Sports and music. Inseparable. Athletic wear brands are all about being trendy, contemporary, and always ahead of the curve. Just like DJs, they bring energy and innovation to the forefront in their products, ads, and in-store experience. While jogging the aisles to try out sneakers, scaling the mini climbing wall, or testing out that swing, the beats and presence of a skilled live DJ transform the shopping trip into an experience. DJs channel your brand’s essence and tune into the vibe of customers and team members. By spinning the perfect tracks to meet the moment, the DJ makes everyone feel like they’re center stage in their own lives. For more than two decades, top brands like adidas, PUMA Group, JD Finish Line, and Alo Yoga have trusted our unmatched talent network and expert client management to deliver spot-on experiences in support of peak hours, promotional campaigns, seasonal foot traffic, and more. Whether you’re looking for a one-time activation or a multi-store experience across North America, we’ve got you covered. Reach out to us today to immerse your customers in your brand's lifestyle!

How do you know if your conference, trade show, or exhibit is a success? You’ll measure it with KPIs, but it’s in the vibrant energy of the room, the quality of guest interactions, and the unforgettable moments created. They foster the relationships that are at the heart of business growth. Big annual events are often the only chances to reconnect with colleagues, share drinks, attend lectures, and enjoy after-parties together. And nothing directs all of that attention more effectively than music. At Scratch (Event DJs | DJ Academy), we understand how to harness the power of music and the magic of a live DJ to set the perfect tone. Our clients have relied on us for over 20 years because we deliver seamless, top-quality entertainment that helps them fully engage their audience. With our network of over 7,500 vetted DJs, we’ve provided entertainment for countless conferences across North America and beyond, powered by the likes of Amazon, CoinDesk, and Cvent. Our comprehensive account management covers everything - from curating the perfect DJ to equipment, speakers, spin-art, and more - ensuring you get maximum impact with minimal stress.
