Robb Wagner—Leading the Future at Stimulated-Inc. and Next Vegas™
Robb Wagner is the founder of Stimulated-Inc., a creative studio specializing in media-driven entertainment, experiences, and content designed to perform.
His career began with briefs like: “Nobody knows how to do this—can you figure it out?” Robb always said yes. That mindset led to breakthrough projects, including:
- Filling 50 video screens at the MTV Video Music Awards
- Staging Disney concerts where performers moved seamlessly between live action and film
- Shooting a 3D concert feature for Disney in a single night
- Creating immersive 4D visuals for Michael Jackson’s This Is It
- Designing interactive media environments for the world’s largest cruise ships
Robb’s ability to cross-pollinate industries sets him apart. He takes proven ideas from TV, film, concerts, and cruise entertainment and applies them in unexpected places like brand, retail, and F&B. This approach drives transformation and unlocks new value from new and existing investments.
It’s what he calls Experiential Transformation.
Robb has helped transform a Disney TV movie into a touring concert. A tour into a theatrical feature. A cruise ship theater into a multimedia playground. He’s drawn to industries ripe for change—especially where media can elevate underutilized or underperforming assets into something unforgettable.
His latest venture, Next Vegas™, is a creative think tank and development hub helping casinos and destinations evolve through immersive, media-powered entertainment that drives visitation, dwell time, and repeat business. Robb has doubled down on this vision by opening a second base in Henderson, NV, and now splits his time between there and Stimulated-Inc.’s El Segundo studio.

“Robb’s a true theatre magician. How he imagines what is possible onstage between live action and video image is remarkable and uniquely inventive. How he creates images, his vast knowledge of video resources and animation possibility completely changed our shows from fun & engaging to one-of-a-kind theatrical experiences. He’s imaginative, smart, super practical and best of all – a terrific collaborator. He’s out for the best production possible, and that’s what we have at because of his work.”
