The Blink Fish

What The Blink Fish does

The Blink Fish is an independent, founder-owned creative production and post-production studio founded in 2014 and headquartered in Milan, Italy. It operates as a B2B professional services company delivering end-to-end visual content — from creative concepting through production and post-production — for enterprise brand clients across fashion and luxury (MAX&Co., Pierre-Louis Mascia, TOD's, Borsalino, Rahul Mishra, Brunello Cucinelli, Roberto Cavalli, Dessiner), food and beverage (KFC, Barilla, Fanta, Franciacorta, Al Hatab, Starbucks, Chilly), automotive and energy (Ferrari x Shell), sportswear and footwear (Adidas x AMG, Crocs, Footlocker), eyewear (Luxottica/Kodak Lenses), telecommunications (Iliad), transport (Trenord), finance (Banca Investis), personal care (Rexona, Autan), kitchen appliances (Kenwood, Franke), and advertising/technology (The Trade Desk, TeamSystem, Engine). Core offerings span commercials, fashion films, branded content, documentaries, long-form films, music videos, and AI-themed campaigns, with in-house capabilities in 3D animation, VFX, color grading, compositing, motion graphics, and virtual production (LED volumes, green screen).

The revenue model is professional services-based, with project fees quoted per engagement; pricing is not publicly disclosed. A minor direct-to-consumer merchandise line (Blinkitude Serie apparel, €25–€30 per item) is sold via the company's own website. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales, with no resellers or marketplace channels; top-of-funnel demand is generated through portfolio-driven content on Instagram, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Spotify, and an email newsletter, plus recurring participation at industry events such as Conero Film+ADV 2025 and CICLOPE Festival Berlin. The company employs 11–50 people, is led by co-founders Matteo Grimaldi (Post Supervisor) and Giacomo Boeri (Director), with senior leadership including Chief Creative Officer Alessandro Brunetti and Partner/Executive Producer Lorenzo Majno. No proprietary technology, patents, external venture or private equity funding, acquisitions, or M&A activity are disclosed; growth is organic and founder-led.
