MLC Consulting embarked on a transformative journey with Fil Man Made Group (FMMG), a traditional and international family-owned Italian company, facing the challenge of rejuvenating its leadership team.

FMMG’s struggle lies in its difficulty attracting young talent due to its relatively unknown B2B brand among the younger generations.

MLC Consulting’s task was to revamp FMMG’s corporate branding communication in a way that resonated with millennial students, making the prospect of working for FMMG an aspirational dream. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

cLIENT BACKGROUND<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

With its rich heritage as a traditional family-owned multinational, Fil Man Made Group faced a critical juncture in its evolution. The need to infuse fresh energy into its leadership team highlighted a broader challenge: attracting millennial talent to its workforce. Given the company’s low profile in B2B sectors amongst younger demographics, FMMG needed a strategy that would highlight its values and culture and align with the aspirations and expectations of the next generation of leaders. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

cHALLENGE<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

FMMG found itself at a crossroads, needing to appeal to a generation that values meaningful work and cultural alignment over traditional incentives. <\/strong>The task was to communicate the company’s ethos in a manner that would captivate millennials, who often viewed the prospect of starting their careers in a manufacturing, traditional setting with skepticism.

The central question was: How could FMMG’s brand story be told in a way that engaged young graduates and made them envision a fulfilling career path within a company they do not know and they feel too traditional and old school? <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<\/h4><\/div>


MLC Consulting partnered with Fil Man Made Group (FMMG), a traditional family-owned Italian company, to address a pressing challenge: rejuvenating its leadership team by attracting young, millennial talent. FMMG faced the hurdle of being relatively unknown in B2B sectors among younger generations, which hindered its ability to attract the next generation of leaders. The objective was to revamp FMMG’s corporate branding to resonate with millennial values and aspirations, making FMMG an aspirational workplace. The strategic solution involved leveraging emotional engagement and strategic storytelling to bridge generational gaps, resulting in a successful transformation of FMMG’s employer brand.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

Challenge<\/h4><\/div>


FMMG needed to attract millennials who value meaningful work and cultural fit. They sought to tell their brand story in a way that engaged skeptical millennials and made them see a fulfilling career with the company.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

Solution<\/h4><\/div>


The MLC team collaborated with FMMG’s owner to distill the essence of what made the company an ideal workplace. They then crafted a narrative and presentation aimed at bridging the gap between FMMG’s values and millennial aspirations, making FMMG an attractive employer to them.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

RESULT<\/h4><\/div>


The strategic storytelling led to an immediate and profound impact. Following the founder’s presentation at a university, millennial students showed great interest in FMMG opportunities. The founder’s visit to MLC’s offices was delayed as the university wanted to record his presentation, emphasizing its impact as a “student success case.”<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SOLUTION<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

The MLC Team began with the question: “What is the biggest worry for young graduates?”.

After answering this question, the MLC team created a storytelling-audience-based strategy, designing a narrative for the owner\u2019s speech and a visually compelling presentation.

The entire project was about reverting the perspective from a self-referential narrative to new storytelling that put the young graduates at the center of the story<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u200bThe MLC Approach<\/h3><\/div><\/div>


Every powerful storytelling starts with the audience.<\/strong>

The biggest challenge <\/strong>was matching the young grads’ desire to have an immediate impact <\/strong>with the traditional culture of a family-owned business in which things have “always been made” the same way.

The FMMG’s previously failed presentations<\/strong> all talked about them, creating an absolutely self-centered narrative.

The MLC Team <\/strong>decided to invest in researching how to change the perspective<\/strong>.

This narrative was designed to highlight FMMG\u2019s rich heritage<\/strong>, commitment to innovation, and culture that values contributions from every team member.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

\u200bThe insight<\/h3><\/div><\/div>


The critical insight that drove the strategy was recognizing millennials’ desire for meaningful work<\/strong> that aligns with their values and aspirations for making a difference and having a concrete impact.

This generation <\/strong>seeks employers that offer a job and a fulfilling<\/strong> career <\/strong>path that contributes to their personal and professional growth<\/strong>.

The young generation <\/strong>is also impatient and not used to committing and sacrificing<\/strong> to achieve long-term results.

The insight highlighted storytelling<\/strong> was a powerful tool to communicate FMMG’s values and culture in an engaging and relatable way, but it needed to change perspective<\/strong> from being company-centered to being audience-centered.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

\u200bThe Process<\/h3><\/div><\/div>


The MLC Team began with an in-depth briefing<\/strong> with the FMMG owner <\/strong>to distill <\/strong>what made the company a “dream workplace” from his perspective<\/strong>.

Armed with these insights, we embarked on a creative endeavor to bridge the gap between FMMG’s traditional values and the aspirations of young talents. <\/strong>

This involved crafting a compelling narrative for the owner’s speech<\/strong> and designing an impactful presentation.

The strategy aimed to translate FMMG’s corporate culture and values into a story that resonated deeply with the millennial audience, enabling them to see FMMG as a desirable employer<\/strong>. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The impact of this strategic storytelling was immediate and profound.<\/strong> Following the founder’s presentation at a university, there was an overwhelming response from the millennial students,<\/strong> who were engaged and eager to learn more about opportunities at FMMG.

The founder’s visit to MLC’s office to celebrate this success was delayed due to the university’s request for him to record his presentation, underscoring the presentation’s impact as a “student success case”.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
