MARKETING Consulting

“All I can say is…WOW! My wife and I attended Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios and we had a FANTASTIC TIME! We know the evening could have gone either way, but by the grace of Hastings Kinser, it turned into an evening we will never forget! Hastings took care of our every need and made sure to go above and beyond our expectations.


Even when we thought it couldn’t get any better it did - thanks to Hastings! Everything from our arrival, to our seating, to the Green Room hospitality, to the after party…and the list goes on and on.
We will be sure to attend more of your functions and hope that our future hosts can live up to the high bar that Hastings has set!”
- Michael Skotzko, Director, Global Operations, Amgen


“On behalf of the UPS Sponsorships group, I wanted to personally thank all of you for your outstanding efforts over the weekend (and in the months leading up to this past weekend) planning/executing our Conference Championship customer and employee programs.

It almost goes without saying at this point (but I’ll say it anyway!) – your team continues to deliver “best-in-class” programs for our customers and employees, and without your collective efforts, these programs would not be the resounding successes that they currently are from an on-site experience and business opportunity perspective. Again, thank you all for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.”

- Ben Gillespie, Manager, Sponsorships and Events, UPS
