Interest in e-learning has been growing steadily for some time now, due to the considerable advantages this type of training imparts. Particularly, in the present paper elearning is analyzed from a marketing perspective. Specifically, the case of iGuzzini illuminazione, a Marche-based company which produces light fixtures, is studied. Following a communication strategy focused on ‘teaching’, in the sense that the communication activities tend to be centered around educational themes of interest for the recipients, this company has developed an e-learning platform in order to develop the marketing communication activities, also the relationships with customers and market influencers.
