneo. Un elemento centrale di questa ricerca è il caso studio della linea "Al Bronzo" di Barilla, un brand con una lunga tradizione che ha saputo evolversi e adattare la propria strategia comunicativa alle nuove dinamiche digitali. Attraverso l’analisi delle campagne pubblicitarie realizzate dal 2022 al 2024, lo studio esamina come il video marketing sia stato impiegato per valorizzare un prodotto alimentare tradizionale e rafforzare la connessione emotiva tra il marchio e i consumatori. L’uso di tecniche narrative avanzate e la scelta delle piattaforme di diffusione sono stati fattori determinanti nel successo della comunicazione del brand. Questa ricerca offre degli spunti per comprendere come le aziende possano ottimizzare le proprie strategie di video marketing, sfruttando al meglio le potenzialità offerte dai nuovi strumenti digitali. L’analisi delle campagne di Barilla e delle percezioni dei consumatori fornisce un quadro chiaro delle dinamiche presenti, evidenziando come la narrazione e l’emozione possano trasformare un semplice contenuto pubblicitario in un’esperienza coinvolgente e memorabile. Lo studio, inoltre, sottolinea l’importanza di un approccio sempre più mirato e consapevole, che tenga conto delle evoluzioni del mercato e delle aspettative dei consumatori in un’epoca caratterizzata da un’interazione continua tra brand e utenti.

Abstract
Web marketing has undergone a radical transformation, driven by technological innovation, the spread of new digital platforms, and changing consumer habits. In this scenario, video content has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for corporate communication, thanks to its ability to combine images, sound, storytelling, and emotions, making messages immediate and engaging. Video marketing has become an essential component of digital strategies, allowing companies to strengthen their brand identity, amplify visibility, and foster interaction with their audience. This study aims to analyze how video marketing influences brand perception and consumer purchasing decisions, exploring the role of semiotics, storytelling, and emotions in building a strong and recognizable corporate identity. To address these topics, the research combines a theoretical analysis of existing literature with an empirical investigation conducted through a questionnaire completed by a sample of users. The objective is to understand audience preferences, the emotional impact of video content, and its effect on consumer choices, highlighting which strategies are most effective in the context of contemporary digital marketing. A central element of this research is the case study of Barilla's "Al Bronzo" product line, a brand with a long-standing tradition that has successfully evolved and adapted its communication strategy to new digital dynamics. Through the analysis of advertising campaigns conducted from 2022 to 2024, the study examines how video marketing has been used to enhance a traditional food product and strengthen the emotional connection between the brand and consumers. The use of advanced storytelling techniques and the selection of distribution platforms have been key factors in the brand’s communication success. This research provides insights into how companies can optimize their video marketing strategies by leveraging the full potential of new digital tools. The analysis of Barilla's campaigns and consumer perceptions offers a clear picture of current dynamics, demonstrating how storytelling and emotion can transform a simple advertisement into an engaging and memorable experience. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of an increasingly targeted and conscious approach that considers market developments and consumer expectations in an era characterized by continuous interaction between brands and users.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
