Creating Partnerships

MAKING HISTORY WITH MADAM SECRETARY

High Touch  Engagement saw a unique opportunity for a partnership between the National Museum of American Diplomacy and Revelations Entertainment, the production company behind the CBS Television show Madam Secretary.

We led the initiative that resulted in the donation of sets and prop material from the show to the nation’s first-ever museum and educational center dedicated to telling the story of American Diplomacy. The Madam Secretary exhibit will be featured alongside “Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection” featuring more than 200 jeweled pins worn by America’s first “Madam” Secretary.

An Eventful History

A CENTURY LATER – WE REMEMBERED THEM

With no living veterans to lead the commemoration of the “Great War,” Congress established the United States World War One Centennial Commission to honor and observe the 100th anniversary of the conflict and finally build a National World War One Memorial in Washington, DC.

High Touch Engagement led the production of world-class events that increased awareness and supported their efforts. Events included the National Memorial Ceremonial Groundbreaking,  the National Service of Remembrance at Washington National Cathedral, the Secretary of the Navy’s Reception at Fleet Week in New York City, and the  “First Colors” ceremony which raised the American Flag to officially open the National WWI Memorial. We also served throughout the project as advisor to the Commission for protocol and diplomatic engagement.
