About us
BRC Imagination Arts is a full-service, strategic design and production company that translates brand and cultural stories into transformative, human experiences. For 40 years, we’ve stood on the front lines, helping our clients build more meaningful, enduring relationships with audiences around the globe. Our unique body of work has earned us over 400 awards for some of the most respected and acclaimed brand and cultural destinations in the world, including the Jameson Distillery Bow St., World of Coca-Cola, The Heineken Experience, Guinness Storehouse, The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, The Henry Ford, The Museum of Liverpool, and many others. BRC started in a garage. Our founder, eager to make his mark in the experiential business, broke out on his own in 1981. The company’s first project? A story-driven experience for the soon-to-be-opened Epcot Center at Disney World and a series of experiences for General Motors’ ‘World of Motion’. The work was entertaining, engaging, authentic to the brand story, and ultimately loved by millions of guests from around the world. That’s our heritage. While we’re proud of our history, our primary focus is on what’s next: how we can combine our business intelligence and operational expertise with our innovative creative process to tell the next great story, one that takes millions of people on an unforgettable emotional journey.

Between the talks and panels, workshops, candid conversations, and moments of connection—we left the three-day event chock full of insights, dreaming of what's next in the world of experience design. BRC's VP of Creative & Story, Brad Shelton, Creative Producer, Kat Reinbold, and Director of Strategy, Maya Guice, presented a Story-Doing Workshop, teaching participants the linear and non-linear storytelling techniques that BRC uses to drop consumers directly into the story. We feel fortunate to be a part of what is a beautiful and growing experience community 🙌 We're already looking forward to next year's event! #WXO #experiencedesign #brandexperience #storytelling

"Competition is steep, attention is scarce, and if you don’t capture your audience’s attention the first time you have it, you may never have the opportunity again." Peak experiences challenge our worldview and have the power to transport and transform us.

Jones, Nathaly K., and BRC's very own Christian Lachel. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4esW19C #experiencedesign #attractions #brandexperience
