Where a winning tactic begins

In the tobacco and next-generation product (NGP) sector, it is essential to adopt a clear strategy and fully understand the landscape in which you operate.

I have been working in this field since 2015, and today I put the experience I’ve gained at the service of those who wish to better understand the Italian market, introduce new products into tobacconists’ shops, or strengthen their presence.

Who Can Benefit

Consulting services are primarily aimed at companies operating in the traditional tobacco sector and in new-generation products (e-cigarettes, HNB, nicotine pouches). They are designed for businesses looking to introduce new products in Italy or strengthen their presence and brand positioning in the market.
