DALI
We create the culture, bring the people, and create the experience.
An experience agency.
Dali Presents is a full-service experience agency taking a culture-first approach to brand problems. We work with the restaurants, bars, roasters, studios and creators who set the taste in every city we land in.
We do not own venues. We have the relationships, so the doors open, the right people show up, and the whole thing is produced end to end. Strategy, creative, custom product, production, press and content. One point of contact, one schedule, one invoice.
We are not reacting to the culture. We are programming it.
Meet the team
The people behind the week. One production schedule, one invoice, and a team who can all answer for it.
Culture makers
We set the culture rather than react to it. The program, the partners and the people in the room come from relationships we have built over years.
The connections
Deep local relationships across venues, chefs and creators, so the work lands as an experience rather than an activation dropped into a city.
Points of contact
The whole team is at your service and will ensure the experience runs smoothly.
Tatanka Guerrero
President
Tatanka leads venue partnerships and the activation pipeline. He brings the rooms, the operators and the relationships that make a week in this district possible.
Derrick Burnett
Finance
Derrick runs finance and administration: contracts, insurance, vendor payments and the single invoice a client sees. Every vendor on a Dali week is paid directly by us.
Kari Ardalan
Managing Partner
Kari owns the brand relationships and signs the work. She is the first point of contact on every proposal that goes out and stays on it through delivery.
Lisa Hernandez
Business Development and Special Projects
Lisa leads new business and the projects that do not fit a category. She scopes the work, builds the production schedule and keeps the week on it.
Leticia Fornari
Marketing and Promotions Manager
Leticia runs press, social and promotion. She builds the audience before doors open and makes sure the room is full when they do.
