How the website is changing
A new project: we underwent a major GUI restyling in 2014, now we are
focusing on the CMS. Drupal is the key to renew a technical platform still
stuck to 2001
Evolving (not fast enough): we were part of a regional constellation of 12
identical websites; now, after 15 years, we’re going solo
We have an editorial team of about 100 people (coordinated by a central
office) and we need to manage change not only in technical terms, but
also in organizational terms

Ente/attività/promozione
Website
Customer Experience and
Usability
Responsive design: the last GUI restyling is our best effort to meet our users
halfway – we have a LOT of information an it’s not simple to organize it
Usability engineering & annual usability tests – that’s how
we try to stay the course
The laws about public administration websites in Italy are constantly
evolving too: that’s a major problem for the IT and the Communication
dept.: we need constant adjustment

Ente/attività/promozione
Website
CRM and personalisation
Many websites or one website? With our new project, we’re trying to bring
back everything to a single channel (also, to ensure that the source of
services is acknowledged as the Torino Chamber of Commerce)
Our new website will manage better: personal areas and private download
pages, events subscription and agenda settings, surveys, customer
satisfaction, personalized mailing and more
The strategy behind that: identify, differentiate & engage our target,
identify opportunities (and risks) to convey content, develop internal
capabilities, measure & refine communication

Social Media
Social Media &
digital tools
YouTube
LinkedIn
Flickr
Facebook
All social media used in sync for
specific projects / events
Twitter
8
Ente/attività/promozione
Social Media
Twitter: media relations
made easier
We started defining the target, the tone, the expected amount of tweets
and a policy
Define KPIs & use analytics to better understand the way our audience
interacts with our tweets
Engage in conversations and live tweet on every occasion (events, press
conferences, etc)
Weekly planning the content, using Hootsuite to schedule tweets as long
as G+ posts (simply a mirroring)
9
Ente/attività/promozione
Social Media
YouTube: promoting our
services
Video archive for promotional clips, interviews, tutorials, TV news about us
Integration with other social media (Twitter, LinkedIn): YouTube in itself is
more visualization and less conversation
Viral vehicle for our motion graphics clips (integrated with major press
conferences & events)
10
Ente/attività/promozione
Social Media
LinkedIn: establishing
communities
Company page is a landmark we recently claimed
Showcase pages for specific business projects (Exage, Italian Automotive
Components)
Groups to engage professionals focusing on a project (Meet@Torino):
in this specific case, LinkedIn was a major part of the process, allowing
piedmontese professionals from all over the world to re-connect
11
Ente/attività/promozione
Social Media
Facebook: a matter of presence
Currently not interested in the Facebook conversation since it’s not
perceived as an institutional opportunity – needs a complex internal policy
We are however claiming the “Place Page” to oversee basic
information and prevent diffamatory content
Could be great for project specific pages (ex. “Yes - Enjoy Torino Top
Hospitality”, or informal discussion groups among users (we started one
for “Stati generali delle donne in Piemonte”)
12
Ente/attività/promozione
Social Media
Flickr: sharing a photographic
archive
Recently established for 9th WCC photographic archive
Precious for hi-res pictures to share with media & journalists, the
possibility of direct download and the privacy management
13
Ente/natura e missione/sito
Social Media
Data Visualization &
Infographics
A new way to present economic data (a
valuable asset of the Chamber of Commerce)
in a graphic or animated format
Viral content gets more visualizations and can
be re-launched on social media (and on
traditional media too!)
Digital Communication Management is hence
hosted in the Media Relations offices
14
Ente/attività/promozione
Social Media
Communicating
the viral way
We always try to engage in data journalism: press releases and press
conferences are accompanied by infographics and/or motion graphics clips
Viral graphic / video content that arouses curiosity about “serious” topics
Examples: specific projects (NiLab, Meet@Torino), annual reports
(household expenses in Torino, automotive parts survey, figures about
enterprises in Torino) economic studies (innovative enterprises survey, bills in
Piedmont region, foreign workers in Torino survey, economic returns on the
territory of various events)
