This paper, entitled "Telling emotions, building brand: experiential marketing and the role of cultural events in the case of the Digital Artifex Film Festival in Padua" is intended to be an analysis of the development of experiential marketing and its application in the context of cultural events, with a particular focus on the case study of the Digital Artifex Film Festival. In an increasingly saturated market, as the current one, where consumers are evolving more and more and products are becoming more and more similar to each other, Companies feel the need to distinguish themselves and therefore they perceive the need to shift the consumer’s attention to other elements that are outside of the product, such as the consumer experience.

This method is well applied in all sectors, in a transversal manner, being applicable in the various market contexts and has as its key point to increase the engagement and loyalty of the public towards a company.

Il presente elaborato, intitolato “Raccontare emozioni, costruire brand: il marketing esperienziale e il ruolo degli eventi culturali nel caso del Digital Artifex Film Festival a Padova” vuole essere un’analisi dello sviluppo del marketing esperienziale e della sua applicazione nel contesto degli eventi culturali, con un focus particolare sul caso studio del Digital Artifex Film Festival. In un mercato sempre più saturo, come quello attuale, dove i consumatori si evolvono sempre più e i prodotti, invece, sono sempre più simili tra loro, le aziende sentono il bisogno di distinguersi per cui percepiscono il bisogno di spostare l’attenzione del consumatore su altri elementi che esulano dal prodotto, come l’esperienza di consumo. Il marketing esperienziale, in modo differente da quello tradizionale, adotta un approccio di questo tipo, volto al coinvolgimento dei consumatori come parte attiva, rendendoli partecipi di esperienze di cui conservano memoria e portano con sé ricordi; perciò, non si limita alla mera promozione di prodotti o servizi come invece accadeva in passato. Questa modalità trova ben applicazione in tutti i settori, in maniera trasversale, risultando applicabile nei vari contesti di mercato e ha come punto chiave proprio quello di aumentare l’engagement e la fidelizzazione del pubblico nei confronti di un’azienda. Dunque, parte fondamentale del marketing esperienziale è proprio la realizzazione di eventi che, attraverso uno storytelling esperienziale, possono creare un legame profondo con i partecipanti. Questa ricerca analizza il caso del Digital Artifex Film Festival, un evento dedicato all'artigianato e all'innovazione digitale a Padova. La tesi si propone di analizzare l’impatto che la partecipazione dei brand sponsor al Digital Artifex Film Festival ha sugli stessi, valutando i benefici ottenuti in termini di visibilità, percezione positiva e engagement. Attraverso uno studio sperimentale fatto da interviste qualitative, la ricerca va ad esplorare in che modo questo evento culturale possa aver influenzato il posizionamento dei brand e la loro capacità di connettersi maggiormente con i consumatori, mettendo in luce il grande potenziale del marketing esperienziale come prezioso strumento di crescita, arricchimento e valorizzazione.

Abstract
This paper, entitled "Telling emotions, building brand: experiential marketing and the role of cultural events in the case of the Digital Artifex Film Festival in Padua" is intended to be an analysis of the development of experiential marketing and its application in the context of cultural events, with a particular focus on the case study of the Digital Artifex Film Festival. In an increasingly saturated market, as the current one, where consumers are evolving more and more and products are becoming more and more similar to each other, Companies feel the need to distinguish themselves and therefore they perceive the need to shift the consumer’s attention to other elements that are outside of the product, such as the consumer experience. Experiential marketing, in a different way from the traditional one, adopts an approach of this type, aimed at involving consumers as active participants, making them participate in experiences that they retain memories and bring with them memories; Therefore, it is not limited to the mere promotion of products or services as in the past. This method is well applied in all sectors, in a transversal manner, being applicable in the various market contexts and has as its key point to increase the engagement and loyalty of the public towards a company. Therefore, a fundamental part of experiential marketing is precisely the realization of events that, through an experiential storytelling, can create a deep connection with participants. This research analyses the case of the Digital Artifex Film Festival, an event dedicated to digital innovation and craft in Padua. The thesis aims to analyze the impact that the participation of brand sponsors in the Digital Artifex Film Festival has on them, evaluating the benefits obtained in terms of visibility, positive perception and engagement. Through an experimental study made of qualitative interviews, the research explores how this cultural event may have influenced the positioning of brands and their ability to connect more with consumers, Highlighting the great potential of experiential marketing as a valuable tool for growth, enrichment and exploitation.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
