Twentyfour Seven launch new offices in Brazil, Italy, Turkey and Uruguay
This expansion reflects the group’s continued growth, while remaining proudly independent and partner-owned, staying true to its DNA.

Twentyfour Seven, the pioneering global service production company that executes some of the industry’s most compelling, award-winning creative work, has expanded once again to four additional countries to strengthen its 360-degree network: Italy, Brazil, Turkey, and Uruguay.
Having spent over two decades honing a reputation for producing bespoke, culture-setting campaigns for major brands that lead the marketing charge, including Apple, Amazon, Hornbach, Adidas, and more, the expansion marks a new chapter in a story of organic, people-first growth. The 2024-stealing Apple Flock campaign wowed advertisers and consumers alike for its absurd, yet dystopian depiction of invading one’s privacy with flocks of seagull-like security cameras. The campaign earned most of the industry’s top advertising honours, including: Ciclope Grand Prix, Ad Age’s Creativity Awards’ Craft of the Year award in Film; the top Advertising Excellence award at the AICP Awards; an ADC Gold Cube for Direction; a Webby and People’s Voice Award for Best Direction, helmed by Ivan Zachariáš; a 2025 Primetime Emmy Award nomination; and three Cannes Lions awards in Film and Film Craft categories.
A founder-led company run by its 12 original leaders, Twentyfour Seven builds out its international offerings with additional collaborators it already knows and trusts: producers whose reputations, creativity, and cultural fluency turn new offices into living, breathing extensions of the network. Each new office is led by seasoned producers who bring their own creative DNA, while furthering their belief that world-class production services are born from authentic connections. This model extends access to thorough local production expertise for brands, plus seamless comparative options across the group’s entire independent, centralised network. Whether Milan or Montevideo, Istanbul or São Paulo, this momentum weaves together talent and ideas across cultures to give insight to production that feels both global and personal to each region.
“We don’t expand for the sake of scale,” said Ivo van Vollenhoven, CEO of Twentyfour Seven Group. “We expanded when we found the right people; unique and compelling creative voices who embody our independent spirit and our way of working. All of our offices, old and new, are collaborative and fearless, and they always have an eye on long-term relationships, staying true to who we are.”
The Italy office is led by Managing Director Valentina Barbazza, a long-time collaborator with nearly two decades of experience producing campaigns for prominent clients such as IKEA, Coca-Cola, and Lamborghini. “Milan sits at the crossroads of design, architecture, and style, giving brands a distinctive creative edge when producing campaigns here,” says Barbazza. “This environment naturally nurtures innovation and storytelling that stand out on the global stage.”
In Brazil, Executive Producer + Partner Cristian Marini, Executive Producer Sebastian Marini and Managing Director + Partner Zahra Staub of Ocean join as global partners, keeping their brand identity and legacy. With offices in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and over 25 years of experience, Ocean is recognised for its creative strength, bilingual crews, and privileged access to Brazil’s diverse film locations. Notes Marini, “Within this partnership, and alongside Twentyfour Seven’s similar global reach and acclaim, Ocean will utilise its longstanding connections with star international directors, pairing them with our amazing production company clients as a trusted liaison.” Their integration strengthens Twentyfour Seven’s Latin American constellation across the Dominican Republic, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, turning the region into one of the network’s most dynamic production corridors.
In Turkey, Twentyfour Seven partners with Managing Director + Partner Ender Sevim and Executive Producer Merve Yalçınkaya of DEPOfilm, one of Istanbul’s most respected production entrepreneurs. Known for campaigns with Turkish Airlines, Dyson, and Allianz, DEPOfilm brings international-standard crews, cost efficiency, and access to landscapes ranging from Cappadocia’s dreamscapes to the cosmopolitan energy of Istanbul. “I always say, ‘good people meet good people,’ and Twentyfour Seven are good people,” says Ender. “As a global company, we always seek to partner with the best-fitting global partners, and Twentyfour Seven is one of the best players in the market.”
In Uruguay, Producers Luli Molla (who produced Apple Flock) and Daniel Álvarez formally joined the group after years of close collaboration. Says Álvarez, “The industry is ready to utilise Uruguay’s breathing room and flexibility, which can expand when needed. We will plug right into Twentyfour Seven’s global network of talent and craftspeople.”
Every office is rooted in local expertise, but connected globally by a shared commitment to bold creativity, sustainable practices, and long-term trust. The expanded worldwide reach will only enforce Twentyfour Seven’s hard-won reputation for delivering brand-bespoke, consumer-resonant content for the 21st century.
