What we do
Different moments call for different answers. Here's where we can help.
Leadership retreats, executive offsites and gatherings designed around what needs to happen in the room, not simply what needs to appear on the agenda.
Important conversations deserve rooms that support them. We think about acoustics, privacy, seating, pacing and service, so you can concentrate on the people at the table.
For customers, partners, executives and guests who have seen a lot already. Access is only the beginning. The experience still has to earn their attention.
Formula 1, Indy 500 and NBA All-Star. The weekends when logistics, access, hospitality and expectations all have to work together.
Groundbreakings, openings, anniversaries and moments that need to mean something after the ribbon is cut.
The destination is only the start. The experience is what happens once everyone gets there.
Selected work
In fourteen years, we've produced hundreds of experiences, from private hospitality to some of the world's biggest sporting weekends.
Formula 1 · Austin
VVIP hospitality inside the Paddock Club, a private dinner with a live graffiti artist, side-stage access for Billy Joel and a VIP afterparty with The Chainsmokers. The work was making it all feel like one experience.
NBA All-Star
A rooftop club created from scratch for approximately 1,000 sponsors and partners during one of the most visible weekends in professional sports.
Hyosung
A brand launch for 200 global guests. Attendance exceeded the original projection, and we were asked back before the evening was over.
Founder, Clandestine Events + Experiences
The judgment behind the work
How guests arrive, where they sit, what they hear and when dinner starts all shape the experience. The best experiences feel effortless because somebody made those decisions before the first guest walked through the door.
Kelley founded Clandestine Events + Experiences and The Little Black Book. Before Clandestine, she built marketing operations practices at Walmart and Whole Foods, reporting to the CMO at both companies.
After more than three decades in marketing, hospitality and experiential, she pays attention to how a room behaves, what guests need and which details deserve attention. That judgment shapes the work our team does.
You're paying us to know what belongs.
