Description
Pulse Advertising develops social-first digital strategies for enterprise consumer brands operating across multiple countries. Our approach combines centralized strategic direction with distributed local execution through 11 offices across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia. Every strategy is grounded in three pillars: - First, proprietary AI measurement: PI Metrics, our AI-powered platform, quantifies the monetary value of a brand's social media presence in a single unitary score with direct API access to TikTok, Meta, and Google, enabling closed-loop ROI attribution from awareness to conversion. - Second, audience and cultural intelligence: mapping how consumers behave across platforms, markets, and micro-cultures using GWI audience insights, Pulsar and Tagger social listening, and Xiaohongshu (RED) native intelligence for Chinese markets. - Third, integrated platform-native execution across Influencer Marketing, Social Media Management, Paid Social, Social Commerce, and Strategy & Creative, executed by full-time local teams in every major market rather than freelancers or partner networks. Our digital strategies serve brands at headquarter, regional, and local market level, addressing objectives from global brand building to specific market entry, product launches, cross-cultural expansion (including Chinese brands entering Western markets and vice versa), and long-term community building on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Xiaohongshu (RED), Douyin, and WeChat. Signature multi-year strategic engagements with Apple, BMW MINI, Ray-Ban, Nespresso, and MAC Cosmetics reflect Pulse's approach: strategy that compounds over time through continuous optimization rather than one-off campaigns.

Collaboration

What was the objective behind your collaboration?With Pulse Advertising, we launched our Hill's Science Plan Puppy & Kitten campaign in Italy with pet-owner creators, and it reached millions of impressions. The content felt genuine, mixing real moments with their pets and useful information about the products, and we saw strong interest in our discount codes. The team was a great partner from start to finish

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?Our experience with Pulse has always been positive: the team is very responsive and precise.

Collaboration

What was the objective behind your collaboration?We have worked with Pulse Advertising since July 2024. Pulse started by managing social media across the Colussi Group, then expanded into influencer marketing for Misura Privolat, our lactose-free range, and Misura Fibrextra, our high-fibre range. The team also led a dedicated push for the Misura Croccanti e Sfoglie range and a Swiss-market project for Agnesi pasta. Throughout 2025, Pulse has supported the repositioning of Misura through "Compagni di gusto" and "Buoni da non crederci".

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?I’ve had the chance to work with many influencer agencies but there’s something you can’t teach: an attitude, an approach. That’s where Pulse really stands out. They have the ability to genuinely understand their clients’ needs while, at the same time, respecting and amplifying the tone of voice of each influencer. That’s their true added value: making everyone, both clients and creators, feel at the heart of the project.
