THE SCREENING BANANA

Cos’hanno in comune le banane con la nostra pelle? Le macchie: grandi e piccole, chiare o scure, regolari o frastagliate. Esattamente come i nostri nei. Ma nel caso della pelle, dietro una macchia può nascondersi un melanoma. Se diagnosticato in tempo, il melanoma ha una probabilità di guarigione del 90%. Eppure il 54% degli Italiani non ha mai fatto un controllo dei nei. Un dato allarmante, considerato che si verificano 13.000 nuovi casi ogni anno, ma soprattutto che basta un autoesame visivo per accendere il campanello d’allarme.

Da questa considerazione nasce “The screening banana”, il progetto sviluppato per Bennet, in collaborazione con Fondazione Veronesi, per sensibilizzare sull’importanza della diagnosi preventiva.

In tutti gli ipermercati Bennet, sulle banane, in corrispondenza di una macchia, è stato applicato uno sticker removibile che riporta i parametri fondamentali per un autoesame dei nei: colore, dimensione, simmetria e bordatura. Uno strumento semplicissimo che aiuta a “leggere” i propri nei, anche tramite un QR code che conduce a pagine di approfondimento su bennet.com.

Un gesto quotidiano come la spesa diventa così il boost per affrontare importanti temi sociali e culturali presso un vasto pubblico.

GOOD TO READ PACKS

BENNET GOOD TO READ PACKS

Per stare bene, è sufficiente prendersi cura del proprio corpo? Il 94% degli Italiani legge le informazioni nutrizionali sulle confezioni dei cibi per alimentarsi meglio, ma non presta altrettanta cura a come alimentare il proprio pensiero, visto che quasi il 60% non legge neanche un libro l’anno.

Da qui prende il via la nuova campagna “Good To Read Packs” sviluppata per Bennet, nel solco di “Hungry for Culture”, progetto lanciato nel 2022 con l’obiettivo di riportare la lettura nella quotidianità degli Italiani.

Anche questa volta, l’approccio creativo mira a coinvolgere direttamente le persone, trasformando abitudini e gesti ordinari in momenti di riflessione, per spingere al cambiamento.

Il punto di partenza sono le confezioni di alcuni prodotti essenziali su cui, attraverso un sofisticato lavoro di redesign, sono stati integrati alcuni estratti di grandi classici della letteratura. Scelti in base a un preciso punto di contatto: al loro interno viene, infatti, citato proprio il nome del prodotto che li “ospita”. Il lettore viene così trasportato al centro di una storia e indotto a continuare a leggerla, tramite un QR code che trova sempre spazio sulle confezioni.

L’obiettivo è chiaro: trasformare il momento in cui facciamo attenzione a come nutrire il nostro corpo, in un’occasione per sensibilizzare sul bisogno di nutrire il nostro pensiero.

UNWASTED BOUQUET

Bennet Unwasted Bouquet

Valentine’s Day is the day of love. And among all love stories, there is a very important one that involves us all: the one with the planet. That’s how the “Unwasted Bouquet” campaign designed for Bennet was born, launching the first Valentine’s Day bouquets made entirely from fresh seasonal vegetables, with the aim of raising awareness against food waste and promoting more sustainable habits.

The campaign, developed on social and digital channels, led to Bennet’s e-commerce site where people could find ingredients and video tutorials to compose their own favorite vegetable bouquet, combined with specific recipes to cook it using every part of it, until the last leaf. For a romantic, sustainable and waste-free dinner.

With Bennet’s Unwasted Bouquets, Valentine’s Day becomes an opportunity to remember that we should dedicate all our love and care to the environment.

 

From Generation to Regeneration

For years, IKEA has been committed to creating solutions that make everyday life more sustainable and circular. But there’s someone who has been doing it since ever, the past generations, who grew up making recovery a real lifestyle. So who, better than them, can teach it to the new generations?

Thus, “From Generation to Regeneration” was born, a project in collaboration with Anteas, an association that has always given a voice to those who want to make their knowledge of a lifetime available to the community.

Guided by the message “To change the future, let’s put the past back into circulation”, this activity gave birth to different contents, with the constant aim of stimulating a dialogue on the circular philosophy between different generations and inspiring people on the theme of creative recycling. Thus, five video tutorials were born, in which Anteas experts and a group of young influencers collaborated to upcycle old IKEA products. But that’s not all. “From Generation to Regeneration” became a podcast to tell the extraordinary stories of five people who have made circularity their philosophy of life, as well as a series of workshops and in-store activities.

Bennet – Hungry for Culture

Feeding our body is a primary need, but way too often we forget to nurture our most important side: our mind. To do it, reading has always been considered food for thought, the only mean to grow as human beings and as a society. So, with large-scale retail brand Bennet, we created an awareness campaign about cultural consumption, with the aim of bringing back the habit of reading in everyday life. How? Displaying books for sale where people focus their attention the most, in food aisles.

Let’s not call them heroes.

Together with Bennet, we made the video “Let’s not call them heroes”, dedicated to all the employees, for the responsibility and dedication they showed during COVID emergency and for the extraordinary commitment they continue to face in this period.

Bennet played a major role in supporting local communities during the COVID-19 emergency. This required an extraordinary organizational effort, carried out by its 6725 employees, with great commitment and sense of responsibility.

In order to give visibility and credit to each one of them, we made a video which presents employees not as heroes, but as normal people to be thanked even more strongly and spontaneously.

IKEA – Home’s for book

A special birthday for the BILLY bookstore which turns 40! IKEA celebrates with an entire weekend of festivities, concretizing a reflection related to the reality of reading in Italy: we read always less (in fact, it is estimated that 57.6% of Italians do not read even one book in a year) compared of a continuous increase in new publications (70,000 new books published in 2018). As a result, emerging writers find it difficult to make themselves known to the general public.
Hence the idea of the brand as the bearer of a cultural message, wanting to become a meeting point between the public and writers: a special initiative dedicated to emerging writers that will take place in the IKEA store in San Giuliano Milanese.
For the occasion, thanks to the collaboration with IBS.it, the Italian online bookstore, the Billy bookshops in the store hosted works by authors not yet known to the general public, recreating inside IKEA a real reading circle animated by events, readings to the public, presentations with the presence of the authors and activities to rase awareness among participants on the theme of reading.

IKEA CHRISTMAS

Christmas is awalys unconventional for the Swedish brand, in line with the usual ability of IKEA to positively change people’s life at home.

Minds of Change

With the project “Minds Of Change. We support the idea of change”, the Swedish giant highlights its commitment to supporting Italian minds that aim to improve the health of our planet through green projects and ideas.

 

If it is true that living in a pleasant, stimulating and inspiring environment facilitates the development of ideas, who better than IKEA can actually put this into practice?

This is why the brand sustainably redesigned way the interior spaces, from domestic environments to the most chaotic work environments, of three Italian scientists who are working on 3 major projects related to the future of the planet and the humanity that inhabits it.

 

A campaign whose videos and branded content were not only designed to present our three testimonials and support their ideas, but also to inspire as many people as possible to change.
