SALOV Group chooses FCB Milan for the launch of Filippo Berio in Italy

Milan, 12 May 2020 – Filippo Berio is the SALOV Group‘s premium brand and has been present on the international market since 1867 and sold in over 75 countries. At the end of 2019 it entered the Italian olive oil market with a range of 4 products designed to satisfy the most demanding palates. For the launch of this campaign, after a creative consultation involving several agencies, the Group chose to entrust the task to FCB Milan, under the guidance of CEO Giorgio Brenna and Managing Partner Fabio Bianchi.

“We are happy to launch a project that is so important to us, alongside a highly experienced and internationally renowned agency like FCB Milan,” said Emanuele Siena, Marketing Director of the SALOV Group. “For many, the choice to invest in the Italian market may appear unusual in a complex economic situation like the one at present. For us, however, it represents a great challenge and a real declaration of love for our country.”

The project

Under the executive creative direction of Alessandro Antonini and Massimo Verrone, the Agency has developed a strategic platform for the launch of the brand that includes making a commercial, creating a multi-channel campaign on social media and special initiatives, all based on the most fundamental elements of the brand’s identity:

  • its history;
  • the quality ensured by the “Berio Method”, a certification and traceability system from the field to the bottle which, through numerous controls, guarantees a product of the highest quality starting from the selection of crops that follow the principles of integrated production – respectful of the environment and the entire ecosystem.

“It is a real pleasure to be able to work with the SALOV team on the Filippo Berio brand, a brand of global stature ready to make its début on the Italian market by demonstrating the outstanding quality of its oil. It is always a fascinating challenge to launch a new retail brand for large-scale distribution in a market like Italy,” said Giorgio Brenna, CEO of FCB Milan.

The SALOV Group was founded in 1919 through the merger of several companies that had been active in the oil trade since the mid-19th century. It is based in Massarosa, in the province of Lucca, and is among the largest companies in the oil sector with a consolidated net turnover in 2019 of approximately 275 million Euros and 91 million litres sold.
The SALOV Group, which has always been present on the Italian market with the famous Sagra brand, launched the Filippo Berio brand for the first time in Italy at the end of 2019, already a well-established brand worldwide and currently market leader in the USA, UK and Russia, as well as in Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. Filippo Berio has a dedicated range for Italy, one capable of responding to an increasingly demanding consumer.
