Mondadori Media, Italy’s leading digital and social publisher, will today present Mondadori Media Social TV during the opening day of Intersections 2025, the event dedicated to digital innovation, marketing, communication, creativity and technology. The project represents a highly innovative initiative that blends narrative frameworks and television-quality standards with the relational power of social media.

This new venture brings together the strength of Mondadori Media’s digital communities with serial storytelling: a cross-brand ecosystem involving GialloZafferano, MypersonalTrainer, The Wom and Webboh, with a schedule of 12 new video formats and over 200 episodes per year, designed to move beyond passive scrolling.

A NEW ERA OF DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT

Mondadori Media Social TV emerges as the natural evolution of an editorial ecosystem that today counts more than 130 million followers, 500 million monthly video views and 25 million monthly interactions. It is a universe capable of engaging diverse and complementary audiences – from food lovers to fitness enthusiasts, beauty fans, and through to Gen Z and Gen Alpha – using the authentic and distinctive languages of each media brand.

With this initiative, the company inaugurates a new era of digital entertainment, recognising video as the most appealing and high-performing format, able to engage digital communities through compelling experiences and conversations.

Over the past few years, social networks have become an essential entertainment ecosystem in which Mondadori Media, already the market leader, reaches an audience comparable to some prime-time television programmes,” said Andrea Santagata, CEO of Mondadori Media Digital and MarTech Hub. “With Mondadori Media Social TV, we are taking a further step in our innovation journey, offering content that combines the spontaneity of social media with the highest-quality television production values, with the aim of driving even greater loyalty and depth,” Santagata concluded.

NEW MEDIA POWERHOUSE

Creativity, production, community, social distribution and measurability are the pillars that have always defined Mondadori Media. Today the company is entering a new phase of growth with the launch of a New Media Powerhouse, an advanced structure with six production studios across Segrate, Milan and Rome, and a team of more than thirty specialists dedicated to creating original formats. It is a diverse and close-knit team capable of delivering high-quality original content, bringing together writers, video makers, directors and hosts, along with soundcheckers, graphic designers, guest stars, creators, make up artists and chefs.

Mondadori Media is strengthening its leadership in the sector through its ability to innovate digital communication, anticipate media consumption trends and enhance the strength of its communities through collaborative and cross-platform storytelling.

THE FIRST SCHEDULE OF MONDADORI MEDIA SOCIAL TV

Mondadori Media Social TV has a clear and specific goal: to combine the quality and rituality of television with the spontaneity and relational power of social media.

With intimate interviews, curious insights, engaging content and premium entertainment, all enriched by the empathetic tone that defines Mondadori Media’s brands, Mondadori Media Social TV has created an innovative editorial schedule organised into three main categories of new formats. These include Vodcasts, Shorts and On Demand content available on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and Spotify, designed to offer ongoing, multi platform experiences to increasingly active and engaged communities.
