What The Expo Studio does

The Expo Studio is a multidisciplinary design and production studio headquartered in Istanbul, Türkiye, that provides end-to-end solutions for exhibitions, brand events, and physical brand spaces. Founded in 2024 (with operational heritage carried over from parent group Marcom Group, which claims 15 years of experience), the company serves global brands, corporations, and event marketing teams seeking premium exhibition stand design and build, event production, creative concept development, architecture and interior design, retail and commercial space design, logistics coordination, and on-site brand experience services. Its core service offering spans eight integrated categories delivered through a seven-step process from discovery and conceptualization through post-event support.

The company's technology stack centers on 3D design and visualization tools, architectural design software, and rendering platforms used to produce detailed 3D models, visual renders, layout plans, and graphic applications for brand experiences. It operates an owned production facility in Kagithane, Istanbul, for exhibition stand fabrication, supplemented by Marcom Group's network of local producers and international vendors. Geographic delivery spans Turkey, Europe, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, supported by a global partner network.

The Expo Studio operates on a custom project-based pricing model with no standardized tiers; each engagement is quoted individually based on scope, complexity, materials, logistics, and geography. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales with consultative direct engagement, supplemented by an event-driven presence at trade shows and digital channels including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Behance, and a multilingual blog. The company is privately held as a subsidiary of Marcom Group Ltd and is led by founder Recep Asar. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, suggesting most execution is delivered via partner networks rather than in-house staff.
