Partnership Meeting

I just participated in a really interesting meeting. A company called Richter Scale Productions came in to introduce themselves and talk about creating a partnership with PRA and KCA. The woman who set up the meeting is a new sales person for the company named Lynn. She is a CMP and I recognized her from my Special Events Planning class I took at ASU! I could never forget a woman with so much spunk and personality. She was laid off from her previous employer, but because she has such an extensive network in the industry she was referred to Richter Scale Productions. They are originally based out of Colorado, but they have started an office in Phoenix. Their equipment is always "out of commission" during the winter and so they decided that Phoenix is a good market that needs their specialty services during Colorado's "off-season". Richter Scale Productions, Inc. is a full service event production company offering everything from the development of creative concepts to the seamless execution of comprehensive production services. These services include sound reinforcement and lighting design, mobile hydraulic staging, multi-camera live video production. innovative set design and decor, CAD event drawings, PowerPoint, script writing, and design and installation of permanent sound and lighting systems. They are well-known for their semi-trailers that literally transform into a large stage. It takes only up to 2.5 hours for the trailer to be turned into a full stage.
I just thought it was neat to see these two companies come together and talk about what each of them does and how they could establish an open relationship with each other and with clients in order for them all to benefit. It sounds like both companies are honest and ethical and this could potentially be a very successful relationship. The meeting concluded by talking about upcoming events/programs that the other could attend in order to get an up close look at how the other operates.

  1. Event planning and event production are very much intertwined in one another, do you know how PRA and Richter Scale productions would plan to divide roles and responsibilities? (especially if they are both communicating with the client)... Or do you see this 'partnership' as more of a vendor exclusivity decision by PRA?
