Experiential Talent General Application

2027 Season Experiential Talent Call

Ten markets. Roles across creative production, design, and fabrication. We're building the 2027 roster now.

Read This First These Are Not Marketing Roles

We build things. The work in this call is physical: festival environments, scenic, activations, hospitality and premium builds, stage and site design, signage and environmental graphics designed, drawn, engineered, fabricated, trucked, and installed outdoors on a date that cannot move. It is closer to construction and themed entertainment than it is to advertising.

We do produce marketing and sponsorship deliverables as part of the work. But this is not the marketing department, and these are not brand strategy, campaign, social, digital, performance, or agency account roles. If your work has been drawn, built, installed, rained on, and struck at 3 a.m. keep reading.

Who We Are

At Danny Wimmer Presents, we don't just put on festivalswe create unforgettable experiences where music, fans, and brands come together in epic ways! We are currently looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment, can meet urgent deadlines, and shines under pressure. Passion for music is essential, as we offer long-term growth opportunities for individuals willing to learn from the ground up.

Why We're Doing It This Way

Our show volume is growing fast and the experiential side of our business is scaling with it. Rather than post two dozen roles one at a time over the next six months, we're running a single open talent search. We want to meet the whole field at once, then match people to the right scope, market, and timeline. So tell us what you do and when you're free. We'll come to you as roles lock.
