How to choose the right design agency

When evaluating Italian design agencies, consider:

Portfolio and sector experience – Review published work to assess design quality, conceptual thinking, and experience in your category (luxury, food and beverage, fashion, cultural).

Agency scale and structure – Match agency size to project needs. Independent studios offer hands-on craft and creative direction; agencies with multiple offices provide capacity and international coordination.

Cultural and aesthetic sensibility – Italian agencies often bring strong design heritage and visual sophistication. Assess whether their aesthetic approach aligns with your brand positioning.

Client relationships and collaboration – Understand how the agency structures client engagement, iteration processes, and whether founding partners or senior leadership remain involved throughout delivery.

Language and location – Most Italian agencies work in Italian and English. Clarify communication preferences, particularly for international rollouts or multi-market brand systems.
