it all began with a corporate burnout :)

Drop Hat Productions was founded from the belief that the strongest brands create more than visibility — they create connection, conversation, and cultural relevance.

After enough overly polished meetings, endless decks, and “circle back” culture, we realized the kind of creative work we cared about most needed more intention, more instinct, and a lot less corporate autopilot.

With decades of experience spanning hospitality, lifestyle, sports tech, partnerships, PR, investor relations and experiential marketing, we take a strategy-first approach to storytelling that helps brands show up with clarity, momentum, and intention.

Part creative direction, part brand strategy, part operator mindset — DHP exists to help brands become impossible to overlook.
