Strategic Partnerships

We work with international agencies, ticketing companies and technology providers. Every partnership lets us go further: more events, more countries, better technology. If you run a company and need an operational partner in Argentina or LATAM, let’s talk.

Our model

Every partnership works differently. With some we are the operating arm in Argentina for an international agency. With others, we are the access-control team for a ticketing company that operates in 12 countries. And with our technology partner, we operate their specialized access and accreditation system at every event. The model adapts, but the commitment is the same: to execute at the standard the partner needs.

Who we work with

Backyard Group

Mexico

An events and experiential marketing agency based in Mexico City. DER is their operating arm in Argentina: we executed 5 events together across different cities (Bariloche, Formosa, Catamarca, among others), under a master agreement with service orders per event.

Beyond 90

United Kingdom

A fan engagement agency based in Manchester, with direct contracts with Premier League clubs. They brought us in to run Manchester City FC’s Treble Trophy Tour in Buenos Aires: DER handled the full production of the event on the ground.

We Are Xi

United Kingdom

A technology and experiential marketing company with offices in London, New York, Cape Town and Madrid. They brought us on as their team in Buenos Aires for a global brand activation across 4 simultaneous cities, alongside Illusion DC and with Grey as the end-client’s agency. DER was responsible for location scouting, production budgets, furniture fabrication and permit coordination. The project was not executed by the client’s decision.

Hospitality management company

United Arab Emirates

A company specialized in hospitality management for high-level clients. They hired us to plan the full operation of a private VVIP corporate event for 300+ people in Bariloche: rotating menus, F&B logistics, equipment, serveware and industrial laundry. The project was not executed by the client’s decision.

Linkearte

International

An international ticketing company operating in 12 countries. They hire us as their access-control operator for the events they sell; we have worked together since 2023. Through Linkearte we have managed events such as Abel Pintos (30 dates, 30,000 attendees), Anuel AA (4 dates, 60,000 fans), the PresiDante Tour (6 cities, 16,000 attendees), La Mona Jiménez (8,000 attendees) and Brainrots in Spain (10 shows across 5 cities), among dozens more across 4 countries.

Accesos Paraguay

Paraguay / Argentina

Our technology partner for access control and accreditation, founded by Adrián Waysburt: over 10 years of experience and a pioneer in the Argentine market. It provides the specialized system DER operates (unique QR codes, real-time dashboard, mobile scanners and backup connectivity) at all our access-control events in Argentina, Bolivia, Guatemala and Spain.

FAQ

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

How does SOMOS DER work with international agencies?

We're your agency's local operation in Argentina and LATAM. We coordinate directly with your team in the UK, USA, Mexico or wherever you are: end-to-end production, bilingual communication and real-time reporting. You stay the owner of the relationship with the brand; we're your operational extension in the territory.

Which countries can you operate in?

Argentina (the whole country) as a base, plus projects executed across several LATAM countries. For new markets we partner with previously vetted local production companies and keep the central project-management role, so the standard is the same in every destination.

Do you work under an NDA from the first contact?

Yes. We sign an NDA before any project conversation if you need it, with templates ready in Spanish and English. Confidentiality with end clients (brands) and partner agencies is part of our minimum standard.

What cases have you produced for international agencies?

DiDi Argentina together with Backyard Group (Mexico), with simultaneous multi-city launches. The Manchester City Treble Trophy Tour with Beyond 90 (UK). The Shell activation with Venue Brand Experience (1,500 attendees, with Face ID). Access control for tours like Abel Pintos and Dante Gebel's PresiDante Tour through Linkearte. And we were We Are Xi's (UK) team in Buenos Aires for a global activation alongside Illusion DC and Grey.

How long does a quote take?

Between 48 and 72 business hours from the initial brief. For urgent or large-scale projects, we deliver a preliminary estimate in 24 hours and the detailed quote in about 5 days, with a prior site visit if the project requires it.

How do you invoice when working with overseas agencies?

We invoice in USD to the agency with an exportable Argentine invoice (E-export). For LATAM projects, according to the partner’s fiscal convenience. We also handle monthly retainer agreements for agencies with recurring flow.
