What’s in a name?
The Tenedini sisters’ last name is often hilariously butchered, but it inspired the deliciously-named Tortellini Marketing. Also, we love cheesy pasta, saucy puns, and serving up high-quality marketing services with a smile.
You might have noticed the 🤌 in our logo too. When Italian chefs cook delicious meals, they’re often rewarded with an approving 🤌 hand gesture (aka mano a borsa.) The hand gesture also means “what do you want/need?” and that’s exactly what we ask all of our clients.
