American mindset. Italian norms. Worldly perspective.
Our roots are in Puglia. We grew up in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. We shipped up to Boston for school and worked in the New York City market, where apparently nobody sleeps. Now we’re in Tuscany, too.
We like to sit down with the people we work with and get into what’s really going on. We’ll ask the really awkward questions, tell you what we think, and give you a clear idea of what we’d do next. And we’ll probably order too many olives. And snacks.
We enjoy being marketing partners. We’re good at helping people see their business differently and turning that perspective into good work. It has to be the right fit for us, too. We look for people who want to work alongside us, bring their own point of view and trust the process.
Well, we love the fruit. Like us, it’s sharp, it’s sweet, and it’s good for you. It has a place in America and here in Italy. So do we.
