Publishing — Strategy & Integrated Campaign for the Newspaper's 80th Anniversary.

01The Challenge

Giornale di Brescia celebrated 80 years of journalism and of building a strong relationship with its local community. The anniversary was an opportunity to highlight a heritage shaped by history, people and collective memory, without limiting the celebration to the past. The goal was to create a narrative capable of reaffirming the newspaper’s contemporary role while projecting its identity towards the future.

02Our Approach

WISE developed the strategic and creative concept for the entire anniversary programme, defining the 80th anniversary logo, the claim “Read the present, write the future”, and the campaign’s visual and narrative system. The concept was then translated into an integrated communication project spanning the city, the wider local area and multiple channels, from urban communication to audiovisual production.

03The Result

An anniversary transformed into a Brand, communication and community engagement project, bringing an 80-year heritage into a contemporary context. The campaign took the story of Giornale di Brescia beyond its pages, creating a dialogue between memory and the future and strengthening the newspaper’s connection with its community.

Concept & Strategy

Definition of the strategic and creative concept for the anniversary, designed to present 80 years not as a milestone, but as a starting point for the future.

The strategic direction

80 years as a beginning, not a milestone.

The concept stems from a clear choice: not to celebrate the past, but to use it as a foundation for reaffirming the newspaper's role today. Every element of the project — identity, narrative and touchpoints — follows this direction, creating a dialogue between the newspaper's history and the community that continues to read it.

01

Heritage

A legacy of history, front pages and the collective memory of the local community.

02

Present

The contemporary role of the newspaper in the life of the community.

03

Future

A direction that projects the newspaper's identity forward.

Anniversary Brand Identity

Design of the official 80th anniversary logo and the celebration's visual system, developed to highlight Giornale di Brescia's heritage while maintaining a contemporary language consistent with the identity of the newspaper.

The number becomes the centrepiece of the anniversary identity: a bold, recognisable figure built on the newspaper's historic colour codes — yellow and black — alongside the "1945 — 2025" block. A contemporary mark that remains instantly readable as Giornale di Brescia.
