What Burro Studio does

Burro Studio is an independent creative agency headquartered in Milan, Italy, founded in 2015 and legally organized as Burro Studio S.R.L. (sole shareholder, €10,000 fully paid share capital, registered in Verona). The firm delivers integrated creative services across seven core practice areas: Branding & Communication, Events & Special Activations, Production, 3D & Motion Design, Artificial Intelligence, Social & Digital, and Merchandising & Product Design. It serves a roster of large global enterprise brands spanning apparel/footwear (Nike, Adidas, The North Face, Levi's, Vans, Timberland, Under Armour, Dr. Martens, Kappa, K-Way, Eastpak), fashion/luxury (Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Furla, Golden Goose, Moschino, Tommy Hilfiger, Ray-Ban, Sergio Rossi, MSGM, Aspesi), eyewear/luggage (Swatch, Rimowa, Fielmann), beverage (Red Bull, Heineken, Peroni), entertainment (Warner Brothers, Mubi), and retail/hospitality (Foot Locker, Virgin Active, Aethos, ITA Airways, Signorvino), among others.

Beyond client services, Burro Studio operates a self-described "ecosystem" of six independent projects that extend its cultural footprint: Burro Studio Kids (creative education), BSR (digital music label), Fondazione Burro Studio (cultural/social impact foundation), Burro Studio Store (branded merchandising), MOGO (a Hi-Fi Restaurant joint venture with Polifonic), and Rosadira Festival (boutique music festival in the Dolomites). The business model is project-based professional services — a sales-led motion driven by portfolio reputation, Instagram presence, and direct client inquiry, with no public pricing and no disclosed revenue. Technical capability centers on cross-media production integrating digital and physical execution, motion/3D craft, and stated exploration of generative AI within creative workflows. Leadership comprises co-founders Giovanni Manzini and Federica Caserio.
