about

We’re Sonja and Tina Barbarić – sisters and founders of Studio Altro, a boutique digital marketing and PR studio that blends content, strategy, and design for the digital world.

What sets our approach to digital marketing apart is the unusual blend of our backgrounds: journalism, public relations, digital marketing, and the visual arts. Since launching Studio Altro in 2021, we’ve helped companies, brands, and institutions communicate with clarity, purpose, and visual strength – consistently delivering work our clients come back for.

We’re especially proud of the feedback we receive. Clients describe working with us as “an absolute pleasure”, tell us they “can’t wait to work together again”, and highlight the value of our seamless, all-in-one service that has contributed to their overall business efficiency.

Before founding Altro, we built our experience across major regional media outlets, cultural institutions, and creative industries, and have worked with clients in sectors as diverse as law, IT, transport, pharma, and finance. Every project we take on is shaped by this shared expertise: where journalism meets PR, and marketing meets design.

By combining these perspectives, we’re able to create thoughtful, tailored solutions that reflect our client’s goals and resonate deeply with the people they want to reach.
