Growth on hard numbers
An international studio of independent professionals
We grow brands with four services: Advertising, Growth & Finance, Website development and SEO and GEO. Every job is done by the person you talk to, with no agency in between.
Why a studio
We are not an agency. We are independent professionals who work together: you speak directly to whoever does the work.
BeforeWe worked together for years in the same agency, on clients from all over the world. In every agency we saw the same structure: layers, hand-offs and costs the client pays without seeing them.
NowSo we chose another way to work. More attention to the client, no useless agency costs, the same quality, and a direct line between you and the professional doing the work. No middlemen.
Services
Four services. One owner for each.
Each service is done by one person: the one you talk to every day. They do the work and they alone answer for it, from start to finish. If a project touches several services, the owners work together on the same plan.

Why choose us
Three reasons. Price comes after.
You talk to whoever works
No account manager, no hand-offs. Whoever presents the plan runs it, from the first call to the report.
Real numbers
Every job is judged by what it brings: sales from campaigns, leads from the site, buying traffic from SEO, better decisions from the accounts. Not by clicks and impressions.
The fee pays for the work
No offices, no structure to keep up. Every euro you pay goes to the professionals working on your project.
Case studies
One case for each service.
What changed for clients, in numbers. Each case was led from start to finish by the person who owns the service.
Advertising
Same spend, a different result.
A car dealer, €80,000 of media from January to August, the same budget in 2025 and 2026. We rebuilt the media plan and the tracking.

The new site sells twice as much.

of the fee goes to whoever works on your project
When you pay an agency 100 euros, only part of it pays for the work on your project. The rest pays for account managers and sales people, office rent and the agency's margin.
With us none of that exists. We work from Italy, Spain and Poland with no offices to pay for and no layers in between: all of your 100 euros go to the professionals doing the work.
- No office to pay for.
- No account manager between you and the work.
- No mark-up on your media.

The model
A studio, not an agency.
At an agency there are several people between you and whoever does the work. Not here: each of us worked for years in agencies, then went independent, and with Hardscale we work together under one name.
