The South Carolina Coast and Georgia are about to become global MICE destinations with Juice Studios, a DMC, now part of the DMC Network in the USA. Based on the local know-how and the 20+ years of industry experience of Juice Studios’ founders in the meetings industry, coupled with the international reach of DMC Network, business events and incentive travel in the region will get a boost.

The partnership further supports DMC Network’s renewed global positioning under its promise, “We’re Here for You,” reflecting the organisation’s focus on delivering international connectivity while maintaining the value of independent ownership, strong local knowledge and personalised destination expertise.

Founded in 2004 and based in Atlanta, Juice Studios brings more than two decades of experience in creating meetings, events and destination experiences for corporate and incentive travellers. The company serves the Lowcountry region stretching from Charleston to Amelia Island, with operational hubs in Savannah and Charleston.

Through its experienced team, Juice Studios delivers a wide range of destination management solutions, including meeting planning, event production and creative design, transportation services, entertainment arrangements and incentive programme support throughout Georgia and neighbouring coastal destinations.

The addition of Juice Studios marks an important expansion for DMC Network within one of the United States’ key meetings and incentives markets. The partnership follows a strategic search for a destination partner that combines strong regional capabilities, proven operational expertise and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional experiences.

By joining the Network, Juice Studios will contribute its local insight and established relationships while gaining access to DMC Network’s broader global platform, helping planners create seamless and memorable events across the region.

Aoife Delaney, Managing Director of DMC Network, said: “Georgia and South Carolina Coast are important destinations for our clients, so it was important to us that we took the time to find the right partner. In Juice Studios, we believe we have done exactly that.

“They bring the local knowledge, creativity and operational strength our clients expect, but just as importantly, they understand what it means to be part of DMC Network. Our community is built around independent businesses that want to collaborate, share expertise and support one another, while remaining personally accountable for what happens in their own destinations. Juice Studios fits that model extremely well.”

Juice Studios brings together deep destination expertise with strong creative and event production capabilities, offering a complete range of services from corporate meetings and executive retreats to incentive programmes, large-scale events and customised guest experiences. The company combines extensive local knowledge with a distinctive approach centred on Southern hospitality, creative concepts and seamless event execution.

Kris Hammett, Managing Partner at Juice Studios, said: “We have known and respected DMC Network and its members for a long time, so joining feels like a very natural next step for Juice Studios. What particularly appealed to us was the community behind the Network. These are independent businesses that understand their destinations intimately but also recognise the value of sharing ideas, knowledge and relationships with others around the world.

“We are excited to bring our experience in Georgia and South Carolina Coast into that community, while giving our own team the opportunity to be part of something bigger within the industry.”

Kris Shea, Managing Partner at Juice Studios, added: “That sense of community really matters to us. DMC Network gives us the opportunity to remain proudly independent and true to the way we work, while connecting our clients and our team with an exceptional group of destination experts globally.

“We share the Network’s belief in relationships, responsiveness and having knowledgeable people on the ground who are personally invested in getting things right. We are looking forward to contributing to the Network, learning from our fellow members and creating new opportunities together.”

The addition of Juice Studios further expands DMC Network’s independently owned US partner network while highlighting its ongoing focus on working with destination specialists that share the organisation’s commitment to local expertise, strong collaboration, reliability and personalised service.
