Visual Identity & Theme Development
Colorful and dynamic, this visual identity captures the excitement and determination of the Casey’s team as its managers take the next steps to sustain their momentum and Bring the Heat. Custom illustrations and stunning photography combine to create content that captivates while also translating well to a variety of digital and print formats. The logo, in the shape of a flame, represents the excitement and energy of the attendees while also giving nod to the continued success built from last year’s event.
Stage Design & Production
Unbridled Productions designed a custom stage to go along with C3’s theme of Bring the Heat. Through collaboration with the creative team, the design began as hand-drawn sketches, depicting an event stage accented with energetic flames. This initial design evolved into a reality: an incredible stage with larger-than-life LED screens framed by vibrant red flame pieces. From load-in to tear-down, the Production team completely transformed the ballrooms for general session, breakouts, and the Awards Ceremony – crafting a unique Bring the Heat setting from the ground up.
The Experience
C3 inspired connection, not only through many exciting events, but also intentional experiences that motivated attendees to engage. There was a live muralist who painted a custom-made piece encompassing Casey’s CARES values; attendees were encouraged to participate by adding their own personal commitments. C3 featured a road trip art studio, as well as unique print-outs from the Casey’s Road Trip video, which attendees were able to take home. Last, but certainly not least: the Casey’s Pizza Competition! This lively occasion was full of district pride and energy as competitors created their pizza masterpieces onstage, cheered on by their district. These experiences served as thoughtful touches to create an even deeper sense of connection throughout C3.
Video
Shooting and editing a total of 11 custom videos, Unbridled Media brought the Casey’s story to life. The team thoughtfully conducted interviews with Casey’s leaders to create 5 “Casey’s Cares” videos which were presented onstage at C3. They also filmed unique on-site footage to create an overnight recap video, inspiring attendees and highlighting their experiences together. Through these tailored video pieces, Unbridled Media captured the values of the company and accentuated them in a personal and meaningful way.

Evening Events
How exactly does one up-scale a Welcome Reception Block Party? It has to be more than your average hamburgers, hot dogs and a Coleman canopy. With classic yard games and country line dancers, a DJ truck, Clydesdale horse, and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Running Back—Isaiah Pacheco—this block party was memorable and far from ordinary. To conclude the conference, Casey’s celebrated its people with a semi-formal awards ceremony, where they recognized and honored their employees’ performance, leadership, and values.

The Expo
C3’s Expo brought together Casey’s incredible partners to showcase their businesses. Attendees delighted in visiting the tables of their favorite brands; from snacks and drinks to tobacco and liquor, there was no shortage of variety! This event served to both educate and entertain, as people discovered the many different services and new products. With the help of Unbridled’s logistics and creative signage, the maze of booths was seamless to navigate and explore. Our team crafted quite the experience with music, free samples, and interactive activities. The C3 Expo quickly became a crowd favorite.
Attendee Gifts
Custom-branded attendee gifts aren’t just about giving away free knick-knacks with the company logo on it. Rather, these branded giveaways help mobilize a sense of company pride and encourage camaraderie and belonging. For this particular program, store managers showed their pride by wearing a branded, specially-colored polo for their district, uniting and fostering connection throughout the conference.
