IDEKO: The Power of Integrated Production in a Fragmented Industry
The best experiential moments don’t happen by chance—they’re engineered. At IDEKO, we don’t just specialize in one piece of the puzzle. We own the entire process—from the blank page to the final screw in the stage floor.
Since our founding in 2014, we’ve grown into one of the most versatile and vertically integrated experiential production agencies in the country. What began with permitting has evolved into full-scale fabrication, creative services, production, location scouting, staffing, and a best-in-class in-house print division. In today’s fragmented industry, this model isn’t just efficient—it’s essential.
“You can’t create seamless experiences with siloed teams,” said David Knee, COO of IDEKO. “By building all key services in-house, we don’t lose time, context, or quality. It’s how we consistently pull off the kind of complex, high-impact events others can’t.”
🔧 Fabrication: Turning Concept into Structure
From 30-foot Burberry bears to fully functioning SKIMS storefronts in Rockefeller Center, our fabrication shop is where imagination meets execution. We specialize in scenic builds, mobile installations, pop-ups, and immersive branded environments—and we do it fast.
“We’re not afraid of complexity. We’re obsessed with it,” said Knee. “Because in this industry, details are the difference between Instagram-worthy and forgettable.”
🖨 Printing: Speed, Scale, and Precision
Our in-house print shop allows us to produce everything from wall murals and vinyl wraps to directional signage and floor graphics. What used to take days of coordination with third-party vendors now happens in a single room—with zero creative compromise.
This internal capability has become a differentiator in a world where speed, brand consistency, and flexibility matter more than ever.
🎛 Production: The Machine That Makes It Happen
IDEKO’s production team is the engine behind the curtain, managing technical execution across AV, lighting, staging, site ops, talent management, and logistics. Whether we’re lighting up Times Square or coordinating a Super Bowl weekend activation in Las Vegas, our producers deliver experiences that hit hard and run smooth.
🗂 Permitting: Our Origin Story, Still a Superpower
Permitting isn’t glamorous—but it’s mission-critical. Our roots in this space give us unmatched relationships with local, state, and federal agencies. We’ve permitted everything from public boxing matches in Times Square to helicopter stunts over the Hudson River. If it’s never been done, odds are we can get it greenlit.
“Clients don’t always realize how much goes into permitting—until something gets blocked. We’re usually the reason it doesn’t,” said Knee.
🧠 Creative Services: Imagination Meets Physics
Our creative team isn’t just here to dream—they’re here to deliver. Every design is grounded in the laws of the real world: gravity, engineering, code compliance, and timeline. We create renderings, CADs, content, brand narratives, and full journey mapping—from pitch deck to final pixel.
👥 Staffing & Talent: Built for Precision and Culture
From show callers and site leads to security and brand ambassadors, IDEKO deploys trained, aligned staff who know how to execute under pressure. Everyone on-site knows the stakes—and the standard.
📍 Location Scouting: Finding Spaces, Creating Worlds
Whether it’s placing an aircraft in Times Square or scouting the perfect rooftop in Miami, our team identifies, secures, and transforms locations that elevate the entire experience. We know where to go—and how to get it permitted, fast.
Why It Works
Most agencies subcontract critical services, creating bottlenecks, cost overruns, and creative disconnects. IDEKO took a different path. We built the infrastructure in-house.
That means:
✔ Faster timelines
✔ Tighter creative control
✔ Real-time problem-solving
✔ True accountability
“Our clients trust us to manage everything—and we do. That’s why they come back,” said Knee. “It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing it right, all the way through.”
