For selected game studios
Your team develops complex, internationally recognized titles over several years. That recognition should not end at launch.
DONUM is a curated multisensory gesture for game studios – designed to carry the appreciation of your studio beyond project completion and into your team's daily lives.
A lasting reminder of shared success – a gesture derived from the relationship within your studio, created for no other house.
The Context
Conventional gestures lose their impact when your team has seen everything.
In game development, loyalty is rarely strengthened by more studio merch. What matters is relevance, discretion and the sense that the relationship continues beyond launch.
A meaningful gesture creates presence, not noise – carrying your studio culture beyond the release.
Designed for
Designed for studios where every project carries a promise – and every team member matters.
- Studio Directors & Managing Directors
- Head of People & Head of Culture
- Chief Operating Officers & Creative Directors
- Project completions, recognition of long-tenured key contributors and team culture programmes
What DONUM is
Not merch. A curated gesture from your studio – designed as a ritual.
At its sensory core is ARGANERO: a precise culinary finishing ritual, brought to life through a refined object, a story of origin and a considered moment of handover. It is conceived not as a one-time release gift, but as an experience that can renew the memory of shared success with every use.
Each edition brings together a tangible object, refined presentation, a story of origin, a sensory ritual and a thoughtfully designed handover – tailored to the character of your studio where appropriate.
Impact beyond the release
A gesture designed to return
Most release gifts create a single moment. DONUM is designed to create many.
- A tangible object that remains in your team member's home.
- A sensory ritual that reconnects team members with the memory of shared success.
- Repeated moments of use that keep the value of the relationship present long after the release.
The goal is not attention. The goal is presence – a quiet, recurring moment that brings the memory of shared success back into your team's daily lives.
Use cases
