Con questo elaborato si intende analizzare un’importante strategia di marketing: il visual branding. Il visual branding è costituito dai differenti elementi visivi che caratterizzano un brand. L’elaborato vuole dimostrare come ogni scelta effettuata dalle aziende sia il risultato di decisioni ben ponderate da parte delle aziende e si ponga come obiettivo quello di influenzare il consumatore. A sostegno della mia tesi, verranno forniti esempi di 6 brand da me attentamente selezionati: - Il brand vinicolo Tavernello, appartenente alla società cooperativa italiana Caviro - La catena di ristorazione fast food Burger King - L’azienda italiana con prodotti 100% vegetali, analoghi della carne, Food Evolution - L’impresa dolciaria spagnola Chupa Chups - La celebre multinazionale Zuegg, con la linea Skipper - L’azienda produttrice di cereali Kellogg’s Tale elaborato si impegna nell’analisi dei loghi, adottati da alcuni brand, nel corso degli anni: l’analisi si soffermerà sui tre elementi che caratterizzano un logo ossia logotipo, pittogramma e pay-off. In seguito, verranno esaminate nel dettaglio le scelte, a livello visivo e linguistico, inerenti determinati post, pubblicati dai profili ufficiali sulla piattaforma Instagram. La scelta di analizzare tali post rispecchia l’importanza crescente dei social media. Nella società attuale sono sempre più rilevanti e per tale motivazione ogni marchio sceglie di dedicare tempo e attenzione alla cura di essi. Il lavoro si arricchirà grazie ad un’ulteriore distinzione effettuata sulla base di sei caratteristiche individuate dal noto esperto in marketing, Philip Kotler. Egli parla del volto umano che stanno assumendo i brand negli ultimi anni per creare maggiore empatia con gli ipotetici consumatori. Al termine del lavoro di analisi, vi saranno due apposite sezioni: una sezione sarà dedicata al confronto dei sei brand (cross case analysis) in merito le seguenti caratteristiche: - Mission aziendale - Target di riferimento - Tone of voice - Valori - Contenuto L’altra sezione riguarda il calcolo dell’engagement rate per ogni brand, in riferimento ai post da me selezionati ed esaminati. Tale calcolo è fondamentale per cercare di comprendere il livello di coinvolgimento riscontrato da ogni brand.

Abstract
This paper aims to analyze an important marketing strategy: visual branding. Visual branding consists of the different visual elements that characterize a brand. My research paper aims to demonstrate how each choice made by companies is the result of well-considered decisions on the part of companies and aims to influence the consumer. To support my thesis, examples of 6 brands will be provided: - The wine brand Tavernello, belonging to the Italian cooperative company Caviro - The fast food restaurant chain Burger King - The Italian company with 100% plant-based products, analogues of meat, Food Evolution - The Spanish confectionery company Chupa Chups - The famous multinational company Zuegg, with its Skipper line - The cereal company Kellogg's This paper engages in the analysis of logos, adopted by a number of brands, over the years: the analysis will focus on the three elements that characterize a logo namely logotype, pictogram and pay-off. Next, the choices, on a visual and linguistic level, inherent in certain posts, published by official profiles on the Instagram platform, will be examined in detail. The choice to analyze such posts reflects the growing importance of social media. They are increasingly relevant in today's society, and for that reason every brand chooses to devote time and attention to curating them. The work will be enriched by a further distinction made on the basis of six characteristics identified by the well-known marketing expert, Philip Kotler. He talks about the human face that brands are taking on in recent years to create more empathy with hypothetical consumers. At the end of the analysis work, there will be two special sections: one section will be devoted to comparing the six brands (cross case analysis) regarding the following characteristics: - Company mission - Target audience - Tone of voice - Values - Content The other section concerns the calculation of the engagement rate for each brand, with reference to the posts I selected and examined. This calculation is critical in trying to understand the level of engagement found by each brand.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
