      cc-tapis is an Italian company specialized in contemporary flooring solutions, creating unique one-off pieces for residential use and large contract projects for retail and hospitality spacesI am in charge of all national and international communication for the company. It is my responsibility to manage and create suitable content for both BTB and BTC channels, writing copy and developing our print and digital outlets accordingly. I work in parallel with our sales-team to develop targeted weekly newsletters in 5 different languages for corporate use, direct communication to existing clients and for the creation of general brand awareness content for an extensive and global data-base of retailers, architects and interior-designers. Managing an external PR agency, we develop communication strategies for both the company on a corporate level to the launch of new releases and collaborations targeting specific design, fashion and general media, both online and print.I have been able to develop relationships in the digital media from the large global magazine groups who have a mass "interior-decoration" focus and also the independent magazines who have a more targeted audience with more conceptual and artistic content. Another important aspect of my job is to develop relationships with the external designers and artists whom cc-tapis collaborates with, defining their contracts and working intimately with them to understand and communicate their inspiration and the creative processes. It is essential to divide this information so that it can be used effectively for the press, social media and our BTB clients.
