Experiential agency formalizes its long-standing relationship with the Laravel-powered CMS, expanding enterprise support for complex digital experiences and applications

Futureman Digital, a Chicago-based experiential agency known for campaigns and activations for brands including Red Bull, Ally, IBM, and AT&T, has entered into an agreement with Statamic to become the platform’s first and only Enterprise Partner in North America.

Statamic is a Laravel-powered content management system (CMS) used by developers, agencies, and organizations worldwide. The new designation sits above its Certified Partner program and is intended for agencies using the platform across complex, large-scale deployments.

The agreement formalizes a relationship developed over five years, during which Futureman has used Statamic to support digital experiences across industries including hospitality, entertainment, and healthcare.

Five Years of Building Digital Experiences With Statamic

Futureman adopted Statamic five years ago and has been a Certified Partner for three years. The agency has used the platform for projects including Ally Paint Shop, Map the Meal Gap, BravoCon, Outside Lands, and Hershey’s Super Sweet Adventure.

According to Futureman, Statamic’s flexible architecture and integration with the Laravel ecosystem allow its engineering teams to develop customized digital experiences without being constrained by a predefined frontend framework.

“We moved to Statamic because it was one of the only platforms that didn’t come with an opinionated frontend attached,” said Conrad Fuhrman, Chief Technology Officer at Futureman Digital. He added that the platform allows the agency to prioritize its ideas and technical requirements while building on the Laravel ecosystem it already uses.

Flexible Technology Supports Faster Development

Futureman said its technology strategy has focused on consolidating its technology stack and adopting emerging tools more efficiently. The agency began developing its AI capabilities in 2021, around the same time it sought to streamline its infrastructure to support faster innovation and delivery.

The agency reported that adopting Statamic nearly doubled its engineering output while helping lower development costs for clients and accelerate the introduction of new technologies. It also cited security, platform flexibility, and scalability as important considerations in its decision.

Futureman manages design and development in-house, covering ideation, discovery, design, and engineering. Its approach combines CMS capabilities with the flexibility required for interactive campaigns, live events, and application-based experiences.

Enterprise Partnership Adds Support and Roadmap Access

The Enterprise Partner agreement gives Futureman direct access to Statamic’s core team, priority input into the platform’s roadmap, and enterprise-grade support commitments that the agency can extend to its clients.

These provisions are intended to help address the technical support, security, and procurement requirements associated with large-scale brand engagements.

Jack McDade, Founder of Statamic, said Futureman has expanded the platform into areas such as live events, applications, and experiential projects.

He noted that the agency’s work demonstrates how Statamic can support use cases beyond conventional content management, adding that selecting Futureman as the first Enterprise Partner in North America was a straightforward decision.

Futureman Plans to Expand Its Statamic Practice

Futureman plans to broaden its Statamic practice across application-based projects and off-network experiential experiences, making the platform available to clients as a fully supported enterprise foundation.

The partnership reflects the growing role of flexible CMS platforms in supporting complex digital experiences that require customization, scalability, and integration with emerging technologies.

By combining Statamic’s technical foundation with Futureman’s in-house design and engineering capabilities, the companies aim to support enterprise clients developing more customized digital platforms, applications, and brand experiences.
