Make It Happen Management: Where Vision Becomes Experience
Led by Chief Experience Officer David Landgraf, Make It Happen Management is a New York–based strategic events firm crafting immersive, branded experiences for both corporate and private clients. Landgraf brings over two decades of in‑house experience—from Barclays to Blackstone and Goldman Sachs—into the founding of his own agency in 2018. It’s a name that reflects the firm’s ethos: bold, intentional, seamless impact.
Clients Who Trust Their Story to M.I.H.M.
Though client names aren’t broadly advertised, public and industry listings reveal work with Fortune 100 firms including Blackstone, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, and Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. The team is also known for high‑level corporate retreats, investor summits, and destination events that require both strategic narrative and logistical finesse. Their reputation among these tightly networked sectors speaks to the trust they command.
What Makes Them Unmistakable: Strategic Storytelling in Action
Make It Happen Management is less about decor, more about purpose. They begin by asking: “What makes you different?” That question shapes every activation—from content and branding to immersive installations. As one standout example, they produced a Yayoi Kusama–inspired milestone birthday in New York, with interactive lightbox installations, curated menus from top local caterers, and designs rooted in both play and precision.
Events That Feel Both Grand and Personal
Their events read like experiences you step into. Drawing on performance design, media integration, and audience insight, they build moments that surprise—and resonate. Whether it’s optimized lighting cues, branded storytelling activation, or entertainment that cuts through formality, every sensory detail is orchestrated to feel intentional. Guests leave feeling seen, not staged.
The Invisible Design That Makes It All Flow
What most guests never see is the infrastructure that holds it together: venue partnerships, speaker logistics, AV, talent booking, travel coordination—all threaded with a promise: “Make It Happen or Make It Right.” Their event staff becomes extension of the host—anticipating needs, resolving challenges before they surface, and allowing clients to show up fully in the moment.
Positioned for Innovation, Rooted in Precision
Industry insiders recognize Make It Happen Management for melding emerging technology—like AI and immersive media—with time-tested event choreography. David Landgraf’s broad résumé and strategic instincts earned him recognition as one of BizBash’s 2025 Industry Innovators, highlighting how vision and execution can operate in unison.
