HERZOGENAURACH, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sports company PUMA will open the PUMA Studio in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles in early 2025, a creative space that brings its design and marketing teams closer to the most influential communities and celebrities to inspire products and campaigns for the strategically important US market.

The decision to open a creative space in LA is part of PUMA’s strategic priority to win in the United States.
