The creative agency that shoots.
Brand, films, social content and live experiences.
Meister & Friends is a creative agency and video production company based in Lugano, in the Swiss canton of Ticino. We bring international advertising experience to branding, brand films and corporate videos, social content and live experiences, for companies in Switzerland, Italy and the Gulf. We look at a brand as a whole: how it defines itself and how it shows up, from its identity to every film, post and event. That lets us step in at any scale, from a full rebrand to a single video.
We work senior and lean. The idea and the creative direction come first; then we build the right team around the work, through production and delivery. Big-agency thinking, without the big-agency overhead. Where it makes the work better, we use generative AI as a production tool.
The studio is led by Dirk Meister, creative director and director with over 22 years in advertising, documentaries, television and large events, and Nada Yammine, executive producer and drone operator with over 10 years in television and events. Past work includes campaigns for Porsche, Zegna and Netflix, and programmes for Discovery Channel and Al Jazeera.
We work in Italian, German, English, French and Arabic.
