Project Details

The IED Alumni & Career Community is an international network of over 100k students that have graduated from all of the IED venues in Italy, Spain and Brazil, since 1966. It's an incredible community made by great talents that cover all of the design fields. The Community has always been present as a newsletter that they sent to all the students that recently graduated IED but they needed to expand the communication through more direct Social Media channels, like Instagram and Discord. That's when I came in.

"I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Giancarlo over the past two years, and his contributions as Community & Project Manager have consistently raised the bar for our work within the Career & Alumni department at IED. His proactive mindset and sharp organizational skills have been instrumental in ensuring that every initiative led by the Alumni department runs smoothly, while also fostering genuine engagement across the network."

My Role in this Project

My role here was Community & Project Manager. During my time with the Alumni Department, the main goal of our collaboration was to amplify the communication between the IED Alumni Department and the Alumni community, by creating custom content alongside them and their partners. During my time with IED I've collaborated with incredible brands like Ciesse Piumini, Fiscozen, Fourisalone, Statista, IO Donna and others.
I also produced two podcast formats that are still visible to this day on IED's main channels; one called "What's Poppin?", an interview format made with some of the best Alumni during 2021's Design Week and a remote Vodcast called "Beyond The Talent" where I interviewed remote Alumni.
