From ice cream machines to Gelato University
Founded in 1946, Carpigiani soon established itself as a market leader in the sector of artisanal ice cream machines. With the spread of the culture of "Italian ice cream" in the world, in the 60s and 70s, it started a strong expansion also at an international level.
Today Carpigiani is a large international company with 8 branches around the world, more than 200 distributors and over 500 service centers.
The group also offers training for ice cream makers: in 2003 Carpigiani Gelato University was born, which trains almost 7,000 people every year in ice cream and pastry courses.
Finally, a museum entirely dedicated to ice cream could not be missing: inaugurated in 2012, Carpigiani Gelato Museum, in addition to the usual visits to learn about the history of ice cream, also offers workshops, events, tastings and educational workshops for schools.
Did we say gelato? Let's freshen up our ideas with a quick round up of the projects we developed for Carpigiani Group:

Become a gelatiere! Worldwide campaigns
For Carpigiani Gelato University, visibility at a global level is a key factor for the success of sales: gelatouniversity.com site benefits from excellent natural indexing and good positioning on search engines, also thanks to the notoriety of the Carpigiani brand. Paid advertising campaigns contribute to visibility with selected targets for specific search keywords, stimulating the purchase of courses with appropriate calls-to-action.
Carpigiani Gelato University provides language courses both at the headquarters in Anzola nell'Emilia and at 10 international locations. Every year students from all over the world come to Bologna to learn the art of gelato: Carpigiani Gelato University speaks English, French, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and German, to name just some of the languages in which knowledge about the art of Italian gelatois transmitted.
Many of these students of all ages buy their course directly online, on the gelatouniversity.com website, and 12% of them arrive through Google Ads campaigns that we have been running for some years on behalf of the School. International campaigns in five languages have generated to date about 5,000 prospects and direct orders from the site, for a turnover of € 275,000.
From dream to purchase the step is short
My gelato course? I buy it online!
Where? On Carpigiani Gelato University portal which is many things together, including a complete e-commerce for the purchase of courses of various types.
We are strongly bonded to this project, the first we developed on behalf of Carpigiani Group: the heart of the portal is certainly the educational offer with multilingual courses, preparatory online courses with handouts and videos, itinerant and classroom courses in the Carpigiani offices around the world, customized courses for those with special needs.
Those who cultivate the dream of opening a gelato shop in Italy or abroad can refer to it to find every level of training, from basic courses to thematic and highly specialized ones. There are many second generation emigrants, children of Italians residing abroad, who decide to stop in Anzola to learn and export the Italian art of gelato to the country in which they live.
All courses can be booked and purchased online also by credit card. Language, location and dates are defined during the purchase process. At the disposal of each navigator there is a reserved area in which it is possible to view the list of purchased courses and all payments and where the multimedia documentation of the courses attended is made available.
The front-end side is completed by an articulated back-end structure, through which the staff of the School manages everything related to the courses: the educational offer published online, prices, promotions and all the information contained on the site, but also the orders, complete personal data of each student, the archive of the courses they attended, their payment status, satisfaction surveys. The management system also provides statistical data on sales, on attendance to courses and manages additional data, such as those relating to the gelato market in the various countries of the world or the database of ice cream parlours, which can be used for multi-channel marketing operations.
The management of contents in different languages
Editors in the four corners of the world can work simultaneously on the content management system, publishing information in 13 different languages, including Russian, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
