Transformation — Before and After Bliss Management

Situation Prior to Intervention

The brand was present but lacked a structured digital communication system and had no systematic content production. The Instagram account was experiencing slow organic growth with a limited community and no follower acquisition strategy. International trade fairs were attended without any digital communication coverage, lacking dedicated photo and video production or social media activity. The visual identity and tone of voice did not align with the brand’s international ambitions. Furthermore, LinkedIn and B2B channels were non-existent, missing a strategy for premium positioning in the Ho.Re.Ca. sector.

Results After Bliss Management

Follower growth hit 707 new users (+21%) in just 3 months, peaking at 111,025 accounts reached — turning the profile into a fully operational editorial machine. The Reel “Excellence in Quality: the Black Truffle Pate” amassed 157,000 views, becoming the brand’s first top-performing content on an international scale. Five trade fair events were fully managed (UK twice, Singapore, Amsterdam, and TuttoFood) with high-quality photo, video, and large-format graphic production. The visual identity was revamped, the tone of voice was made more direct and friendly, the logo brandbook was completed, and Brand Guidelines were established. LinkedIn was successfully activated, boasting a 300% follower growth, a 116% increase in page visitors, and a 124% increase in feed appearances in its first tracked month, officially launching the B2B channel.

The photo shoots were designed to highlight the essence of La Rustichella products with a sophisticated aesthetic and impeccable details. The skillful use of lighting, textures, and composition conveys quality, tradition, and refinement in every image. The photographs thus become a prestigious visual asset, essential for consolidating the brand’s premium identity.

Realistic CGI

Modeling, texturing, and rendering to bring La Rustichella products to life in immersive digital storytelling.

For international trade fairs, we created CGI video content specifically designed for large-format LED walls. Every La Rustichella product was modeled down to the smallest detail, textured with precision, and rendered photorealistically to achieve a highly immersive visual result. The video offers a scenic and engaging experience, capable of enhancing the excellence of the truffle through a sophisticated and high-impact digital language.
