De Rigo: eyewear, design, and innovation with virtual try-on

Could you give a brief description of your company?

Alessandro RIGATO: "First and foremost, De Rigo is a family with a fascinating history, worth telling and sharing.
That is a convergence of experience, reliability, and resourcefulness.

It was founded in 1978 by the brothers Ennio and Walter De Rigo as a small company of artisans working in the area of Belluno. In the following years, De Rigo SpA grew tremendously, becoming a leading Group in the glasses market.
The Group's products are distributed in over 80 countries, through 16 branches with 4 retail divisions and over 100 independent distributors."

My role with licensees is to follow their needs in terms of communication on official Police channels and keep the collections up-to-date on our website (additions and terminations).

I personally follow the allocation of the media budget on the channels together with Police brand manager, the reporting activity and the results sharing with all the group's subsidiaries, to create a constantly updated knowledge of the brand's online performances."
