Who We Are

At Empire, we believe human connection drives progress. For more than three decades, we have designed and produced immersive experiences that bring people together to share ideas, promote innovation, catalyze movements, celebrate milestones and shape culture.

Headquartered in New York City, Los Angeles and Tokyo, Empire is a full-service experiential and event production agency that has produced in over 100 countries. We partner with corporations, governments, not-for-profits, brands and creators to craft gatherings that are purposeful, memorable, and transformative.

What We Do

Our team blends strategic insight with imaginative design and precision execution across a spectrum of formats, including live events, broadcasts, corporate meetings, galas, launches, celebrations, festivals, expos and more. Our multidisciplinary team of producers, designers, strategists and technical experts orchestrates every detail, from concept to creative through logistics and on-site production, ensuring every project delivers measurable impact for our clients.

How We Work

We begin with purpose — the objective, the audience, and the insights. From there, we craft narratives, design environments, and orchestrate live moments that place the guest experience at the center of every decision. Through detailed renderings, rigorous run-of-show development, and precise cueing, we align early and often, we plan with discipline and remain adaptable to the realities of live production.

Our Reach

Across six continents and thousands of productions, Empire has delivered projects both intimate and expansive, creating global media moments that have generated billions of impressions.

Our Belief

We believe that the world advances when people gather at scale and with purpose. But delivering connection at scale requires strategy, creativity, and precision execution. Today’s state-of-the-art events demand an understanding of human behavior, experiential design, immersive storytelling, logistical expertise, and wide-ranging creative capabilities — all informed by an understanding of today’s zeitgeist and with an eye toward what's new and next.

We fuse these arts and sciences of creative event production to achieve big results and push what’s possible.
