What DBD The Studio does

DBD The Studio, operating as The Studio North America, is a Las Vegas-headquartered, full-service experiential design and production company serving enterprise clients across the United States. Founded in 1989 (firmographic data also references 1990), the firm has operated continuously for 35 years and employs 86 people. Its offering spans four integrated service pillars — Creative Direction, Events & Experiences, Design & Fabrication, and Production — supplemented by specialized Trade Shows, Immersive Activations, Fabrication, Floral Services, and Rentals. The company handles projects end-to-end in-house, from concept, 3D rendering, and storyboarding through custom fabrication (3D printing, metalwork, woodwork, props, signage), on-site installation, venue management, shipping, staffing, and destination management.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales: it sells custom, quote-based project engagements directly to Fortune 500 corporations and major entertainment, hospitality, sports, technology, automotive, cruise, and consumer brands. The disclosed client roster includes NFL, AT&T, Toyota, Oracle, MGM Resorts, Live Nation, F1, LinkedIn, Caesars Palace, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Albertsons, Ulta Beauty, Philips, DeWalt, Roku, and the Vegas Golden Knights, among roughly 30 named logos spanning multiple verticals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through project fees for design, fabrication, production, and event management services.

The business is privately held, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, subsidiaries, funding rounds, M&A activity, or executive leadership roster in the source material. The company operates as a single integrated service entity rather than a modular product platform, with nationwide U.S. reach anchored from its Las Vegas production facility. Its revenue model is professional services on a custom project basis, and there are no publicly disclosed financial figures.
