Who Are We?
Austin Gwaltney and Dmitry Mikhaylov, the creators behind Escape Room Launchpad, own 15 entertainment businesses spread across five states. They just opened another Escape Room in Charlotte, NC in March 2026.
Their innovative marketing strategies consistently drive bookings for FECs, escape rooms, and other entertainment concepts—often increasing revenue by 22–47% in a short period of time.
Even if you’re using the same strategies as other FECs, escape rooms, or entertainment venues, there’s a massive opportunity to grow. By implementing their proven marketing systems—built around influencer marketing and attraction-specific tactics—you can unlock significant revenue gains. These methods have been tested and refined in both their own businesses and across their client base.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help attractions thrive. We exist to give owners the tools, strategies, and systems they need to grow revenue, increase bookings, and deliver exceptional guest experiences. What started as hands-on experience operating attractions has evolved into a proven marketing approach that helps venues across the country scale faster and more efficiently.
