Our Secret To Meeting and Event Success is Service
Exceptional pre-production sales and service is enabling our hospitality AV group — named ‘Best AV Provider’ in Ohio — to bring revenue-generating differentiation to hotels.
At Mills James, we attribute our ongoing success and growth to: SERVICE.
Recently named Best Audiovisual Provider by Ohio Business Magazine, Mills James helps corporations and nonprofits connect with their audiences through relationship building and event objective deep dives. With offices in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Boston, we leverage our team of creative directors, writers, producers, cinematographers, designers, set builders, and streaming engineers to craft inspiring experiences and stories that stand out.
“As the meetings and events business slowly ramps back up, planners are looking for bold new ways to elevate the attendee experience,” said John Watts, Mills James VP of Hospitality. “This is far more than just shifting from portable AV equipment to built-in systems with a few bells and whistles thrown in. It’s going to take a team of experts with broadcast energy and experience in producing live TV for messaging to resonate with attendees during these unprecedented times.”
Watts added, “But long before an event takes place, pre-event conversations between planners and a hotel’s sales and AV teams and pre-visualization screenings of multiple room layouts using 3D renders, animation, and motion graphics will close the deal. It’s in this pre-production sales and service phase that the success or failure of an event is determined.”
Five reasons why Mills James was named “Best” in the business:
“Event planners often think that onsite AV provided in a hotel or convention center is mediocre at best,” said Mike Tyson, Mills James Director of Sales. “My response to this concern is ‘not all AV companies are alike.’ Our clients see the quality we produce, and they come back repeatedly.”
There’s proof of that in Mills James’ excellent retention rate and 95% Net Promoter Score. The production company does much more than just set up event space and sell AV services; they deliver experiences. “That’s the Mills James’ difference,” Tyson added.
