About

The producer
behind the moment.

Breanna Castro is a New York-based experiential producer and marketing leader who has spent over a decade doing what she loves — building brand experiences from the ground up. From intimate influencer moments to major tentpole activations like the Super Bowl and the US Open, she's led programs with budgets up to $4M and teams of 30+, overseeing every detail from concept through on-site execution — at every scale.

Her philosophy is straightforward: great experiences should do more than look good — they should mean something for the business behind them. Every guest touchpoint, every vendor call, every logistical decision ladders back to a real outcome.

What she brings to every project is equal fluency in the creative and commercial sides of marketing — sharpened through her work at Rakuten collaborating closely with revenue-generating teams. She knows how to translate brand storytelling into results, and how to build partner relationships that go the distance.

The approach

Strategy
meets spectacle.

Every event I produce is built on a simple premise: premium execution and strategic clarity are the same thing done well. The best experiences feel effortless to the audience — and that effortlessness is the result of obsessive planning, deep vendor relationships, and a relentless focus on what the brand actually needs to achieve.
