American Cancer Society

Each year, the American Cancer Society hosts one of Chicago’s premier galas, The Discovery Ball, which raises millions of dollars to impact the lives of those affected by cancer. NiKnack Marketing was thrilled not only to help tell an inspirational story through branding the event, but most importantly to partner with an organization whose mission is to free the world from cancer.

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.
