We are back from our amazing experience at Milan Games Week 2024! One of the standout moments of the event, held from November 22nd to 24th, was the showcase on the main stage of the commercial ad we produced for Gran Pavesi, a major Italian food company, in collaboration with the Auge Communication agency. We also had the chance to explore the fair and visit the Gran Pavesi stands, which featured our key artworks and illustrations.
Moreover, it was also incredibly gratifying to see so many gamers enjoying the demo of On Your Tail, the game we are working on for Memorable Games, at the Indie Dungeon. This area, dedicated to independent developers, was made possible by the Italian game industry association IIDEA and hosted various talented emerging studios.
See you next year!

From 21st to 24th October, Maga Animation Studio participated in MIPCOM Cannes (France), held at the prestigious Palais des Festivals. Partnering with Lucia Vismara of Vismanimation, we engaged in dynamic networking, discussed exciting new projects with international animation industry leaders, and showcased Maga’s artistic and production capabilities.
MIPCOM is renowned as the premier global event for content rights and co-production, drawing top producers and studio executives from over 100 countries. In Cannes we leveraged this unparalleled platform to highlight our innovative work and forge valuable connections that will drive our future projects.
On October 3, the IED Career Fair in Milan was a fantastic chance for Maga Animation Studio to connect with both graduating and recently graduated students from the Istituto Europeo di Design. Our team, including Serena Tripepi (technical director) and Elisabetta Silva (lead animator), was there to meet the students.
At our booth, they introduced themselves, shared their CVs, and chatted about their career goals while showing off their portfolios.
This event was a great way for students to showcase their skills and for Maga to spot some amazing new talent in the animation field, discovering fresh, creative minds ready to start their professional journeys.
