LIVING WITH COVID-19 DURING THE ACUTE OUTBREAK IN ITALY 3° Release – 25 March 20 Confidential and proprietary information of GroupM. Any unauthorized reproduction prohibited. All rights reserved
COVID-19: 15+ DAYS AFTER THE LOCKDOWN At the time of this 3° writing, Italy is still in the Acute Outbreak, which is the focus of this document once again. The Acute Outbreak stage is not simply a function of the number of confirmed cases of an illness, but the accompanying knock-on effect on the economy, the media and on consumer confidence. Uncertainty is the over-riding characteristic across these period. At a time when no-one has a clear understanding of how events will evolve and yet so many have an (often ill- informed) opinion, the need to communicate clearly, calmly and regularly becomes paramount. Together with closeness and presence, and why not a bit of entertainment, to manage this period of alienation and melancholy. Without forgetting to sustain media. They are the key drivers of information and entertainment. Eight years ago Mario Draghi at the Global investment Conference in London said: “Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the Euro. And believe me, it will be enough”. During these difficult days for Italy, the Government has declared its ‘whatever it takes’ waiting for the new steps from EU. Is there a ‘whatever it takes’ for communication? Does is till make sense to talk about brand and communication? What made brands an integral part of people’s lives was the ability of offering practical and emotional values. And it will be the same also in the future to come, although in different, new and unexpected forms. This new release is a step ahead to support our clients into monitoring this acute phase. Although all these difficulties, we think that communication and media still play a strategic role from an economic as well as social point of view. 2 Confidential and proprietary information of GroupM.

MANAGING UNCERTAINTY WITH CONFIDENCE We have now entered the 3° week of lockdown and from last Sunday the new Government measures have further increased. So it is hardly surprising that Italians’ fear is higher than the previous weeks. People are really worried about the impact the crisis will have on their status quo, jobs and on the domestic economy. Besides these data, we are also measuring unexpected results in consumer sentiment, especially towards the National Health Service. As a matter of facts, 80% of the population considers our National Health Service to be coping with the difficult situation. The confidence for the Government grows as well and Italians are showing themselves cohesive around the institutions. Fortunately, the trust doesn’t seem to decrease. Needless to say, that the approaches to the crisis are different according to the personal attitudes as well as the financial, economic and logistic condition of each of us. That’s why we have outlined a picture of new emerging Italian Personas in this acute phase. It is a qualitative audience segmentation according to the way of living and coping with the emergency. Sometimes it is useful to leave statistics and researches to try to think out of the box and focus on more specific, adaptive and customized communications designed around the different Personas. Our commitment is to continue to keep you updated with analysis and insights on the impact and consequences of these difficult days. Stay tuned! Confidential and proprietary information of GroupM.
