Expansion Opportunity Kern Studios is expanding office space in New Orleans East with two warehouses to store around 150 floats and support float-building operations, signaling capacity for larger projects and multi-site production. This suggests potential upsell to comprehensive, year-round experiential campaigns and large-scale parade/event builds beyond Mardi Gras.

Brand Partnerships With a history working with Universal Studios, Disney, Chick-fil-A and past collaborations with Walmart and Experiential Supply Co., Kern Studios demonstrates strong capabilities in high-profile brand storytelling, immersive installations, and cross-channel experiential marketing, indicating readiness for premium branded experiences and co-branded campaigns.

Outdoor & Experiential Focus Specializing in 3D props, large-scale installations, and outdoor advertising for experiential marketing places Kern Studios as a prime supplier for seriously immersive campaigns, parades, and festival activations, offering opportunities to expand into stadiums, theme parks, and live-event experiences.

Regional Growth & Partnerships Longstanding New Orleans roots with expanded operations and collaboration history (Chnola, Downtown Development District, local media) indicate solid regional momentum and strong local partnerships, perfect for targeted regional campaigns, hospitality experiences, and community-focused activations.

Creative Technology Stack Adopting tools like Google Cloud, WordPress, Shopify, and analytics via Hotjar suggests capability to support digital-physical integrations, e-commerce-enabled props, and data-driven activation campaigns, enabling cross-sell of hybrid experiences, merchandise, and online-to-offline activations.
