Bring together celebrity pitmasters, BBQ enthusiasts, and thousands of Smithfield’s ribs, and you have the Get Grilling America tour. The ribs were cooked low and slow but the tour wasn’t.

Our team developed and managed the national product sampling tour with stops in 20 markets. At each stop, the Smithfield team showcased their Fresh Pork, connected with grocers and distributors, and shared BBQ tips and tricks with attendees. From these events, Smithfield added thousands of consumers to its loyalty program, strengthened its relationship with competition pitmasters, and created a memorable experience with potential customers.

Parade of Hearts takes everyday experiences and turns them into a chance to celebrate diversity, unite communities, and support local nonprofits. Each year, local artists from the Kansas City area design beautiful KC hearts for this event.

During the Parade of Hearts residents and visitors alike experience the heart of Kansas City by seeing their communities come to life. It’s more than looking for hearts, it’s getting to know a city. From event strategy and heart logistics to press and parade operations, our team gets to celebrate this city we call home. We produce and manage kickoff, liaison for all artists, manage design submission process, and work with the manufacturer to deliver the hearts to artists and then to owners.

The holidays in Kansas City don’t begin until the Plaza Lights are twinkling. The lights have been a local tradition for more than 90 years, with each year an opportunity to bring a community together and create memories that last a lifetime.

With 15-blocks of thousands of glimmering, jewel-colored lights that accentuate every dome, tower, and window of the Spanish-inspired shopping district, this holiday lighting is a spectacle. Many families in the area close out their Thanksgiving by attending or watching the broadcast. Curating a production of local entertainers to ring in the holiday season is our job, but for the community that gets to see it, it is an unforgettable memory.

We recently completed our third year of managing the event, stage production, lighting, and audio, as well as curating and managing the event entertainment and run of show the night of the event. And the most important part – curating the celebrity or local dignitary that will flip the switch and kick off Kansas City’s holiday season.

The Downtown Council Annual Luncheon is the organization’s signature event. Day after day they work tirelessly to ensure Downtown Kansas City is a safe and vibrant place to work, play, and live. The luncheon is an opportunity to celebrate Downtown Kansas City and the efforts of the organization.

Because they are so invested in the city, we turn the room and event into a celebration of all Kansas City has to offer. We handle room design, catering, programming, script writing, and show production. Attendees taste local favorites, meet active members of the community, visit over 50 exhibitors, and hear all about the great things in their city. It’s basically a giant pep-rally for the city that our community looks forward to every year.
