Their mission is to propose a new way to experience the \u201cbeverage moment,\u201d combining pleasure, creativity, and wellness in line with recent consumer trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the two-day workshop, company representatives brought a real challenge into the classroom: to imagine a new product accompanied by a communication and marketing concept to enhance the Iessi brand and expand its dialogue with a young, aware audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop's structure was dynamic and participatory, alternating between presentations, discussions, and group work sessions. From the very first hours, the atmosphere was informal and stimulating: questions, curiosity, and laughter accompanied every stage of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unisg.it\/assets\/UNISG_@giacomopiumatti-9837.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-103801\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three Projects, Three Visions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Divided into teams, we students developed three distinct projects, each with a different creative and strategic approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each group interpreted Bubble Bev\u2019s personality through different languages and tools \u2014 from digital communication to experiential approaches, brand positioning to storytelling strategies \u2014 designing a beverage aligned with Iessi\u2019s product line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the workshop, each team presented their project directly to the company representatives, receiving specific and constructive feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many of us, it was the first real interaction with a company in the sector: an opportunity to experience teamwork, time management, and the ability to transform a brief into a concrete idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the second day, Federica Rubeo and Nick Ranghino from Bubble Bev, along with Nicolas Maiarelli from Iessi, selected the most interesting project among those presented. The winning project will also have the opportunity to become a real product: BUBBLE Bev will produce a limited edition of the selected concept as a spin-off of IESSI, with proceeds going to FEBA (European Food Banks Federation). A concrete recognition that gives value to the work done and allows us students to see our ideas come to life, while also generating a positive impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unisg.it\/assets\/UNISG_@giacomopiumatti-9707-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-103809\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Action Learning in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop with Bubble Bev represented a prime example of action learning, the teaching method that defines the UNISG path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were called to \u201cdo,\u201d to get hands-on with ideas and face real challenges proposed by partner companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach allowed us to immediately apply the knowledge acquired in class, confronting a real situation and the concrete needs of a business. At the same time, it fostered the development of essential soft skills \u2014 from creative thinking to strategic communication, to managing a complex project \u2014 guiding us through a journey that brought us closer to the way professionals in the sector work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What emerged was an authentic learning experience that integrated the academic dimension with the professional context and made us active protagonists of our own learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Opportunity to Strengthen the Dialogue Between Students and Business<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop was also an opportunity to strengthen the dialogue between us students and the business world, highlighting the importance of direct interaction between those who study and those who operate in the market. Bubble Bev, for its part, was able to gather fresh ideas, new perspectives, and innovative concepts born from the minds of us young food communicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Experience to Remember<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the concrete results, what made the workshop special was the atmosphere of enthusiasm and participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two days in Pollenzo passed between brainstorming sessions, tastings, and informal discussions: an intense yet fun experience that fostered connections and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As many of us noted, \u201cit was one of the most engaging moments of the master\u2019s,\u201d turning into an opportunity to truly understand how a brand in the food &amp; beverage sector is born and communicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion: Learning by Doing, with the Right Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop with Bubble Bev strengthens collaboration between UNISG and supporting companies and demonstrates that it\u2019s not just a networking opportunity but a true educational experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We young people can transform knowledge into competence, while companies find in Pollenzo a place to listen to new ideas and discover talents in a continuous reciprocal flow of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In two intense and fun days, Bubble Bev and the students of the Master\u2019s in Food Communication and Marketing demonstrated that learning can \u2014 and must \u2014 be a living, shared experience, and, just like the bubbles in Bubble Bev, full of energy and creativity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the Master\u2019s in Food Communication and Marketing at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, collaboration with partner companies represents a cornerstone of the educational path and, for us students, a privileged moment where theory meets practice, making food and wine communication a living experience.
