Ciao! I’m Danilo.
I have been obsessed with how the internet communicates for as long as I can remember.
It started as a teenager, editing my own videos for YouTube. Not because anyone asked me to, but because I wanted to understand how it worked. How do you hold someone’s attention? What makes a person feel something in thirty seconds? I spent hours studying setups, cameras, lighting, editing rhythms. Then I started noticing the brands.
I became fascinated by the strategy behind what companies were posting online. Why were some brands impossible to scroll past? Why did certain content feel like a real person and other content feel like a press release? I wanted to know how that gap was built, and eventually how to close it.
That curiosity took me from YouTube, to London, to VaynerMedia, where I spent two and a half years creating short-form content for global brands like Visa, Indeed, MBNA, NatWest, Tubi, and Stokke. Now I am based in Italy, working remotely with brands across Europe, doing the same thing I have always done. Figuring out what makes people stop, watch, and act.
WHAT I ACTUALLY DO
I work at the intersection of creative strategy and production. I can write the brief, direct the shoot, be on camera, edit the final asset, and tell you why it did or did not work. Most of my clients are brands that want to move fast and make content that earns attention rather than paying for all of it.
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR NOW
I am currently open to full-time creative roles and freelance projects. I work 100% remotely and am based in Italy, available across EMEA time zones. If you are building something and need someone who can think strategically and make the content, I would love to hear about it.
