We advised them to use new media tools to reach their customers and potential franchisees, and with the team at WebWorking, we were able to help them unify their branding, and create a simple friendly look that is adaptable to many uses, from signage to t-shirts, from packaging and wrappers to web communications.

With the team, new wrappers were made for the shops, and now a clearly identifiable orange La Piê wrapper can be seen adorning delicious Piadinas in Torino.

We love the ricotta, sundried tomato and eggplant Piadina for lunch on our terrace.  MMmmmmmm.

It all starts with telling your story in an effective and attractive manner. We create a short one minute video that tells your story, using your voice, and natural light. With license free music (no royalties!) and the appropriate editing we can tell your story, explain your product or service in a short form video that is perfect for the web.

Here’s an example of a simple video that we did for Sorriso Veloce. We chose to use a straightforward moment with the Doctor explaining her services.

We also use as a model these videos from TurnHere (we are a registered producer with them).

Also another example from TurnHere

And another:

And lastly a little bit form our web hit, LateNiteMash, now archived at TheMash.tv

There is great entrepreneurial energy in Torino, and we are glad they stopped by.
