ADR Studio marks 30 years of innovation with global recognition and new philosophy

Dubai-based ADR Studio, founded in 1995 by Italian designer Dr Antonio De Rosa, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year with international awards and the launch of its new identity: “We as a Service.”

Over three decades, the agency has grown from a boutique design practice into a global consultancy, serving clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In 2025, ADR Studio earned multiple accolades, including:

• Excellence Agency Award at the Prime Awards Dubai
• Best Global Strategic Creative Agency 2025 at the APAC Business Awards
• Excellent Communication Design at the German Design Awards 2026

“These recognitions are not only about creativity,” says De Rosa. “They are a testament to endurance, innovation, and the human spirit behind design.”

The new “We as a Service” philosophy positions creativity as a collaborative process that integrates people, technology, and purpose, emphasizing sustainable and ethical growth in the age of AI.

The milestone coincides with De Rosa receiving his Professional Doctorate in Brand Innovation & Design Strategy from the European International University of Paris.

Looking ahead, ADR Studio plans to expand its presence in the UAE, Asia, and Europe in 2026, focusing on strategic consultancy, creative R&D, and AI-driven branding solutions. De Rosa adds, “We don’t just want to be the best creative agency; we want to redefine what creativity means in a world that’s finally learning to slow down and think with purpose.”
