Cara Kleinhaut had a job many of us would consider dreamy. She worked for years as an in-house producer at Sony Music Entertainment, and before that as an assistant tour manager to music icon Mariah Carey. But something in her drove her to break out on her own.
So, in 2001, she launched Caravent—now rebranded as AGENC Experiential and Digital Marketing. And in the 15 years since the agency launched, it has grown from an event production company into an internationally recognized, full-service, integrated agency. AGENC has created award-winning live experiences, and led strategy and dynamic campaigns for some of our favorite brands, including Target, Dior, L’Oreal, Conde Nast Publications, Hearst Publications (Elle) and Pandora.
With offices in New York City and Los Angeles, AGENC works with top brands in the United States and worldwide—creating award-winning live experiences and sharing compelling digital stories. Read on to learn more about how Cara keeps her work fresh, what she hopes to teach her daughters and what makes job candidates stand out.
