About
It gives us great joy to share our enthusiasm for impactful visual communication with our clients and help their brands discover an incomparable point of difference.
We bring clarity from complexity - through mindfulness and diligent work, infusing branding, marketing and communication projects with compelling design and creativity.
We’re about hard work. We embrace the client challenge and see setbacks as a means to find an even better solution.
Finding the right balance between aesthetics and emotional appeal while staying true to the brand’s values is what we thrive on. By digging deep and genuinely understanding the audience, we can create visual branding that captivates and builds an authentic rapport.
Our holistic approach helps our clients encapsulate their brand's values, promises, and identity into every aspect of the business, resulting in a consistent and lasting impression on customers and stakeholders.
As a boutique agency, we work with organisations and businesses that positively impact people and the planet; ethics, sustainability, well-being, and cultural enrichment are in our DNA.
I’m Marco Cicchianni, Creative Director and co-founder.
My career spans 30+ years as a branding designer, art director, film director and creative director. My strong desire to expand my knowledge and experience defines my creative process. I’ve been acknowledged and awarded by industry and peers. Still, I’m most proud of winning an award for a climate change campaign, a design award for a lifestyle brand and gaining official selection at Berlin Commercial.
