BRC Imagination Arts

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.
