Department Zero is a boutique advertising services firm that specialized in experiential marketing. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, it operated from 2003 to 2020, delivering live brand activations and related experiences that help brands connect with consumers, often in collaboration with partner agencies. The company worked with agency partners such as VML to support campaigns, including the launch of Second Skin high-performance training apparel at Dick's Sporting Goods. The organization maintained a relatively small team and relied on an internal framework designed to structure activations toward measurable results. In 2013, Department Zero introduced a framework termed the Four Points of Empowerment to guide its brand activations. In December 2020, Chief Marketer recognized the company as a Promo Top Shop, signaling external industry acknowledgment of its work.
