Unsolicited advice

Look through all the Netflix shows and movies, scroll through your Kindle, search all you want: there always comes a time when you can’t find anything good to watch or read. And you give up. You decide to listen to music, but even your own playlists have started to sound ho-hum. It happens to all of us.
So here is a quick little selection of things that deserve to be seen, read, and listened to. Unsolicited advice, sometimes haphazard and perhaps questionable, but valid for one fundamental reason: they’ve left an impression on us. And, who knows? They may leave one on you too.

As far as explorers can read, hear, see.

Venturing into unknown worlds demands a keen intuition and boundless curiosity. Characteristics that are imperative to the work of our Tendering Specialists.

Here are their unsolicited tips: good reads, stuff to watch and listen to that will transport us to far-off places and lesser-known realities, pushing us to ponder our world and the human condition.

Climate. Social media. AI. New generations. Crazy expectations. The landscape is shifting beneath our feet. Every innovation, every disruption, demands a reset.

But one thing never changes: the need to communicate.

From cave walls to cloud servers

Ancient hunters trading stories by firelight. History scratched into stone, painted on cave walls. Scribes inking wisdom onpapyrus. Ideas spread by mouth, messages passed by hand. From radio to television. Texts to the infinite digital world.

No matter the age or technology, communication is essential. Its survival. Human connection. Knowledge must move —or it’s lost. And so are we.

There’s a lot at stake.

Rising temperatures and melting glaciers. Catastrophic wildfires and devastating floods. Human-induced emissions that pollute the air we breathe. Issues affecting our climate and atmosphere aren’t just topics for specialists — they impact our daily lives, our health, and our collective future. Data-driven insight is key to empowerment. Awareness is the first step toward meaningful action.

The information is out there. And we all need to hear it.

So… what now?

Now we turn scientific evidence into real-world understanding. We transform data into stories. Build bridges between expertise and everyday reality.

Science isn’t just for scientists anymore. It’s for all of us. And we’re here to share the insight – with you.

See how Blossom and Copernicus are changing the conversation about our planet.

Milan, Via Tortona 9. It didn’t take long for Giacomo Frigerio, CEO and Founder of Blossom, to realize this was the right place. This is where we’ve moved, and this is where we invite you to join us in a new chapter of Transforming Perspectives. Watch now.

People say all sorts of things about Milan. That it’s grey and overcast, but also vibrant; international, but never enough; fast-paced, but familiar. Hard to pin down—much like those who can’t sit still and have change in their DNA. That’s Milan. Nowhere is this more true than in Tortona. 

Tortona is a fracture that refuses to heal, where fragments of the past remain embedded in the framework of the present. Once, there were factories, workshops, workers’ homes, and the Porta Genova railway as its backbone. Today, warehouses have become ateliers, old glassworks are now creative hubs, courtyards double as exhibition spaces. There are long-standing shops and concept stores, young designers and the carpenter methodically sanding his furniture, legacy fashion houses and the hardware store owner who’s always been here—each with their own perspective on the neighborhood. There’s a persistent sense of restlessness in the air. 

Blossom couldn’t have chosen anywhere else. Via Tortona 9, in a building that has kept its foundations but transformed many times over. It isn’t just an office; it’s a hub for transformation. Here, people are free to challenge themselves and each other, continually encouraged to reframe their outlook. Anything can happen: team brainstorms, the creation of new tools to rethink communication, unforgettable events and dinners. Giacomo Frigerio saw immediately that this was the right place for Blossom. Together with architects Michele Bellinzona and Alberto Fraterrigo-Garofalo, who oversaw its renovation, he leads us here—into the heart of Tortona. Where transformation happens. 

BRANDING AND STRATEGIC RESTYLING

Vert is the line of eco-detergents under the Chanteclair brand. Known for its focus on
sustainability, the range was at risk of being identified with an image that didn’t fully
communicate the strength and performance consumers expect. Blossom stepped in to lead a
strategic restyling: reinforcing the sustainable positioning while making the products’
powerful effectiveness immediately clear. The outcome is a visual identity that moves past the
compromise between green aesthetics and proven performance.

FROM GENERIC CODES TO A DISTINCTIVE MARK

A process of structured dialogue with the Real Chimica team led to a redesign, with a bolder
green palette and a visual hierarchy that highlights the product name and key benefits. The
goal: to overcome the widespread perception that “green” means less effective compared to
traditional cleaners. In this context, Vert’s new image was shaped to make its dual strength—
sustainability and cleaning power—instantly visible.

For the third consecutive year, ILO has chosen Blossom to give voice—through an official video presented at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park—to its vision of social justice and decent work. This event brings together activism, institutions, and civil society, shining a light on the crucial issues of work, rights, and sustainability.

The ongoing partnership between ILO and Blossom is built on strategic and creative dialogue, transforming values and priorities into impactful global communication tools. The video challenges us to rethink the role of work: not just a paycheck, but the foundation of dignity, social cohesion, and inclusive development. Data, vision, and a direct call to action: renew the social contract to build a fairer future.

Watch the video and see how partnership can transform the global conversation.

From Karate to Boxing. Martina Caruso’s Rise to the Top.

Watch the latest episode of Transforming Perspectives.

July 2021. Heat, windows wide open, TVs on.
One year late, the Tokyo Olympics finally air.

Sitting in front of one of those screens is Martina Caruso. For years, she dominated karate mats around the world, collecting European and World Championship medals. Then, still at the top of her game, she walked away. Done. But watching the Olympics, she feels something is missing. Competition—that’s what. A few days later, she laces up a pair of boxing gloves. Four months later, she steps into the ring for her first professional match. With one goal in mind: becoming the greatest female boxer of all time.

She tells us about it in the gym where she trains every day, in Brianza. What started as a simple conversation turns into a sparring session. And what we thought was just a story about switching sports turns out to be something much bigger. Because Martina isn’t built for comfort zones. She doesn’t fear a challenge, whether it’s an opponent or herself. She’s been facing pain her whole life—inside and outside the ring. And when things are left unfinished, she doesn’t let them hang.
She closes the loop. But, most of all, she knows there’s only one way to get where she wants to be: shifting her perspective. Every single day.
