What Attila E Co does

Attila&Co. is an independent communication and PR agency headquartered in Milan, Italy, founded in 1980 as the first integrated communications agency in Italy. The firm operates with roughly 100 professionals split between Milan and Shanghai, delivering services across Media Relations, Influencer Marketing & Digital PR, Social Media, Event Production, and Creative. It serves more than 60 international clients in fashion, beauty, design, lifestyle, sport, hospitality, and food & beverage, with a stated positioning as a strategic communication partner for premium and lifestyle brands seeking integrated cross-channel campaigns.

The agency's core offering is a 360-degree communications platform that combines earned media, paid media, influencer engagement, event production, and in-house creative services. Its Creative division handles concept, art direction, and copywriting, and the firm has begun incorporating generative AI into branded content production. Distribution is direct B2B enterprise sales, with no published pricing — engagements are quote-based and structured as project work or retainers. The Milan headquarters sits in an early 20th-century building near Parco Sempione, and the Shanghai office is a villa redesigned by Italian architect Aldo Cibic, reinforcing the firm's Italian-design positioning in Asia.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through agency fees on integrated campaigns with enterprise clients, with Milan serving as the European hub and Shanghai as the regional hub for Asia. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed acquisitions or restructuring. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on headcount and premium positioning, it operates at the scale of a mid-sized European boutique agency.
