A New Chapter, Built Together

A New Chapter, Built Together
 

Denver, Colorado | February 12, 2026 — Today marks an exciting new chapter for our organization as MC&A, a JTB Americas company, has acquired Imprint Events Group — bringing together two organizations aligned in values, vision, and a shared belief in the power of people-first experiences.
 
This milestone reflects more than a transaction. It represents a partnership built on alignment, trust, and a mutual commitment to thoughtful growth. Together, we are combining global reach with a boutique, creative-led approach - expanding what’s possible while preserving the culture, leadership, and standards that define both organizations.
 
Imprint will continue to operate as a separate company under MC&A Group, with its leadership team remaining firmly in place. Adriane Hodder continues in her role as President, and Nicole Marsh will assume the Chief Operating Officer role, overseeing business operations alongside MC&A leadership with Eduardo Kina as the company's CEO.  During the transition, day-to-day operations remain unchanged, ensuring continuity for clients and partners while opening the door to broader resources, expanded capabilities, and new opportunities for growth.
 
“This partnership is rooted in shared values and long-term vision,” said Eduardo Kina, CEO. “By coming together, we’re strengthening our ability to serve clients with creativity, care, and consistency - while giving our teams the support and global backing to grow and thrive.”
 
Nicole Marsh, COO, added, “This next chapter is about expanding opportunity without losing who we are. Our shared culture, visionary leadership, and commitment to delivering premium, high-touch experiences remain the same. What’s new is the ability to scale thoughtfully, invest further in our people and capabilities, and accelerate the vision we’ve been building toward.”
 
Looking ahead, the combined organization is focused on growth with intention - investing in creative excellence, operational strength, and team development while continuing to deliver customized, experience-driven programs for clients across North America and beyond.
 
Adriane Hodder, President, added, "Together, we’re energized by what’s ahead and confident in the future we’re building - grounded in alignment, strengthened by partnership, and driven by a shared commitment to excellence."
