What Plant Street Studios does

Plant Street Studios is a Winter Garden, Florida-headquartered creative content agency, originally founded in 1997 and operating until recently as Go Convergence, that serves Fortune 500 enterprises and global brand leaders with brand development, strategic storytelling, destination marketing, performance content, immersive experiences, and cloud-based post-production. The firm is organized into six primary specialty teams — Levitator (brand building), HappyFXN (destination marketing), Brand Action Co. (performance/DTC content), Aloha Post (cloud post-production), Experience Division (immersive installations), and Backpack Social (social content) — plus a Remote XR Studios unit for VR/XR/AR work, sold as an integrated studio model that combines strategy, creative, and production under one roof.

The agency's core technology surface centers on Aloha Post, a cloud-based post-production and VFX platform enabling a 24/7 distributed workflow with connected video editing, sound design, motion graphics, VFX, 3D animation, and color grading. The Experience Division and Remote XR Studios deliver large-format immersive installations, including 3D projection mapping (e.g., the Grand Hall at St. Louis Union Station, part of a $66.3M restoration) and XR/VR/AR content, while Brand Action Co. layers data-driven performance content onto the same production backbone. Notable enterprise clients span travel and hospitality (Nassau Paradise Island, Holland America Line, Baha Mar, Four Seasons, Atlantis, Hyatt, Margaritaville, One & Only, Carnival), aviation (Cirrus Aircraft, Sierra Space, Signature), consumer products (Lovesac, Waterpik, GO2Bank, Nutri Ninja, Generac), and entertainment and healthcare (Universal Orlando, Walt Disney World, NBC Studios, Guinness World Records, 3M, Prudential, AdventHealth).

Commercially, Plant Street Studios operates on a project-based, custom-scoped professional services model, with pricing quote-driven and not publicly disclosed, sold directly to enterprise clients via website inquiry and executive outreach. The firm employs between 11 and 50 staff across Winter Garden, Orlando, Park City, New York, and Los Angeles offices. It was acquired in 2024 by Gaishou LLC, a holding company controlled by co-founders Gary Turchin and Kenny Taht, and in 2025 was named one of Travel Weekly's Top 10 Agencies of the Year, winning multiple Gold Magellan Awards. The revenue mix is dominated by enterprise content engagements with no recurring platform or SaaS revenue identified.
