MANO Stories Style of success: Stefano Marzano
Where does style come from? Why do most successful men often develop their own? Can you learn to have style and develop your own?
In this series of exclusive interviews for MANO we try to uncover the secrets and vision of successful personalities who have made style their own trademark.
Today we have with us Stefano Marzano, Digital Marketing & Services Manager at Esprinet.
Hi Stefano, let's start by telling our readers something about you and your entrepreneurial story.
I'm Stefano Marzano, born and raised in Milan, where I still live today. I've always been passionate and curious about new technologies and the web, as well as deeply loving nature and sports.
Open to any kind of discussion or challenge.
My career began as a web consultant during my last year of university, then I became a Manager in the same field, up to today, in the role I hold as Digital Marketing & Services Manager.
In all these years I have never stopped studying and exploring the dynamics related to the Web and today everything concerning Digital.
What does having style mean to you?
Not overdoing it, knowing how to stand out without showing off.
Knowing how to attract the attention of people you find interesting, who in turn are able to express a style always suited to the context, being able to set themselves apart from the crowd.
What are the ways, not necessarily related to fashion or accessories, in which you express the fact that you are a man of style?
Even just through the tone of voice, which should never be loud or out of place, or through the words used, and through calm movements, never exaggerated gestures.
Globalization tends to standardize production and make it efficient in processes, including commercial ones, leaving less room for small production businesses.
In light of this statement, how much value do you place on Italian craftsmanship?
I place very high value on it, and I hope it can gain even more, thanks also to projects and entrepreneurs who can help our craftsmanship stand out even further, especially abroad.
What are the 3 things you like most about Italian craftsmanship, and how do you think the "new class" of Italian artisans should move today, from a commercial standpoint?
1. Tradition
2. The diversification linked to the culture of the territory
3. The skill of the artisans themselves, who in Italy know how to stand out from the rest of the world.
I believe they also need to make the leap in terms of "getting known" and selling online, all thanks to the dynamics that only digital can offer today.
Your professional background is that of someone who has moved with autonomy and independence. If you had a suggestion to give to young people entering the world of work, what would you suggest to them?
Never stop being curious and never stop studying, especially the changes around them!
