Since 2002, RED VELVET has activated at every live SXSW. This festival isn’t just on our calendar, it’s in our DNA. Austin is our backyard, our basecamp. While our work now spans the globe, we return home each year sharper, bringing back best-in-class learnings and layering them into a proven methodology that evolves without ever losing its soul.

We’re a team of 20+, small but mighty, brainy and brawny. Hand-picked for both craft and culture, we’re tightly knit and relentlessly hands-on. You’ll feel it in the work and in the way we work with you.

we’ve grown up alongside SXSW,

and know how to break through the noise. We’re deeply attuned to how brands like Delta and Mercedes-Benz command attention, and we’ve created equally magnetic moments for scrappier, smaller activations that punch well above their weight. Different scales, same impact.

We partner closely with you and your stakeholders to bring your vision to life. We’re candid about what’s achievable, fearless about maximizing what’s possible, and fully committed to delivering unforgettable experiences for you and your guests.

This is our home turf. Let’s make waves. Together we’ll make a moment to remember.
