Behind The Hot Red Carpet

It all started with a bath mat

Erin Brown got her start in NYC pedaling Xerox equipment while moonlighting as a stand up comic.  Four day jobs, a handful of TV & radio commercials, and countless comedy performances later, Erin headed to Hollywood and began crashing events with her personal red carpet doing tongue & cheek interviews. This stunt evolved into an award-winning webseries ‘Hot on the Red Carpet’ which featured some pretty famous faces. While fun and exhilarating the hustle was not very profitable and also exhausting.  Erin shifted the focus of her talent and now helps people looking to supercharge the vibe of their events by providing customized and unforgettable 'hot red carpet' experiences which extend to live and virtual emcee performance as well as hosting team bonding games like SURVEY SAYZ, (a spin off of a popular game show that rhymes with Mamily Mood).  Stress causes 80 percent of illness, so all of Erin's work centers on increasing the levity of any occasion adding value that feels good.

Hot Red Carpet REvolution


WHERE IT STARTED…

As the recipient of the prestigious award “Most Talkative” in 8th grade, Erin Brown, was born to be a comedic red carpet interviewer. Upon winning another big award, “Space Cadet”, in high school, she knew her bubbly personality could disram anyone. She went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Boston College with a Marketing and Spanish degree becoming a professional comedian and actress. Makes sense so far, right? (Confused? So were her parents…)

IDEAS FORMED…

This tapestry of experience led her to carry her own Red Carpet conducting tongue and cheek interviews winning her yet another coveted award, Best Hosted Web Series ITV Fest. This evolved into a business serving up out-of-the-box red carpet interviews at private affairs from weddings to corporate events.

IDEAS WERE BUILT…

In 2020 when the Red Carpet began really rolling and the world closed, Erin parlayed her natural emcee skills and began serving up Survey Sayz to organizations desperate for virtual team bonding that was inclusive, engaging and something people actually wanted to turn off Netflix and attend. That’s when our “Space Cadet” of New Jersey saw folks struggling in front of the camera and created the Red Carpet Confidence workshop.

WHERE WE ARE TODAY…

Now that the world re-opened her doors, Erin and her team inspire folks to step in the spotlight by having fun whether on the red carpet, behind a game show buzzer, or in front of their webcam. Hot Red Carpet wants people to show up because it believes no one should underestimate their own impact

Hot Red Reviews

  • "Erin made our wedding! People still talk about our "red carpet" today! A lot of our "out of town" guests thought it was so much fun to do the "Hollywood thing" since we were all in LA, and the best part is we have the funniest keepsake. It is like having a wedding video, except it's all your friends and family being asked really fun questions about you that will make you laugh years later."

    Britney & Jaylen

  • “Erin Brown is one of the most uniquely talented people I’ve ever met and worked with. She brings a level of engagement and energy to her work that is truly rare! If you are looking for a professional to bring something interesting, fun, engaging and unique to your next event, you cannot go wrong inviting Erin to participate. She’s brilliant with a sharp and observant sense of humor that helps make her productions one-of-a-kind. I would heartily recommend Erin to anyone organizing an event and looking to bring these qualities to it!”

    Chris Osborn, Director of Marketing F-Stop

  • “Erin is fabulous, hilarious, and an absolute star! In a world that now seems like one giant boring zoom room, Survey Sayz was a phenomenal change of pace. I laughed, I was challenged, I bonded with other contestants, my competitive side got a chance to shine (in healthy way), and heck - I even learned some stuff! All in all this was by far the most unique and fun Zoom experience I've had to date. I highly highly suggest!”
