About — Studio Paname

We are a Studio

A studio is a workplace where magic happens.
A meeting place where creatives, strategists, designers, writers, artists convene.
A factory where things are built.
A hub of emerging talents.

From the initial studiolo to the Renaissance’s Bottega, from the studios of Paul Cezanne or Georgia O’Keeffe to the atelier of Edouard Manet, from Warhol’s Factory to Murakami’s 24-hour operation rooted in five cities and with 200 employees, the studio has always been central to the fabric of culture, a communal place where concepts emerge, ideas materialize, movies are made, music is created and campaigns orchestrated.

We are studio paname.

A team of creatives, strategists, producers, writers, designers, photographers & videographers, who have first and foremost enjoyed working together for years, and still do. More of a cooperative really.

In a long tradition of European and American cooperatives, we believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.

We have worked with the most innovative and meaningful brands, cultural institutions and destinations in the world.

Some get the Runner’s high, we do get the Creative’s high, that intense feeling of euphoria when we finally solve a complex challenge, and when we navigate, decode and translate culture to derive relevant strategies for our clients.
