Studio 1 is inaugurated, a 4,200 SF space in Long Island City, featuring an entire cyc wall and multiple shooting bays. With southeast daylight exposure and hardwood floors, it's a space filled with light and well equipped for advertising and editorial productions in New York.

We'll join the Carbon Neutral Initiative to work towards a climate neutral world by 2050, as enshrined in the Paris Agreement. We're actively working on making all our processes more sustainable, and becoming carbon neutral through CO2 compensation is a fundamental step for us.

This innovation provides greater flexibility for varying budgets, reduces production complexity, and shortens turnaround times.

Establish satellite hubs in key cities such as Milan, Rome, Barcelona, and Lisbon, strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for high-quality content while providing access to untapped creative talent across Europe.
