What Brain Pull does

Brain Pull Soc. Coop. is an Italian marketing and digital communication agency headquartered in Conversano (Bari), with additional offices in Milan and Austin, Texas, and a 2012 vintage that places it among the more established boutique shops in the Puglia region. The company delivers an integrated stack of services spanning marketing consulting, social media management, paid advertising across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok and Spotify, SEO, DEM and newsletter marketing, loyalty programs, and direct marketing automation. Creative and production capabilities cover photo, video, graphic design and copywriting, while technology services include web development, Shopify e-commerce (as an official Shopify partner since 2021), Salesforce consulting across Sales/Service/Marketing Cloud, Pardot and Agentforce, and React Native mobile app development.

The agency's client roster is predominantly enterprise Italian and international brands — Pescaria, Piquadro, Roboze, The Bridge, Autogrill, Cigierre, Comix and Salumificio Santoro — supplemented by SMB engagements such as Aua. Brainpull publicizes case-study performance figures including +80% Facebook revenue for Pescaria, +130% YoY revenue in two weeks for Aua, +15 million impressions for Piquadro, and 3.8 million users reached for Comix, which the agency uses as social proof in enterprise pitches.

Commercially, Brainpull operates a project-based and retainer professional services model on multi-year contracts with quote-based, non-public pricing. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with portfolio and case-study-driven outreach. The cooperative (Soc. Coop.) structure implies member ownership by founders and employees rather than external shareholders; no funding rounds, parent companies, or M&A transactions are disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001 (AENOR and TUV 9001:2015) and ISO 27001:2022 (KIWA) certifications, supports its accounts via listed partnerships with Facebook/Meta, Google, Salesforce, Shopify, LinkedIn and TikTok, and employs between 11 and 50 people.
