The most satisfying moment of the week came courtesy of those 4 blue buttons in the Report section of our management system (it only took a month of work to get them up and running!). They are designed to help us considerably in streamlining administration. When I tried them out

The highlight of the week came courtesy of Davide Santocchi, former writer for Maccio Capatonda, a super famous Italian comedian, who shot test videos for new ads for Fabula 😂 You can see them on our TikTok >> https://www.tiktok.com/@.sefirot Projects in the making * A TikTok filter.

Say hello to a nightly test of an intùiti TikTok filter. This is one of our side projects 😂 If you happen to see it in the next few days, it means it worked! It smells like collaborations. Last weekend I went to an event in Turin and discovered that Sefirot

Yesterday we had a call with Angelo, one of our amazing developers. Here you can see us immersed in the code looking for a bug. We are creating an automated system that will save over 20 hours of admin time per month 🤟 Courses and manuals.  We have finally launched Sefirot&

Last weekend I was in Bologna as a guest at Hacking Creativity Unplugged, the first physical podcast event that I highly recommend you follow (if your Italian is any good)😉 I presented BAD to an audience of more than 120 people and I was as comfortable as I've

Simone and I shot some new videos for BAD. At first we followed the script, then we started laughing, and well...I think the best shots are the ones that came out at the end when we just went with the flow. You'll see them on FB soon

In the last week my days have been much like the image above: messy but in dire need of preciseness while I made landing pages for all the new courses we are introducing 😱 In the meantime, Sara is laying out 400 pages of analysis made with Fabula; Simone is sorting

Over the weekend we were guests of the Gomma Festival in Milan and had a much better time than we expected. (You can see Matteo and Sara in the pic; Simone took the only shot we have of the whole weekend 😂) Let’s face it. We didn't feel

I was struggling with this bulletin and asked intùiti for help. The cards I drew (the ones in the photo) invited me to focus on the joy of living and the concept of giving and receiving. The word «joy» in particular resonated with me 😘 A possible misunderstanding. I think fatigue

As you may have noticed, I took a long break. The biggest challenge this year - and it's funny given all the turmoil of the past weeks - has been to actually disconnect. Getting on a plane for a non-business trip made my knees shake 😂 In the photo,

What is the difference between something we like and something we don't like? Between something that "works" and something that doesn't work? I asked myself this same question at nineteen, when my Design professor handed me back my very first submission saying: «It doesn’

Small teams grow ❤️ It's impressive to think that a few years ago there were just two of us and now we have to make alignment calls to decide how to coordinate the workflow. Hurray for benchmarking. This week the creative team (Sara, Simone, and Daniela) was on a

The above is a graph of Sefirot's market positioning. Among our main competitors, in addition to manuals, courses, chatGPT, we also included "talent" 😂 Let’s talk about competitor analysis. There are two big mistakes one can make when it comes to competitor analysis: the first is

Pictured here you can see the 12 relay copies of BAD in Italian and English. Overlooking the copies there's Simone's satisfied expression because, in addition to being beautiful, unlike our other products, they are also bulky and it makes quite an impression to see them stacked

Yesterday we went to Dalia Oggero’s home, the editor from Einaudi who supervised us in the design of Edito. We filmed some videos at her place (even one in which we discuss our aggressive ads 😂) - It ended around a table eating pasta, drinking wine, and chatting about publishing.

No bulletin last week because I was in Umbria attending a shamanic training. It was an intense, impossible to describe five days. Yesterday, while we were doing the weekly briefing and Daniela was reminding me of the endless list of backlogged tasks with my name on it, I was explaining
