Maurizio Distefano Licensing celebrates a decade of success!
This year is a significant one for leading Italian licensing agency Maurizio Distefano Licensing. In 2024 it celebrates the tenth anniversary of its foundation – ten years of commitment, passion, innovative partnerships, strategic vision, and intuition on winning brands that have shaped a successful path taken since day one.
This commitment has resulted in solid and long-lasting relationships between the agency and its Italian and overseas partners making it, according to License Global magazine, the No. 1 agency in Italy, No. 2 in Europe, and No. 37 in the world.
To mark this special occasion, the agency's distinctive logo has had a small makeover: the addition of a fun celebratory balloon!
Maurizio Distefano, MDL President, states: "Looking to the future, we will definitely continue to innovate and grow, always maintaining a high level of service and professionalism. We are excited to explore new opportunities and continue to build successful partnerships that allow us to reach new milestones. With my CEO partner Michela Marchese Patti, we want to warmly thank our entire team for their commitment and dedication, as well as our licensors and licensees for their trust and support over these extraordinary ten years."
