Stak Studio

What Stak Studio does

Stak Studio is a U.S.-based, private physical brand experience design and build firm founded in 2019 (with team experience of over a decade) and operating from bi-coastal regional offices in San Diego, CA and Minneapolis, MN. The company designs, fabricates, installs, and supports custom brand environments — including tradeshow booths, convention installations, event structures, and brand activations — for enterprise clients, with a stated zero-templates approach in which every booth is designed from scratch based on client goals, audience, and brand requirements. Its service offering is organized into three integrated pillars: Concept & Design (activation strategy, 3D rendering, floor plans, graphic and signage design, spatial planning), Logistics & Planning (staging, truss, lighting, LED walls, modular rentals, labor, vendor sourcing), and Production & Execution (installation, fabrication, load-in/load-out, transport, storage).

The firm's core technology is centered on physical fabrication and spatial design rather than software, combining 3D visualization, custom staging and lighting systems, LED wall integration, modular rentals, and on-site production management. Notable technical executions include a 5,000 sqft retail booth with 300+ SKUs and four checkout stations built for the CrossFit Games 2024, a two-story barn structure installed in under 12 hours for PRVN at the CrossFit Games, and a 50'x30' Red Bull Rancher Strong event barn.

Stak Studio makes money through bespoke, project-based pricing with no public rate cards or catalogs. Revenue is generated primarily from enterprise brand clients on multi-year contractual relationships, delivered via a direct sales-led B2B motion targeting brand managers, marketing teams, and event coordinators. Named customers include Red Bull, CrossFit Inc., Jocko Fuel, PRVN, Ice Barrel, Zevia, FITAID, and ROMWOD, with concentration in the fitness/sports and beverage/CPG verticals. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales across a single-country (U.S.) footprint, supported by website portfolio, case studies, and consultation-driven lead capture.
