What The Production Network does

The Production Network (TPN) is a Seattle-based creative, technology, and production agency that designs, produces, and executes live, virtual, and hybrid events for enterprise and non-profit clients globally. The company's work spans five service pillars: Digital Experiences (virtual/hybrid production with AI-driven accessibility captioning), Production Management (end-to-end event production, speaker support, technical direction), Experiential Marketing (brand activations, product launches, expos, pop-ups), Content & Media (capture, post-production, distribution), and Metaverse & Web3 (immersive XR experiences built on the proprietary Odyssey platform and Unreal Engine 5 digital twins). TPN's underlying technology stack combines the Odyssey no-code metaverse platform, AI-powered captioning with 3-5 second latency versus an industry-standard 5-10 seconds, photorealistic venue visualization in Unreal Engine 5, projection-mapping production tooling, and platform-agnostic integrations with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Amazon Chime, Bizabo, and Hovercast.

TPN generates revenue almost exclusively from project-based professional services engagements, with quote-based pricing determined by scope, scale, and complexity; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The commercial motion is enterprise field sales supplemented by inbound from a deep case-study portfolio and a long-standing presence at marquee industry events such as CES (27 consecutive years as exclusive keynote production partner for the Consumer Technology Association), E3, GDC, and PAX. In January 2023, TPN merged with Evia to form one of the largest production agencies in the Pacific Northwest, combining TPN's physical-event production scale with Evia's digital content capabilities; the merger also precipitated a leadership transition with Allison DeLeone becoming President & CEO alongside founder John Vadino, CTO Jared Clifton, CSO Rachael Truscott, and CGO Daniel Thompson. The customer base is concentrated in enterprise technology (Microsoft, Amazon, AWS, Databricks, ServiceNow, Tableau, Salesforce, Smartsheet, Impinj, Dell, Kyndryl, Xbox, Valve), with additional exposure to aerospace (Boeing), gaming/esports (Xbox, Trolli, Cheez-It/PUBG), retail (Brooks Running, Kroger), non-profit (PATH), and consumer brands across seven US offices plus project-based global deployment. Note: the firmographic record lists founding year as 1989 while the company history source attributes founding to 1997 based on CES tenure; the company-history figure is the better-supported claim.
