Engagements

We partner with select organizations across major events, foundations, and growth-focused companies. Each engagement is customized, and our work typically sits at the crossroads of strategy, partnerships, and disciplined revenue execution.

Representative organizations include civic institutions, national events, mission-driven foundations, and corporate partners.

  • 2024 NFL Draft Donor & Dignitary Program

    For the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, The-KBC led the design and execution of a purpose-built local donor and dignitary engagement program aligned with the event’s civic and philanthropic objectives.

    Working with Visit Detroit, the Detroit Sports Commission, multiple civic and corporate stakeholders and On Location, the NFL’s official hospitality partner, The-KBC aligned program objectives, structured the hospitality framework, and designed the experience for a select group of philanthropic donors, corporate partners, and civic leaders.

    The engagement required navigating complex event regulations while coordinating multiple stakeholders across government, nonprofit, and corporate sectors delivering a high-touch experience for invited guests and dignitaries.

    The focus included program structure, stakeholder alignment, and planning guidance designed to help the host committee accelerate preparation and avoid common challenges experienced by host cities.
