WE’RE HIRING!

Don’t get it twisted - this team sits at desks and does a lot of computer work. But we also create event experiences for anywhere from 50 to 2500 people at a time, work with the best vendors and venues in both Austin and Montana, and give our team great benefits along the way (from good insurance, 401k, PTO and team offsite).

We are looking for a new producer to join our team! Ideally with DMC experience, but not a requirement.

Some uniques on how we work: you manage your clients from ideation -> ex*****on. From your creative pitch (with team support), to client and vendor communications, budgeting, and then onsite management (with operation support).... our team is a great place for those left meets right brain folxs who love day-to-day variance and never want to feel like a caged bird.

Fifth Street DMC is entering our 25th year and we hope you share this with anyone who wants to join this creative, chaotic, satisfying, fun business who may be looking for something new.

If interested please drop a line and your CV to mailto:[email protected]

Hallie’s passion for the fast-paced, controlled chaos of event production is unmatched, and we’re thrilled to have her as an event producer on our team! If you know or have worked with her - you’ve experienced her infectious energy and meticulous attention to detail that make every event a FUN and unforgettable experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love that whether she’s attending concerts (most recently Parcels at Red Rocks), or organizing incredible trips around the world with friends, she lives the life she wants: on purpose!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Outside of work you can find her often on instagram stories on trips or attending concerts at some of the best venues, at a pilates class, or enjoying a home cooked meal in her personal oasis: her backyard
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you, Hallie, for your dedication and passion. We are so grateful to have you on our team! 🌟

WHAT’S IN A NAME?… When we set to rebrand in late 2022, it was no small decision. This is our 25th year in business and we’re proud of a long history in Austin AND Montana as the first DMC (Destination Management Co) in each location.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
….That means 20+ years of being known in our city under our previous name.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The exploration of our forever name had us dwelling on location - specifically our ATX HQ on E. 5th Street.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Almost every city has a 5th street - and it’s for the locals to know.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fifth Street is more than just a physical location – it represents the heart of our communities, where stories are shared and connections are made. It’s an opportunity to honor the unique fabric of the cities we call home. It’s an homage to our roots, a celebration of place, and a promise to always look beyond the map to create bespoke experiences that are bursting with curiosity and rooted in local magic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THE ICON: Magic in the smaller details; all comes together to create a larger picture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are hidden elements within this logo that may not be obvious: Two F’s (bottom right and top left, flipped) - together they create 5 “blocks” and a number 5 in the middle white space.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our dedication to the importance of location + place and paying homage to our roots is represented through an aerial view of a street symbol.

Our Story

Recognized for our excellence in the event production and destination management industries, the team at Kennedy Creative Events and Kennedy DMC has built a reputation for being nimble, innovative and vision-driven. We’re the leading and longest-succeeding woman-owned destination management company (DMC) in Austin, and we’re known for producing brilliant experiential events, corporate conferences, product launches, team retreats, executive excursions and more.

Whether building custom installations to transform a venue into Mars for SpaceX or dramatically recreate a cinematic location à la Wes Anderson for HomeAway, our creativity and tenacity are fully recognizable in every partnership we take on. We take pride in our unwavering attention to detail and our ability to anticipate contingencies, coming up with solutions before they're even needed. To hear our clients tell it, we've figured out how to make working with us feel like a dream: create experiences so unforgettable that guests can’t stop talking about them and be such a reliable and impressive partner that clients keep coming back for more.

We've won the "Best Entertainment" and "Best ILEA Team Effort" categories in the 2019 ILEA Texas Star Awards, and in 2018, we took home ILEA Texas Star Awards for "Best Technical" and "Best Corporate Event, $75-150K." In 2017, we were nominated in the "Best Creative/Teambuilding Event" category at the ADMEI Achievement Awards. 2014 heralded a "Best Multi-Day Event For a Corporation or Organization” nomination at the Special Event Gala Awards, and in 2013, founder Natalie Kennedy was named Best Female Entrepreneur at the Stevie Awards.That year, Kennedy was called one of the Best Places to Work in Central Texas by Austin Business Journal -- a title we take seriously to this day.

Headquartered in Austin since 1999, we're a woman-owned small business (WOSB) certified by the Women's Business Enterprise Network Council.
