Purpose Entertainment

What Purpose Entertainment does

Purpose Entertainment is a purpose-driven creative entertainment agency founded in 2019 by Christina Korp and headquartered in Winter Park, Florida. The company produces space-themed experiential events, content, and advocacy programs for corporate organizations, educational institutions, museums, and advocacy groups. Its service portfolio spans astronaut speaker bookings, video production, large-scale public art installations (including the 6,300 square foot #AimHigher Earthwork portrait in Atlanta and the 1,000 square foot Our Story 100 photo mosaic at Union Station in Washington DC), galas, and educational programming, with flagship initiatives including the Apollo 50th Gala at Kennedy Space Center, the AIM HIGHER Gala at the London Science Museum, the HER Story 100 Women in STEM content platform, and the Earth Day 2025 Sea & Space Celebration at Piccadilly Circus in London. An umbrella organization, Space for a Better World, packages the company's education and advocacy programming for replication in any community through local partnerships with schools, universities, and space grant consortiums.

The business operates as a professional services agency, generating revenue through event production fees, astronaut booking fees, video production contracts, and project management for individual high-profile engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and new business is sourced primarily through email inquiry ([email protected]), earned media coverage, and direct outreach. The company's technology footprint is conventional creative-agency tooling rather than proprietary platforms, and its competitive differentiation rests on founder Christina Korp's 12-year tenure managing former NASA astronauts and the resulting network of relationships with current and former astronauts (Nicole Stott, Charlie Duke, Susan Kilrain, Dr. Sian Proctor) and institutional partners across NASA, the Space Foundation, Smithsonian, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Northrop Grumman, Cisco, Lockheed Martin, and Planet Labs.

Purpose Entertainment's primary customer segments are corporate organizations seeking astronaut-led brand experiences and educational institutions seeking STEM inspiration for students. Secondary segments include advocacy organizations (notably for women's representation in STEM, suffrage centennial, and diversity initiatives) and high-net-worth space enthusiasts purchasing premium experiences such as the Antarctica astronaut adventure. The company is privately held, founder-led, with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity, operating as a boutique agency competing on relationships and creative execution rather than scale.
