Ribbon Cutting: Intergetik Marketing Solutions Is Officially Open for Business in Kansas City

Join us as we celebrate the official Kansas City ribbon cutting for Intergetik Marketing Solutions, a full-service digital marketing agency that has been serving KC businesses for years and has now expanded to include a dedicated home in North Kansas City.  

Intergetik was built over 20 years ago on a straightforward belief: small and mid-sized businesses deserve a true marketing partner, not just another vendor. One that shows up, tells the truth, and stays as invested in their growth as they are. From web development and search visibility to digital advertising and marketing systems that actually produce results, Intergetik brings the kind of focused, relationship-driven approach that KC businesses have been looking for.

This is a celebration, and we would love for you to be part of it. Come meet the team, enjoy breakfast and refreshments, and learn more about what Intergetik is building here in Kansas City.

Location - IWerx - 1520 Clay St, North Kansas City, MO 64116

Date and Time - Tuesday Sep 1, 2026 - 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Coffee Connect: Intergetik Marketing Solutions – Your Business Exists Online. The Question Is Whether Anyone Can Find It.

Join us for our next NKCBC Coffee Connect as we welcome Rick Brewer, Owner, and Michael Robinson, Director of Sales and Marketing, from Intergetik Marketing Solutions, a full-service digital marketing agency serving businesses across the Kansas City metro.

The reality for most small businesses is that their online presence is working against them without them even knowing it. Customers are searching, competitors are showing up, and too many good companies are invisible in the places that matter most. Rick founded Intergetik over 20 years ago in St. Louis to change that, building the agency around three core disciplines: web development, digital advertising, and search visibility. The Kansas City expansion was a natural next step for a team that had already been serving KC businesses for years and wanted to put real roots down in a market that values the way Intergetik already works.

What sets Intergetik apart is the approach. Clients don't get handed off to a system. They get a team that sits alongside them, learns their business, and stays as invested in their growth as they are. That partnership shows up in websites that convert, search presence that drives the right traffic, and marketing systems that keep working even when you are focused on running your business.

This is a conversation about what it takes to compete online, why the right partner makes all the difference, and how your digital presence can become one of your most powerful tools for growth. https://intergetik.com/

Networking: 7:45 AM
Program Begins: 8:00 AM

We look forward to seeing you there!

Join the North Kansas City Business Council and Northland CAPS (Center for Advanced Professional Studies) for a special Coffee Connect on Wednesday, September 16 at Life Unlimited.

This isn't just another networking event. By showing up, you're helping students build the confidence and real-world skills they'll carry into their future careers.

Northland CAPS connects high school students with authentic, profession-based learning experiences that help prepare them for college, careers, and life beyond the classroom. An important part of that preparation is learning something that can't always be taught from a textbook: how to walk into a room, introduce yourself, start a conversation, ask thoughtful questions, and build a professional connection.

That's where our business community comes in.

During this special Coffee Connect, CAPS students will have the opportunity to put those skills into practice by networking directly with local business and community professionals. Simply by attending, having conversations, asking questions, and sharing a little about your own career journey, you're giving students valuable real-world experience.

You'll also have an opportunity to learn more about Northland CAPS, its growing programs and new Pleasant Valley location, and the many ways local businesses can connect with and support the next generation of professionals.

Two Opportunities to Participate

Morning Session: 7:45–9:00 a.m.
Afternoon Session: 12:00–2:30 p.m.

Attend whichever session works best for your schedule—or join us for both.

Whether you're a business owner, professional, educator, or community leader, you have experience worth sharing. Come make a few new connections of your own while helping a student learn how to make theirs.

Location: Life Unlimited, North Kansas City

There's no presentation required and no special preparation needed. Just show up, start a conversation, and help give these students the kind of real-world networking experience that can make a lasting difference.

From AI Potential to Measurable Value: Effective Strategies for Integrating AI into Business Workflows

AI is evolving quickly, leaving many business leaders with more questions than answers. Which tools are worth the investment? Where can AI make a meaningful difference? How do you move beyond experimentation without wasting time, creating unnecessary risk, or adding yet another disconnected tool to your workflow?

Join the North Kansas City Business Council for Ideas on Tap, featuring Jason Crowley, President and General Manager of INDIGEX. Jason will help business leaders look beyond the hype and consider practical ways to use AI to solve real problems, increase capacity, and create measurable value.

About the Presentation

AI has captured the attention of business leaders, but separating genuine opportunity from hype can be a challenge. This Ideas on Tap session explores how organizations are successfully integrating AI into business processes to improve efficiency, enhance decision making, and increase capacity. Through real-world examples and practical lessons learned, we'll discuss where AI drives measurable results, where it falls short, and how leaders can approach adoption strategically. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to move from curiosity and experimentation to tangible business outcomes.

About Jason Crowley and INDIGEX

Jason Crowley serves as President and General Manager of INDIGEX, a Kansas City-based technology management company that helps small and midsized businesses use technology to increase productivity, control costs, and support business growth.

Join us for a morning of coffee, connection, and innovation as Coffee Connect heads to Vertical Aspect on Wednesday, October 28!

During this Coffee Connect, we’ll tour Vertical Aspect’s North Kansas City offices and get a behind-the-scenes look at how drone technology is changing the way construction sites and other projects are mapped and monitored.

One of the highlights of the morning will be a live virtual drone flight demonstration featuring one of Vertical Aspect’s deployed “drone-in-a-box” systems. We’ll see how an automated drone can be remotely deployed to capture construction-site data and learn how that information can help teams track progress, improve efficiency, and make more informed decisions.

You don’t have to work in construction or technology to enjoy this one. It’s an opportunity to see innovation happening right here in North Kansas City while meeting local business owners, professionals, and community leaders.
