What D&P does

D&P SRL is an Italian communication design agency headquartered in Anzola dell'Emilia (Bologna), founded in 1995. The firm operates as a B2B professional services provider delivering corporate and brand identity design, graphic design, editorial production, photo-video productions, strategic consulting, website development, social media management, and event communication support to enterprises and institutions. The core technology is a creative services platform built around an in-house team of 31 employees supplemented by a network of qualified professionals and strategic partnerships that allow the firm to scale delivery across photography, video, editorial, and digital channels.

D&P generates revenue exclusively through project-based professional services engagements; no subscription, SaaS, licensing, or volume-based pricing is disclosed. Pricing is negotiated on a project-by-project basis with no publicly available rate cards. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on direct client engagement, a portfolio website, and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Vimeo) for top-of-funnel awareness, with mid-funnel conversion driven by case studies and past-project references.

The firm's client base spans more than 20 named enterprise and institutional accounts across diverse Italian industries, including facility management (Rekeep, Dugoni, Copura), cooperative associations (Legacoop Produzione e Servizi, Consorzio Nazionale Servizi), healthcare services (Servizi Ospedalieri), utilities (Hera), manufacturing (Grandi Molini Italiani, ISB), jewelry/luxury (Buccellati), fashion (9.2 by Carlo Chionna), government (Regione Emilia Romagna), higher education (Johns Hopkins University SAIS Europe), and nonprofit organizations (Telethon, Fondazione Scuola Nazionale Servizi). The company also serves as a production subcontractor to lead advertising agencies (Onde Comunicazione, Nouvelle) on larger campaigns. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
