What you get as a headliner sponsor

As a Headliner Sponsor, you’re not just listed—you’re celebrated. This is our premier sponsorship level, offering the highest visibility, exclusive perks, and meaningful alignment with Kansas City’s most anticipated cultural event. Below is a full breakdown of the benefits included with your support.

Your logo will be featured front and center on both the event landing page and the official Creative City KC website, maximizing visibility with every ticket buyer and visitor.

From printed flyers to digital banners and stage signage, your logo leads the lineup, no small-print placements here.

Your brand will be explicitly acknowledged in press releases distributed to local and regional media, giving you exposure in editorial mentions.

You’ll receive direct shoutouts by name during both the Q&A session and the live performance—giving your brand the spotlight in front of a live, attentive crowd.

Treat your team, clients, or special guests to both the Q&A and performance events with a generous bundle of complimentary tickets.

We’ll create and publish a dedicated social media post that tells your brand’s story and celebrates your support, shared with our followers across platforms.

You’ll be included in sponsor recognition content across Creative City KC’s social channels following the events, keeping your brand top-of-mind even after the music stops.

You’ll be featured in the official event program—either printed or digital—with space for a message, quote, or short description of your business.
