QNY Creative

What QNY Creative does

QNY Creative is a New York-headquartered, privately held full-service creative and marketing agency operating under the legal entity QNY Creative Corp. Founded in 2010 by Ezio Burani, who serves as Founder, Creative Director, and CEO, the agency operates from offices in New York City (515 Madison Avenue) and Parma, Italy (Via Verona 12), serving clients across the United States, Canada, and Europe. With a team of 11-50 employees, QNY targets growth-stage consumer brands generating $5M-$500M in revenue, primarily in food and beverage/CPG, hospitality (boutique hotels, rooftop bars, food halls), and fashion/luxury/beauty verticals.

QNY delivers an integrated omnichannel service suite spanning brand strategy and creative development, packaging design, digital marketing and paid media (including SEM, display, CTV), social media marketing, influencer marketing, content production (photography, videography, TV commercials), website design and development, experiential and retail activations, and Retail Media Network (RMN) marketing across platforms such as Amazon, Walmart Connect, Instacart, Kroger Precision Marketing, Albertsons Media Collective, Criteo, Catalina, iBotta, and Fetch. The operational model connects brand strategy, creative execution, media buying, social, influencer, and retail commerce into a single accountable engagement, eliminating the siloes typical of multi-agency relationships. Notable clients include Max Mara, Dolce&Gabbana Beauty (with Sephora), Parmigiano Reggiano (with New York Jets), Pomì USA, Bauli, Castello/Arla Foods, Reese Specialty Foods, IHG (multiple properties including InterContinental Willard DC, InterContinental Wharf DC, Hotel Indigo LES, Hotel Indigo LA, Crowne Plaza HY36), Kraft Heinz (Polly-O), Kellogg's (Keebler), BeautyBio, Dr. Schär, TAO Group Hospitality, and Ferrari.

The agency generates revenue through professional services engagements — project-based, retainer, or campaign-based — with no disclosed pricing tiers, rate cards, or fee structures publicly available. QNY does not sell software products and operates no proprietary technology platform; its core differentiator is the integrated operating model itself, supported by a portfolio of 100+ industry awards across branding, digital, design, web, and marketing categories from bodies including GD USA, Hermes Creative Awards, dotComm, VEGA Awards, Muse Design Awards, A' Design Award, Creativity International, and Awwwards. The company is independently held by founders and/or management, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding rounds on record.

Direct peers

• Mother New York: Independent, founder-led creative agency in New York with a similar integrated model spanning advertising, brand strategy, digital, and content. Comparable headcount scale and client caliber make it one of the closest direct parallels to QNY's operating model.
• Anomaly: New York-based independent creative agency known for integrated brand strategy, advertising, and digital work. Comparable in size and ethos; both compete for the same mid-to-large consumer brand mandates that QNY targets.
• Chandelier Creative: Boutique New York creative agency with strong food, beverage, and hospitality focus. Directly comparable in vertical mix and boutique positioning to QNY, and competes for similar premium CPG and experiential mandates.
• Beardwood&Co: Independent New York creative agency focused on brand storytelling, content, and integrated campaigns. Comparable size and similar integrated offering spanning branding, digital, social, and experiential.
• Walrus: Independent creative agency offering brand strategy, creative development, digital, social, and media. Comparable boutique positioning and full-service integrated model targeting consumer brands.
• BrandOpus: Global brand strategy and packaging design agency with deep food and beverage expertise. Highly comparable to QNY's packaging and CPG brand development work, particularly for consumer brands seeking shelf-ready design.
• Pearlfisher: Independent brand design agency specializing in packaging, brand identity, and creative strategy for food, beverage, and lifestyle brands. Directly comparable to QNY's packaging-led brand work for premium CPG clients.

Broad incumbents

• Wieden+Kennedy: Large independent creative agency network with global offices and a full integrated offering. Operates in the same brand-building space but at a significantly larger scale than QNY, often competing for the largest mandates.
• Droga5 (part of Accenture Song): Major creative agency within Accenture Song offering brand strategy, advertising, and integrated marketing. Wider portfolio and deeper resources place it as a broad incumbent competing for enterprise brand assignments QNY also targets.

Emerging players

• Pentagram: Independent design firm specializing in brand identity, packaging, and graphic design across consumer, cultural, and luxury sectors. Comparable design-led craft orientation but with a narrower scope focused on identity rather than full omnichannel execution.
