Webboh: a record-breaking summer with music, creators, live shows and lots of fun

The 'Webboh Fest' music tour and 'Webboh Camp' have cemented themselves as unmissable events for young people:

● over 50 Gen Z idols met the brand community

● great participation in attendance events with more than 20,000 young people

● over 100 million reaches and 1.5 million social interactions

And now they're all set to go back to school with the new edition of the BeYou Diary, a whole school line and other branded initiatives

There’s been great success for Webboh, Italy’s number one media brand for the younger generation with a digital audience of 4.5 million followers, which closes the summer with record numbers.
Eight events in the area, all sold out, more than 50 Gen Z idols on stage at the events organised around Italy, more than 20,000 kids who took part in the eagerly awaited shows, registering significant results, and on social media with 100 million reaches and more than 1.5 million interactions.
These are results that confirm Webboh ‘s extraordinary ability to involve young people with activities that can create meaningful moments of sharing and fun. This isn’t only on social and live, but also with initiatives continuing in September to tackle the back-to-school period.

Webboh Fest: three legs sold out
Webboh Fest, a music festival – unique in Italy in terms of format and audience success – designed to bring together young people with the most followed idols on social networks, was held on three legs from July to September (Giulianova, Rimini, Mirandola). It starred singers Rosa Chemical, Sarah Toscano, El Matador, Aka 7even, Serena Brancale, Emma Muscat, Vyperr, Pucho, Valerio Mazzei and many others. Also present were the latest, trendiest creators, including Lisa Luchetta, Alberto Tozzi, Alice and Giorgia Mordenti, Kingash, together with Acapodelglobo and Arienne Make-Up, both from the Power Talent Agency roster.

All events – with free admission – were hosted by producer and presenter Andrea Prada with the participation of Sara Esposito, a creator and YouTuber with millions of followers. At the DJ set was Matteo Robert, one of Italy’s most famous Gen Z creators, and DodoJ, one of Italy’s youngest DJs.
The DeAKids broadcasts (Sky Channel 601), with creators Lisa Luchetta and Alberto Tozzi, shared what went on behind the scenes at the different legs: this exclusive content has been made available on the channel’s social networks and will be aired in a special on DeAKids on 27 September where the best moments of the Webboh Backstage Secrets Summer Tour will be revisited.
Radio Bruno was also a Webboh Fest radio partner.

Webboh Camp: between summer experience and digital education
The Webboh Camp (20 to 27 July in the Tuscan Maremma), organised with Experience Summer Camp, Italy’s number one organiser of summer camps for young people aged 6 to 22, sold out in just one month. An unforgettable week in close contact with five creators (a total of 4 million followers on TikTok alone): Alberto Tozzi, Jenni Serpi, Sara Esposito, singer Luk3 and the face of Webboh, Claudia Mariani.
But the Camp was more than just fun. The kids enjoyed a digital education with Alessio Carciofi, one of Europe’s leading experts on digital well-being. Here too, reporting on the holiday was entrusted toDeAKids cameras.

Webboh Fun at AquaFan in Riccione
Just like last year, the four dates of Webboh Fun at Aquafan (11 July, 25 July, 8 August, 22 August, at the Walky Cup at Aquafan in Riccione) turned out to be a success. At each leg, in addition to the show on stage, spectators participated in exclusive meet and greets with guests (singers and creators) with whom they could take a photo. Among the talents involved were: Acapodelglobo, Rimoldigno, Lisa Luchetta, Matteo Robert, Alberto Tozzi, Pucho, Luk3 and Ascanio, Lorenz Simonetti.

Activities with brand partners
Webboh’s summer initiatives offered brand partners additional business opportunities with diversified branded content solutions. These include five smartphone covers – each suited to a different mood – created by the Webboh community in collaboration with La Casa de Las Carcasas. The covers, launched on 5 September, were presented on 6 September during the Mirandola leg of Webboh Fest, and are on sale online and in stores.

The first two Webboh Fest legs had Webboh coordinating and working in collaboration with Brand On Solutions, Mediamond’s project area, along with cosnova Italia with essence, a well-known cosmetics brand, with the essence Spring-Summer 2024 collection and the participation of acapodelglobo and Arienne Makeup from the Power Talent Agencyroster.

Back to school: the BE YOU Webboh diary and backpack and many other activities
After the summer events, Webboh is there for the very young as they start the new school year with numerous products and various initiatives.
The BE YOU Webboh Diary, produced in collaboration with BE YOU, now in its third edition, is so successful every year that it sold out in a few days in various stores and online shops. Created together with the community, it contains more than 100 stickers, over 40 special ‘against boredom’ pages for break times, the birthdays of the best-loved creators and a brand new ‘treasure hunt’. Launched in June, it’s distributed in shopping centres, bookstores, stationery stores, and online. In addition to the diary, this year’s BE YOU Webboh collection consists of an entire stationery line with apencil case, notebooks and – the big news for 2024–2025 – the BE YOU Webboh backpack.

Webboh and Astra Make-Up are working together again, after a successful project for the 2024 Webboh Awards, for the back-to-school period. The focus for this initiative is the Astra Skin line, dedicated to skincare and beauty routines, and the launch of two new products: a Face Make-up Remover Balm and a Face Gel Cream. The initiative includes a structured publishing plan on Webboh’s social channels, and also on the website, as well as the initiative for Arianna Madonna, the face of the community, and content creator Lisa Luchetta, already the winner of the Best Teen Idol – Female category at the 2024 Webboh Awards.

From 18 September, a new collaboration with Inter-studioviaggi (in coordination and collaboration with Brand On Solutions/Mediamond) will start on Webboh’s TikTok channel. The star of this initiative will be Anaïs Mariani, TikToker and Ambassador of Inter-studioviaggi, who will meet with Arianna Madonna, one of the faces of Webboh, to talk about her experience of Year Abroad. The opportunities offered by a school year abroad will be illustrated: a unique opportunity for an exceptional educational experience.

Webboh Lab, the first permanent observatory on Gen Z emerging from a meeting between Webboh and the Sylla research institute, has partnered with Farmitalia (with the support of Brand On Solutions/Mediamond) to conduct a survey via an online smart poll involving 500 young Italians aged between 14 and 17. The results provide a picture of the perceptions, knowledge and doubts of younger generations regarding sexuality and contraception in Italy.

Webboh is the flagship media for Gen Z. Created in April 2019, it has been part of Mondadori Media since February 2023. It currently has a fanbase of 4.5 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp, 70% of which are under 24. The website receives 3 million unique monthly users (source: Audiweb last quarter 2024). It is in the top ten most influential Italian media companies on social media, as well as the first targeting Gen Z for engagement and video views (source: Italian Top Media Rankings for First Communication made by Sensemakers). The topicality, authenticity and interest generated by the content is guaranteed by a bottom-up editorial model: the community is involved in every part of the creative process.
