Experiential marketing agency specializing in large-scale drone light shows
RedPeg Marketing is a 28-year-old experiential marketing agency now heavily invested in drone light show production. The shift shows in their active projects (mega-swarm drone formations, FAA compliance workflows) and pain points (fleet maintenance, pilot training, UAV technology evaluation) — suggesting a strategic pivot from traditional event marketing into capital-intensive, technically specialized experiences. Their stack (NetSuite, After Effects, Cinema 4D) reflects a hybrid creative + operations focus, while hiring leans intern-heavy in design, indicating rapid scaling of production capacity.
