Volt Creative

What Volt Creative does

Volt Creative is a privately held, bootstrapped creative design and development agency headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee with a secondary office in Brooklyn, New York. The firm operates as Volt Creative LLC and is led by founder Alec Strickland, with a headcount of 1-10 employees. It specializes in delivering custom digital experiences for the music, entertainment, and brand sectors, with a client roster that spans A-list recording artists, all three major record labels, major independent labels, large-scale music festivals, and entertainment brands including Disney, Dreamworks, Spotify, and TikTok. The agency's core services cover four disciplines — Design, Development, Marketing, and Motion — delivered through project-based professional services engagements scoped and priced per client.

The agency's technical stack is centered on modern web frameworks including Three.js, A-Frame (WebXR/WebVR), the 8th Wall AR platform, Mapbox, Spotify API (with custom OAuth 2.0 integrations), and TensorFlow.js for select interactive experiences. Notable productized capabilities include browser-based AR scavenger hunts (deployed for Parkway Drive with 600+ global digital drop locations), VR/WebXR immersive environments (e.g., Starset), interactive bracket applications tied to streaming-platform APIs (I Prevail Bracket-ology), and high-traffic festival websites for events such as Aftershock, Louder Than Life, Sonic Temple, and TikTok In The Mix. The firm also produces motion graphics, poster and merch design, and broader digital marketing campaign work.

Volt Creative generates revenue through custom-scoped, project-based professional services with quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed; engagements can run on multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach to artists, labels, festival promoters, and brands, supplemented by inbound inquiries, an organic social presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Spotify, case-study-driven portfolio marketing, and industry referrals. The company has not raised external funding and operates as an independent, founder-owned LLC serving a global client base from its two US offices.
