Expertise & Concentrated Evidence

  • Heritage-CPG brand activation design (Algida / Parks Department Italy tour) (4 evidence items) — Builds a geographic tour arc through specific, real, design and fashion-forward cultural venues rather than generic mass-market activation, tying a legacy brand's own heritage (Italian advertising tradition) to current cultural credibility
