that's the point.
We’re an award-winning travel agency that helps companies turn corporate event travel into a business growth engine. From incentive trips to executive retreats to team events, we design experiences that excite your people – and deliver measurable business results.
Where most agencies act as glorified booking engines and event planners, Awestruck Incentives steps in as your strategic partner in event design, bringing business thinking back to business travel with our unique blend of world-class strategy expertise and travel industry experience.
Founded by a former McKinsey & Company growth strategist and a 16-year luxury travel veteran, we apply a proprietary approach to event travel that customizes every experience to support your business objectives with one simple goal: transform event travel from a cost line item to control into a strategic investment generating real returns.
We begin with your strategic goals, then curate programs that move the needle on the KPIs that matter most. Each experience is thoughtfully designed, flawlessly executed, and measured with the same rigor you’d expect from any high-value investment.
The result? Travel that inspires teams, strengthens culture, and drives real, trackable impact.

Jenene is one of a kind! Undoubtedly, the best travel partner our family and company have experienced. Personally, I’ve been working with Jenene for over a decade. Her commitment to providing exceptional customer service is unrivaled. What’s so unique is that it’s just part of her, she’s as authentic as they come. I’m not surprised her business has grown the way it has, she’s passionate, smart, savvy and knows her industry and loves her customers. When Jenene is involved in planning our corporate reward trips and/or our family vacations I have great peace of mind...and that is rare these days. I cannot thank her enough for the countless times she’s confirmed every fine detail, come to our rescue, fulfilled our crazy requests, and gone WAY above and beyond!! The added value you will receive by working with Jenene is truly priceless!

Jenene and the team were a delight to work with! From our first consult call where our vibe was immediately appreciated and used to recommend specific locations and resorts through when we returned home, I felt relaxed knowing everything was taken care of. Communication was clear and thorough. Processes were easy. Overall 10/10. Not to mention Atelier Playa Mujeres was absolutely stunning and perfectly fit our travel aesthetic.

As Vice President of a successful organization and a lover of travel, I and my company have been on several trips over many years for both business and personal reasons. Jenene and Travel With Awestruck have proven to be the reason our trips are so enjoyable from start to finish. Every detail is taken into consideration. Jenene and her staff really care about those they are working with, whether taking care of a larger group of 200+ people or smaller intimate groups of 4-6 people. The personal touch is why we keep coming back to Travel With Awestruck year after year. Jenene’s knowledge and insight of the places we are traveling to have been invaluable to us. I have and will continue to recommend Travel With Awestruck to any individual or organization who is looking to make travel arrangements. Thank you, Jenene and Staff, for always taking care of me and my colleagues at Ohio State Waterproofing.
