AGAR

AGAR Experience Is Everything We are Cultural Wondermakers. Quite literally, AGAR is the red substance in a petri dish that’s used to grow culture.

At AGAR, we merge experiential marketing, retail innovation, hospitality, and public art to transform the everyday into an opportunity for wonder. Founded on the premise that in today’s world the value of human connection inherently increases. AGAR has been growing culture through immersive, sensory experiential platforms since 2008.

Last September, purple footprints ran the length of the Purple People Bridge, symbolizing every step of Recovery, and the people making the journey. Transitions, Inc.'s annual National Recovery Month gathering reminds us each year: recovery is possible, and no one walks the road alone.

On Friday, September 11, 2026, the event returns to Covington Plaza with a goal of reaching an even wider audience. Featuring an unfiltered conversation with Dave Manheim of the D***y podcast and creator Gabbie Egan, plus a full evening of live music, free food, resources, community, and hope.

We're honored to partner with in making this event happen year after year. See you there. Bring someone.
We Recover Together 💜

Last month, our founding partner Josh Heuser went on The Working Lunch 🎙️ to talk about all things experiential marketing.

The underlying driver: as the world becomes more transactional, human experiences become more valuable. We call the spaces, moments, and connections that bring people together “emotional infrastructure,” and we’re proud of the role we’ve played in building it in Cincinnati - and around the country.

Sound, smell, touch, and taste are the difference between an event attended and an experience remembered.

So when creating experiences, we start with a question: does every sense have an intentional answer?

Swipe for a breakdown of how this approach played out at the Brooklyn Fete, our build for Angostura Rum in Brooklyn during Caribbean-American Heritage Month.

A scent strategy mapped to the rum’s own tasting notes. A Trinidadian caterer instead of a Caribbean-inspired menu. An arrival-to-peak music arc run by a cultural ambassador. And an ice pop on the way out, so the last taste was the one they took home 🥭

Our own studio made a pretty good backdrop 📸

Check out some BTS from our updated headshots shoot.

We shot these on the third floor of our office at Sample Space, a rentable venue in the heart of Downtown Cincinnati. The 3,500+ sq. ft. open-floor lounge and gallery make a flexible, experiential destination built for events, pop-ups, and creative use (including photography!) 👇

We set up a barbershop outside the stadium💈

Football's back, and we're throwing it back to one of our favorite pre-game setups with BuzzBallz 🍹 Our fresh cuts, fresh color, and crowd-favorite cocktails turned a stretch of pavement into a place fans actually wanted to be before kickoff.

Pre-game is its own kind of culture, and it deserves more than a folding table. Let's bring the energy. See you at the gates 🏈
