BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While COVID-19 has disrupted businesses, especially those focused on in-person experiences, BRC Imagination Arts (BRC), the global experience strategy, design and production agency, has continued to win new brand, cultural and museum destination projects. The creative agency is currently developing new emotionally engaging experiences for The Las Vegas Raiders, Horse Soldier Bourbon, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum and Ravinia Festival.

As one of its latest additions, BRC will join Horse Soldier Bourbon, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) and EOP Architects to create a new luxury distillery site spanning across 202-acres.
