“La vita è bella”: Bindella’s customer magazine.

Task

A well-made customer magazine is both entertaining and useful for existing and new customers. Bindella also wanted its magazine to give the brand a consistently recognisable voice. Bindella’s in-house editorial team tells stories, writes novellas and travel reports, provides interesting facts, examines trends in wine and celebrates Italian cuisine – all in conjunction with current offerings. Bindella was looking for an agency with experience in content marketing and know-how in editorial design that could also take charge of production on an integrated basis. Linkgroup prevailed in a two-stage tender with a distinct visual design, and now produces the magazine on a one-stop basis.
