Following the successful purchase of Kennedy DMC by Kaitlyn Dineen, the Austin-based award-winning DMC is taking on a brand new look and feel which includes operating under the new name K.DMC Austin.
Speaking on the re-brand, Kaitlyn shared her ambitions for the company: ‘Kennedy DMC is a place that has allowed me to grow and develop into the planner and person that I am today. When the opportunity presented itself to take over Kennedy DMC, it felt like a natural progression as this company has been a part of my family for over 6 years. Heather Niemeyer and Lindsey Pecora were hugely important in this decision as we needed to link arms and work closely together to refresh the company’s entire scope of services, rebuild our team, and evolve creatively. A new name and style to represent this refresh only seemed fitting, and we are thrilled to share with our clients, partners, and friends! This team will do amazing things and continue to set the standard for events for years to come.’
‘Kennedy DMC has been our Austin DMC since early 2013, and Kaitlyn has been a part of that dream team – playing a key role in the success that we have seen this destination get. We are delighted to have her join the ranks of the other independently owner-managed DMC’s within our network. We are looking forward to being a part of the success that K.DMC Austin will be experiencing over the coming months and years’ said Jeremy Gardner, interim Managing Director of the DMC Network and co-owner of CTC Destination Management.
The new agency, like its predecessor, is headquartered in Austin and continues to partner primarily with local vendors and venues. K.DMC offers a full range of destination management services for corporate events coming into Austin for the full local experience, drawing from a deep well of local expertise and longstanding relationships within the city’s hospitality industry. Focusing on thoughtful, connective human experiences that break the mould of traditional destination-based events, K.DMC’s services are thoroughly infused with creativity and intuition far beyond the “same-old, same-old.” Its offerings include the planning and production of activities and excursions, themed events, spouse/partner programs, transportation and more, all executed with fresh, modern flourishes and a deep respect for connection, inspiration, and growth.
