Today we’d like to introduce you to Kseniia Chursina & Aleksey Chursin
Hi Kseniia Chursina & Aleksey Chursin, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Our journey began in 2015 with STUDIO 2112, a creative agency dedicated to experiential marketing and brand communications. At the time, we aimed to bridge our passion for storytelling with the growing demand for meaningful brand experiences. Over the years, we built a reputation for delivering exceptional campaigns for high-profile clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Disney, PepsiCo, and many others.
In 2018, inspired by the synergy between food and events, we launched STUDIO CATERING in Moscow to provide high-end catering services for corporate and private clients. It quickly became a natural extension of our expertise in event production.
In 2022, we relocated to Los Angeles, California, seeking to challenge ourselves in a new market. Building on our success, we expanded to Dallas, Texas, in 2024 to connect with the vibrant and growing community here.
Our story is one of resilience and adaptability, rooted in a commitment to excellence and creativity. What began as a single vision has evolved into two thriving brands, united by a mission to bring people together and create unforgettable experiences.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been an easy road – we’ve faced significant challenges, starting with earning the trust of our clients. Our clientele includes large, well-known corporations and private clients with above-average budgets. This demands the highest level of execution, as STUDIO CATERING is not just about food – it’s about delivering creative concepts and telling the unique stories our clients wish to share through their events.
To maintain this standard, we dedicate meticulous attention to selecting the right team, coordinating every request from start to finish across various locations, and seamlessly managing operations. This involves extensive negotiations, budget planning, and the ability to work collaboratively with both creative teams and production chains, ensuring the highest quality food and services for our clients.
When we relocated our business to the United States, we essentially started from scratch. We had to learn a new market, identify suitable production facilities, build a new team, secure the necessary licenses, and establish a brand-new client base. It’s been a long journey, requiring continuous effort to uphold the quality and standards of our work.
While the road has been challenging, it reflects our dedication and passion for creating exceptional experiences. Every step has strengthened our resolve to deliver the very best to our clients.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about STUDIO CATERING?
As mentioned earlier, STUDIO CATERING provides catering services for both corporate and private clients. However, our service goes far beyond food – we create a unique story for each client. Every project involves a talented creative team, including directors, designers, producers, and chefs, all working together to bring our clients’ visions to life. This collaboration allows us to craft unforgettable experiences that leave a lasting impression.
It’s this creative approach that truly sets us apart from competitors. We offer a full-service catering experience that includes event direction, decor, programming, and more. For each event, we design a customized menu and presentation that aligns perfectly with the event’s unique concept. We can even incorporate theatrical performances to elevate the experience further.
When clients choose us, they aren’t just getting food – they’re receiving unforgettable emotions and moments. This level of creativity and attention to detail is something few others in the catering industry can offer.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
If we could give advice to our past selves or anyone just starting out, it would be this: don’t hesitate to talk about your business, even if you’re just getting started. Don’t wait until you’ve achieved significant results – because if you stay focused and work consistently toward your goal, those results will come.
It’s essential to have unwavering belief in your idea and never let anyone make you doubt the value of your service. Success doesn’t happen overnight, and your first projects might be far from perfect. But those early mistakes and experiences are invaluable stepping stones to greater achievements.
Ignore the naysayers – you will encounter people, sometimes even close friends or family, who doubt your potential. But if you love what you do, stay committed, and keep pushing forward. In the end, you will succeed, and those who doubted you will come back asking how you managed to accomplish so much.
