The problem I solve

Good companies are rarely short on activity. They’re short on clarity, visibility and a story the market remembers. I connect the strategy, channels and creative into one growth system.

Selected work

Strategy with evidence.

From technical B2B products to international cultural experiences, I build the position and the engine behind growth.

02 / Destination brand

Calabria became the experience—and the story travelled.

Creative and marketing direction for Calabria Food Fest, bringing 43 international creators from 20+ countries into one carefully designed cultural narrative.

03 / B2B visibility

Building authority for the answer-engine era.

A connected SEO, GEO, PR and evidence strategy designed to make technical brands understandable, trustworthy and retrievable.

About Anthony

International perspective.
Southern instinct.

I grew up in Calabria, built my career over 15 years in Toronto, and returned to Southern Italy with a different way of seeing both worlds.

That tension shapes my work: analytical but human, global but grounded, commercially rigorous without sanding away the emotion that makes people care.

I’ve led growth across technology, consumer platforms, tourism and culture. Today I advise founders and teams who need a senior marketing brain without the full-time CMO overhead.
