Tyler Hollinger

Founder & Creative Producer

Tyler Hollinger is the Founder and Creative Director of Highlife Productions, an experiential marketing and event production agency specializing in immersive brand activations, luxury hospitality, and unforgettable live experiences.

For more than two decades, Tyler has partnered with global brands, advertising agencies, tourism organizations, luxury fashion houses, and hospitality companies to transform ideas into experiences that inspire conversation, strengthen brand loyalty, and create lasting memories. His work spans product launches, experiential marketing campaigns, New York Fashion Week activations, pop-up retail experiences, corporate events, influencer programs, culinary festivals, and destination hospitality events across the United States.

Under Tyler's creative leadership, Highlife Productions has produced projects for brands including Netflix, Michael Kors, Rebecca Minkoff, Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Wonder Bread, Marshalls, Pilot, Stila Cosmetics, Compass, and many others. The agency has also created and produced original experiential properties such as Secret Summer, America's first Farm-to-Bar® cocktail festival, and the Aquarius Sustainable Seafood Festival.

Tyler's approach to event production is rooted in one simple belief: every event should tell a story. Whether designing a luxury fashion launch, transforming a storefront into an immersive pop-up, producing a corporate summit, or creating an intimate private dinner, he believes the most successful experiences combine thoughtful design, exceptional hospitality, flawless logistics, and meaningful human connection.

In addition to leading Highlife Productions, Tyler is the owner of FESTIVÁL Café, a New York City cocktail café and experiential venue that serves as both a neighborhood destination and a turnkey space for brand activations, product launches, media events, and experiential marketing campaigns. This unique combination of agency, venue, and hospitality operations gives Highlife a distinct advantage—allowing clients to work with one team from concept through execution.

Today, Tyler continues to collaborate with brands, agencies, and creative partners to develop experiences that blur the lines between marketing, hospitality, entertainment, and culture. His passion for innovation, storytelling, and impeccable guest experiences has made Highlife Productions a trusted production partner for organizations seeking to create events that people don't just attend—they remember.
