The agency welcomes six new Amapolers

Reinforcements for our sustainability team.

We couldn’t be more delighted: six new professionals have arrived to boost our agency.

The new arrivals are Elisa Gamba, a CSR specialist who will be working on reporting projects, Rossana Sparacino, an account executive and expert in territorial relations, Anna Filippucci, a junior account, Paola Compierchio, a new entry in the administrative department, Sara Rabellino, who joins the multimedia division, and Silvia Bonzano, a sales account who comes into the commercial team.

The new “Amapolers” enhance a group dedicated entirely to sustainability. The expansion was a necessary move: in 2022 the agency worked with more than 70 clients and was involved in over 30 sustainability reporting projects.

«The entry of new talents is always exciting and consolidates one of our cornerstones: to create work, work that people find stimulating,» says Amapola founder Luca Valpreda. «As Amapola grows, so each one of us grows with it.»
