All work...
and play

Having worked with agencies of all sizes and projects of all scopes, we knew that we wanted to set out and create a marketing company that was, well, different.

We've heard people call us a marketing agency, branding firm, even an event management company. To be honest, they all fit our mold.

We create meaningful campaigns that thrive as a result of our fun, collaborative work environment.
We' re proud of our creative, ambitious team of talent. And, we actually enjoy coming to work every day!

More Client Stories
NiKnack is by far the best association management company I have worked with. In the year that my association has been engaged with the team, they improved our processes, delivered best-in-class events and continues to be flexible with our evolving requirements. All with a great attitude and a relentless focus on execution.
Working with NiKnack the past several years, we have been able to capture the core values of WT Group and with that, provide a new energy and excitement to the company future, while respecting and celebrating our past.
NiKnack Marketing is easily one of the best marketing agencies I have ever worked with in my tenure as an event producer. Recently I worked with their team on 6+ projects in relation to our signature Gala (Discovery Ball) at the American Cancer Society and they were all executed perfectly. They truly brought our vision to life. We are still receiving praise for our “plantable” event invitations that their team conceptualized and produced. The entire team is extremely professional, flexible and most importantly kind.
As a fast-growing and expanding broker, we knew that we had to partner with a marketing agency that could quickly understand our business. NiKnack Marketing not only helped leverage our brand with a logo and tagline refresh, but delivered a value proposition and unique messaging by industry that distinguishes us from the competition. We are delighted by the market recognition and campaign results to date and thrilled we chose NiKnack to lead our marketing efforts.
NiKnack provides me with fresh eyes, brilliant designers, and website help. No matter what the project is, their team sees my vision and together we bring it to life. I truly believe in the power of collaboration and see NiKnack as our right hand team for years to come.
Working with NiKnack was an amazing experience! From the moment we began working together, I was impressed with the time they spent to learn about my industry, my competitors, and the message I was trying to convey through my website.
NiKnack was fantastic to work with. They took on an ever-changing brief and worked with us every step of the way to achieve delivery despite our constant moving goalposts. The NiKnack team provided a great sense of support and you really feel as though they had time for any concerns 24/7. I would recommend the team to anyone.
