Master Publitalia's history

Master Publitalia was established in 1988 by Publitalia '80, a Mediaset Group company born as the advertising concessionaire for the group's television networks, with the goal of training new generations of marketing and communication professionals capable of operating from day one within the context of large enterprises and leading national and international brands. Placing the master's headquarters directly within Mediaset's studios in Cologno Monzese has been a distinctive feature of the program since its founding, giving students direct contact with the group's corporate and media environment.

Over more than thirty-five years of activity the master has built a solid network of collaborations with leading market companies across various sectors, from consumer goods to technology, from cosmetics to automotive, regularly involving them in designing real business cases entrusted to students as an integral part of the educational pathway. In more recent years the program has expanded its social dimension, joining mentorship initiatives promoted by the City of Milan and developing volunteer collaborations with non-profit organizations, confirming an evolution of the educational model toward greater attention to social responsibility.
