Digital communication with a new format
In the latest part of the now established industry talk, episode 5, René Köhler from Sappi and a partner company present their strategic collaboration for the joint development of sustainable packaging solutions, which has been in place since 2018 - with great success.
The guests on the Blue Couch show how the switch from plastic to paper-based solutions can be realised effectively and reliably at www.sappi-bluecouch.com.
Following the virtual trade fair as an alternative to the interpack 2020 show in last spring, the “Blue Couch” is the next digital format conceived to enable Sappi to stay in touch with customers and to address new interested parties. We are truly delighted with our client Sappi’s innovative spirit: In addition to concept development, moderation and production, we are also responsible for communicating the programme across channels and for successfully establishing the new format with the target audience.
