The American Heart Association’s 2024 Red Dress Collection Concert earned a PLATINUM award in the Special Events category! This year’s Jazz at Lincoln Center concert featured musical performances by Mickey Guyton and Demi Lovato, a star-studded fashion show, and inspirational stories from women affected by heart disease. We’re honored to help AHA create this beautiful combination of red-carpet glamour and women’s health advocacy year after year!
RBP got some great news from the Hermes Creative Awards this week — we won in three categories! Stay tuned for a behind the scenes look at what made each of these events shine!🏆
Another amazing upfront with Telemundo! Their theme this year was ‘Next Level’ and we’re biased but we agree!
Why have your guests just watch your content when you could immerse them in it?
RBP has received a Best Cause Event award from Eventex for our work on the American Heart Association’s Red Dress Collection Concert! We’re so grateful that we get to partner with AHA year after year to tell stories that have the power to save lives.
So excited to announce that RBP is a finalist for Eventex’s Best Cause Event award! We’re so grateful to our friends at the American Heart Association for trusting us to tell their story year after year.
From the desk of President & Partner Jeremy Driesen:
Staying in business is hard, and it’s amazing to me that 2024 marks 70 years for RBP. We’ve been producing events longer than any other independently-owned company in the United States. We live in a very different world now from the one our company’s founders lived in 70 years ago, but our philosophy has stayed the same: put the client first and trust that good fortune will follow.
I credit much of our longevity to the freedom we give our team. During my first interview, it came up that I was a working drummer. My little drumming empire was modest, but it was my little empire. I was interested in the job, but I didn’t know if I was ready to give up what I’d built as a working musician. Luckily, I was never asked to, and I’m still in touch with then-president Frank Dickson, the man who hired me. He’s the son of one of our founders and still a go-to guy for me when I need wise and experienced counsel.
I think RBP was ahead of its time in treating employees having a life outside of work as an asset. Our team today is made up of people with a passion – music, art, athletics, travel – and we encourage them to pursue it. How can you tell someone else’s story when you don’t have one yourself?
All this is to say thank you. Thank you for keeping us around for 70 incredible years, and hopefully many more to come.
Other notable anniversaries in 2024:
My parents got married the same year that RBP was founded and they are also celebrating their 70th anniversary this year.
The Zildjian cymbal company, very near and dear to my heart, was founded 400 years ago this year in Constantinople.
🔑 The key to intimate gatherings? Make each individual member of the audience feel like a specific aspect of the event was created just for them. 🌟 This starts with identifying your target audience and taking it into account when planning your event.

We love building platforms — both literally and figuratively — that give women the space to share their stories. Happy Women’s History Month!
You don’t need a huge buildout to create a stunning immersive environment, like this one we created for Datorama at Spring Studios.
Another American Heart Association Red Dress Collection Concert in the books! We heard so many incredible survivors share their stories, the fashion was top notch, and Demi Lovato and Mickey Guyton brought down the house. We’re so grateful to be a part of this event and help AHA spend a night celebrating the amazing work they do for women’s heart health!
And we won! We’re thrilled to be recognized for this amazing event! Thank you to for choosing us and of course to our clients at Screenvision for entrusting us with their story. Can’t believe it’s almost Upfront/Newfront season again!
So excited to share that this inspiring and FUN event we did for Screenvision is a Best Upfront Finalist for the 2023 Bizbash Awards!
Introducing Will Campisano! Will joined our sales team in October and we’re so happy to have him. Will was drawn to this business because he loves meeting people who are changing the world and because “it’s so cool to see the grand scale of these events and all the work that goes into running them, and even cooler to see the impact they can have.” Will’s favorite RBP memory so far is being able to see two of his idols – Spike Lee and Busta Rhymez – on the same night at Screenvision’s 2023 Upfront, which he describes as a “back-to-back fangirl marathon.” Off the clock, you can find Will doing all things music, from freestyle rapping to practicing one of his many instruments. Head to our story to find out more about Will!
Wherever you are and whatever you celebrate, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!
We had a fantastic time producing the L’Oréal North America Beauty Shaker Awards again this year. Big congratulations to all the amazing winners!
Bringing stories to life is a team sport (sometimes literally), like in this activation we created for ESPN!
Icons!
Some shots from Rocktoberfest NYC! So much gratitude and admiration for our friends at ALTSO for the incredible work they do year-round. Thanks for letting us help you rock out this year!🎸

We’re honored to be ALTSO’s Exclusive Production Partner for Rocktoberfest NYC! They are an incredible organization that’s provided 22,000 children in developing nations with free mobility aids since 2003, and we couldn’t be more excited to help further their mission through this impactful and super fun event!
Not a bad seat in the house!
Trends come and go, but we love a modern take on the classic red carpet💃🏼
Fernanda Balzaretti started working at RBP a year ago, first as an intern and now as an account associate, all while pursuing her Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts degrees at NYU! Fernanda loves that the experiences we create have an impact on people’s lives. Her favorite show she’s been a part of so far was Telemundo’s 2022 Upfront because of how excited the audience was to celebrate the Hispanic community and see a live performance from Ozuna. Fernanda spends her time outside of work writing music (stay tuned for future releases), spending time with friends and family, and playing soccer. Check out our story to find out more about Fernanda!
Alexa, play Mi Gente by J Balvin!
One of the best parts of working in this business is getting to hear the coolest people talk about their passions!
Just some front row style inspo for your enjoyment!
Introducing Alisha Horesh – a new addition to our rockstar sales team! We first met Alisha when she worked on the venue side of our industry, and we’re so excited to have her onboard. Alisha loves creating events that bring people together, and her favorite part of the process is being able to stand back and watch audiences “learn, socialize, and smile.” Off the clock, Alisha loves spending time with her nieces and nephew, preferably at the pool or the beach. Check out our story for some fun facts about Alisha!
