AWARD WINNING CREATIVE AND VISIONARY BUSINESS LEADER

Jessica Resler is a business founder and visionary who has practiced her craft of experiential for over fifteen years. Jessica has continually pushed boundaries and redefined what it means to create - working in many design and technical mediums. She’s worked with some of the world’s top brands while also building projects from zero to one.

For a decade, Jessica built The Participation Agency - a pioneer in long form experiential and then exited the company at peak pandemic - looking for something fun. She found it with the creation and execution of Sharks, a groundbreaking staff-free pool club. In a remarkably short span of 24 months, she successfully launched seven locations, amassing a devoted following of tens of thousands fans and enthusiasts - and then sourced the deal and sold the company.

Through her unparalleled tenacity, Jessica seamlessly applies her expertise across a range of mediums, including immersive and experiential design, graphic and content creation, art-driven environments, and emerging technologies. Her keen eye for design and her ability to conceptualize and execute ideas have set her apart as a pursuant of all that is excellence.

Now, with her maverick approach to business and an unwavering passion for original thinking, she is building CAPE, an Experiential Entertainment company and BAND, an Experiential Services & Products company.

As a trailblazer in shaping the future of immersive business and design - both new ventures will take on world’s stage projects focusing on impact, joy and as always - fun.
