"Top Tales: a piece of Europe on your table" communication campaign comes to an end

MILAN, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- After three years, the European campaign "Top Tales: a piece of Europe on your table" addressed to the U.S. and Chinese markets, comes to an end.

The products involved in the project were Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG wines, Fontina cheese PDO and Baraggia PDO rice. Over the three years, various activities were put in place, including a press office and press releases distribution to the Chinese and American media.

One of the most important activities was the participation in several events including the Barolo Barbaresco World Opening, Summer and Winter Fancy Food in the USA and the Vinitaly Roadshow, SIAL and Prowine in China, with operators incoming trips from both countries.

Many digital activities were developed, including a rich editorial plan to communicate on social media in both China and the US.

The results were encouraging; the campaign reached with press office activities a total audience of more than 660,000,000 contacts in the U.S. and 380,000,000 contacts in China.

The campaign's social pages reached more than 3,800 followers in the U.S. and more than 5,500 followers in China.

Trade shows such as the Summer and Winter Fancy Food in New York and Las Vegas reached 63.000 visitors in 2024, BBWO participants during the three years' campaign were more than 700 trade operators and journalists. At the same time some masterclasses were organized during Prowein and Vinitaly Roadshow in China.
