Founded in 2004 by Karrie Goldberg, The Kagency began as a venue marketing and booking agency for every type of event imaginable from private dinners of 20 to product launches for 2,000. The agency that launched as a trusted resource for event producers and location scouts, quickly grew to include project management, talent representation, event-related media buying, and project consulting.

We manage the event, film, and photo shoot bookings for a diverse portfolio of venues, including retail pop-up locations, photography studios, restaurants, nightclubs, galleries, penthouses, and outdoor spaces – as well as – talent bookings for international DJs, artists, mixologists and other notable industry specialists. With access to over 400+ traditional and non-traditional event spaces across the U.S. and an ever-expanding entertainment roster, The Kagency is a seamless resource and a not-so-secret weapon for the event industry.

We’ve spent the last 20 years supporting exceptional and immersive event experiences with event, festival + trade show producers, caterers, publicists, marketing + advertising executives, brand managers, fundraisers, wedding planners, and social clients looking for top-tier venues, specialty talent, and event production support.

After hosting thousands of events and collaborating with thousands of brands, we know a thing or two about experiential marketing. Our venues, talent and client advocacy will give you the key components to make your event and experience extraordinary.
