What Redpoint does

Red Point S.r.l., trading as Redpoint, is a Milan-based integrated communication agency founded in 2009 as a spin-off from Bowne International, a leader in capital market services. The firm operates from a single headquarters at Via Tommaso Salvini 3 in central Milan and serves Italian corporate clients across four service pillars: Strategy, Creativity, Sustainability, and Service. Its offerings span content and copywriting (multilingual in Italian, English, and Mandarin), art direction and graphic design, typesetting, marketing and new business development, accessibility communication (WCAG compliance), and ESG/sustainability reporting advisory covering frameworks such as CSRD and GRI. The agency also operates Red Factory, a sub-brand initiative linking business clients with theater and cultural-sector professionals.

The firm is organized around a team of approximately 17-18 professionals under CEO Edoardo Berardi and Partner Antonella Girardi, with a dedicated Head of Content & Strategy, two Art Directors, senior and junior graphic designers, typesetters, project management, and accounting staff.
