3ZERO2, in Cologno Monzese (MI), was established in 2002 as a production company for Disney and other customers. Entered in 2010 in Euromedia Group, it presents itself as a "producer for media partners, publishers and television brands interested in creating and distributing TV programs or videos to any device". The company is characterized by that mix of technological expertise and creative talent which is somehow unique on the Italian broadcast market.
3ZERO2 is part of Euromedia Group, an international company with over 1,300 technicians and employees, with more than 40 companies and seven locations in Europe. The Group is present in France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, England and Italy and holds the "World Technology Awards for Excellence" for the Tour de France. The Group adheres to AIMS - Alliance for IP Media Solutions.
Attilio Grilloni, since last March Managing Director of 3ZERO2, backed by over twenty years experience as a writer for TV and a management career in Zodiak Active, where he was CEO from 2014 to 2016 says: "Since 2002, the year of its foundation by Piero Crispino and Mario Rasin, 3ZERO2 has grown; this year turnover will be around 30 million Euros, divided equally into two business areas: contents and technologies."
"Taking care of all aspects of production, from the feasibility study to the creative and execution, 3ZERO2 has all the resources necessary to realize tv and video projects."
Luciano Consigli, Technical Operations Manager, adds: "I do not think there is another reality in the Italian landscape that can offer a complete range of services like ours and has a so broad range, ranging from the design of contents, high-level production, multi-platform distribution."
The headquarters of 3ZERO2 include a production center with three studios (250, 380 and 420 m2) equipped to handle live or time-shifted programs, three audio post-production suites, video post-production suites and graphics (9 Avid suites, 25 suites with Premiere, 6 Graphic Suites including Adobe Creative Cloud, Cinema 4D and 3Dstudio Max) and a playout center for broadcast of more than 30 DTT and satellite channels, able to follow the scheduling activities, library, digital archive, Traffic and Quality Control.
"We have fiber connections to and from Mediaset, Sky, Persidera and Infront", adds Consigli explaining that "the secret" of the success of such a complex task is the creation of an economy scale.
"We started by following one channel while today we are following more than thirty, with a team of people who, numerically, has almost unchanged. The success of recent years has been to aggregate companies that need services from a multifunctional perspective; we have a reduced margin per channel, however, we increased the number of channels for which we operate. The competence and the availability of the technical team did the rest: Our team is present 24 hours a day, 7 days out of 7 and can provide television-customer a high level of service; broadcaster should devote ad hoc resources, with associated costs, if you would follow the whole process of production and emission of the channel: turning to us, however, they are assured a competent service at an affordable cost."
Among the clients who use the playout services of 3ZERO2 there are Disney, RCS Mediagroup, Feltrinelli, Discovery-Eurosport, Juventus Channel, Channel Italy Bike, Bike Channel UK, Milan TV, Torino Channel and Scripps Network (present in Italy with Fine Living and channel 33).
3ZERO2 also has a park of mobile vehicles to follow the production of different events, mostly sports and alike.
