Description

 

Saperi e Sapori is the new trade fair format born from the collaboration between the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the most representative associations and organizations of the territory.

An important showcase to tell the excellence of the region through the best artisan and agri-food products, enhanced by a memorable and appealing brand identity and multi-channel communication tools.

Naming

 

The naming connects two similar words, open to multiple interpretations.

Thus, the identity of the fair, capable of uniting culture and traditions, arts and crafts, man and matter, is explained in an intuitive way, also supported by the payoff “All the beauty and goodness of saper fare in Friuli Venezia Giulia”.

Logotype

 

The logo created for Saperi e Sapori responds to the need for uniqueness and recognisability of the fair, with a design that highlights both the visual and experiential aspects.

The unusual “mirrored” construction of the logo is characterised by shapes that simulate the interlocking gears of a clock, the flavourful spiral of a Gubana, the sinuous curves of a violin, with intense and brilliant colours that, although inspired by the natural shades of earth, wood, flour, water, are revisited in a more contemporary way.

Communication Concept

 

The communication concept created focuses on the man-material binomial and the artisan’s ability to “know how” with simple ingredients and raw materials, authentic excellences of the territory.

Launch campaign

 

In order to give the fair the right visibility, a communication campaign was created, both offline and online, with visual creativity and copy focused on stimulating people’s curiosity, promoting the event.

An open newspaper on a wooden table features an image of hands kneading dough. The page highlights an event called "SAPERI & SAPORI" from 28.09 to 06.10.2023. Nearby are reading glasses and a red mug.

Flyer

 

The campaign was declined in layouts and contents for flyers, distributed among points of sale and retail spaces in the territory, to intercept in a simple and immediate way the greatest number of interested people, among potential visitors and exhibitors.

A flyer on a dark green surface shows a person kneading dough. It includes the text "Saperi & Sapori" and "Lunedì, 13:00 - 15:00 / 17:30." Logos and colorful circular designs are displayed along the sides.

Maxi Billboards

 

Another variation of the campaign led to the creation of large billboards, positioned in strategic points of the region, to capture the attention of passers-by and encourage participation in the event.

Exhibition Stands

 

Another key element of the communication of a trade fair is the design and creation of the exhibition spaces, which in addition to physically reproducing the identity of the event must be functional for both visitors and exhibitors, representing an added value of the trade fair experience.

Gadget

 

To celebrate and enhance the new fair concept, promotional materials were selected and customized to be distributed during the event, to strengthen the brand identity and leave a good memory to visitors.

A cream tote bag features bold geometric shapes in green and yellow. Circular and semi-circular patterns surround Italian words like "Artigianato," "Enogastronomia," "Unicità," and "Tipicità.

Social Media Posts and Digital Banners

 

The contents for social posts and digital banners were curated respecting the communicative identity of the new concept, with the aim of expanding the visibility of the event online, in an even more immediate way.

Promotional images showcasing an event at Udine Fiere from September 28 to October 6, 2024. A person kneads dough in the background, and various text and logos, including "Saperi e Sapori" and "Casa Food Eral," are displayed.
