Visual Identity & Theme Development
Centered around the theme of “Bring the Heat,” this dynamic visual identity captured the excitement and determination of the Casey’s team as its managers strive to build upon the company’s recent wins. A mix of custom illustrations and stunning photography added visual variety to a system spanning an array of digital and print formats. The flame logo reflected the intense excitement and energy of the attendees while giving a nod to the freshly baked food that makes Casey’s such a hot brand in the convenience store space.
Stage Design & Production
Unbridled Productions designed a custom stage to ensure C3’s theme of Bring the Heat remained at the center of the action throughout the week. After collaborating with our creative team to craft hand-drawn sketch concepts, Unbridled Productions turned this initial design into a larger-than-life platform boasting towering LED screens and eye-catching red flame pieces. From load-in to tear-down, the Productions team completely transformed the ballroom for General Session, breakouts, and the Awards Ceremony, crafting a one-of-a-kind setting for an equally unique experience.
The Experience
C3 included several experiential activities to engage attendees in new and interesting ways. We invited a live muralist to paint a custom piece depicting Casey’s CARES values, which attendees were then encouraged to fill out with their own personal commitments. The event also featured a road trip art studio, as well as unique printouts from the Casey’s Road Trip video for attendees to take home. Last, but certainly not least, we organized the annual Casey’s Pizza Competition. This thrilling contest saw competitors from each district craft personal pizza masterpieces onstage while attendees cheered from the stands. Regardless of who took home the title, every manager left feeling like a winner.
Video
Shooting and editing a total of 11 custom videos, Unbridled Media brought the Casey’s story to life by shining a spotlight on managers who have made a notable impact in their communities. The team conducted interviews with Casey’s leaders to create 5 “Casey’s Cares” videos, which were presented onstage throughout the conference. Unbridled Media also filmed attendees and activities during C3 to create an exciting recap video to close out the event on a high note. Through these engaging video pieces, we depicted the essence of Casey’s’ core values in a personal and meaningful manner.

Our Welcome Reception Block Party treated attendees to a streetside spectacle in the heart of downtown KC. Featuring classic yard games, country line dancers, a DJ truck, and the iconic Budweiser Clydesdale horses, this outdoor extravaganza also included a guest appearance by Kansas City Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco, adding some extra star power to Casey’s own elite team. To conclude the conference, Casey’s celebrated its people with a semi-formal Awards Ceremony, where employees were recognized and honored for their exceptional performance, leadership, and values.

The Expo
C3’s Expo brought together dozens of supplier partners to showcase their products and services directly to Casey’s managers. Attendees delighted in visiting the booths of their favorite brands to sample products and acquire information from a variety of partner reps. Despite the Expo filling 388,800 square feet within the KC Convention Center’s exhibit hall, Unbridled’s logistical coordination and creative signage made the maze of booths easy to navigate and explore. Our team crafted a memorable experience that offered lively music, free samples, and countless interactive activities for attendees to enjoy. Designed to both educate and entertain, the C3 Expo quickly became a crowd favorite.
Attendee Gifts
Creating custom attendee gifts is about more than handing out knick-knacks featuring a company logo. Our specially crafted gift experiences are incorporated into the event itself, designed to surprise and delight attendees while instilling a sense of communal pride. For this program, Store Managers received colored C3 polos representing their districts, fostering conversation and connection throughout the conference.
