PUNKT STUDIO

What PUNKT STUDIO does

PUNKT STUDIO (legal entity PUNKT Ltd., UIC 160072701) is a Plovdiv, Bulgaria-based creative design studio operating since circa 2006 with 11-50 employees. The firm delivers seven core services: branding (visual identity systems), editorial (book, magazine, catalogue design), custom type (including Cyrillic-capable bespoke typefaces, delivered in collaboration with FOMO Type), illustration (with five in-house illustrators), digital, motion graphics, and exhibition design. Work is delivered as project-based engagements using standard creative software and tools; there is no proprietary software platform, AI/ML pipeline, or SaaS product. The studio does not publicly disclose pricing, instead issuing project-specific quotes.

Commercially, PUNKT generates revenue exclusively through direct, project-based professional services engagements with no intermediaries, resellers, or digital storefronts. New business is sourced via the studio's portfolio website, organic social presence on Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook, direct outreach, and referrals. The client base spans 20+ sectors including art and culture (Modern Art Oxford, State Opera Plovdiv, Drama Theatre Plovdiv, Open Arts Foundation, Regional Ethnographic Museum), festivals and events (Opera Open, NDK New Year's Music Festival, BRAND THE CITY Festival 2026), non-profits and NGOs (Greenpeace Bulgaria, Fine Acts, UNDP), education (Teenovator, Teach For Bulgaria), hospitality (Villa Flavia, Kamenitza Pool & Gym), technology (Studio Zmei), corporate/automotive (Sevic Systems, KCM 2000 Holding), and government (Plovdiv Municipality, Ministry of Culture Bulgaria, Venice Biennale Bulgaria Pavilion). Engagement geographies include Bulgaria as the home market plus select projects in the UK, Germany, and Romania, though all operational staff sit at the Plovdiv headquarters. The studio is privately held, founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or subsidiary relationships.
