“Kevin, I want to thank you and your team for a very smooth and efficient set up last Saturday.
Bob was on the ball at all times, he knew what he was doing and set up was a breeze. Although I was a bit sceptical with the “process” of putting together and installing the 15′ x 65′ screen, I was actually surprised with the ease of the unorthodox way of setting it up. And Video Village went together in a timely fashion.
What can I say, Angel was Angel. Sound was set and ready to go early. It was nice seeing him again.
Cliff was so pleasant to deal with on site. He kept his electrics busy and everything went up smoothly. Even when the hotel was 2 1/2 hours late with the stage, Cliff kept his guys going and didn’t panic on the late focus. Everything was done at 5:00PM. Right on schedule.
And the gal (can’t remember her name) who put the cameras together by herself and other areas of video was very fast and nice. And I heard from Lisa she was a very good long and short lens camera-person.
And thanks to you for working with us on our budget, and thank you for your help on Saturday on the other set ups around the Convention Center.
Lisa said the client was extremely pleased with everything.
Good job Kevin!”

“Thanks for the kind words Rick. It was a pleasure to work with the Strong crew again. I thought the lighting, stage and appearance of the room were amazing. We’ve heard nothing but positive remarks from our employees. The professionalism of your team certainly puts us at ease–nothing “rattles” those guys. The precision with which they execute their work is commendable.
I really would like to call out Jose for his patience and guidance throughout the set-up, practice and event. I’m glad he was on our team.
Thanks for checking with us and thanks again for the kind words.”

“Let me first say a big “thank you” from your friends at EMG for yet another job very well done. When Strong is on site I know Amy and I always rest a bit easier knowing that professionals are on the case, and this event was no exception.
Again Letty – thanks for a great job!”

“Thank you most sincerely for the great support you and the team gave us for the Miami meeting last weekend. Drago and David did an absolutely first class job and were a pleasure to work with. Jose and the set up crew managed to fight their way into the hotel against all odds (long story) and everything ran like a dream.
Many thanks again Kevin, it was a pleasure to work with you.”
Best Regards,

“As we close another Insight, words cannot describe the “sizzle” you and Strong add to the General Session and the conference in general. Few people involved know of all the work and preparation that goes into this to make it look as that is the way it is always supposed to happen. Snap your fingers and poof – it happens! Jorge (as always) did an outstanding job – he was there when ever we needed him and always with a smile. I really consider both of you as “part of the family.” As I feel about Patsy and Mark, I would not want to do this conference again without you and Jorge.
Thank you for a flawless job. Looking forward to working with again (and again). And thank you for that beautiful card!”

“I have attached an email from Fitz Ward. He was responsible for the Employee Conference. He handles the training for all of SunGard Public Sector. His email mirrors my sentiments exactly. Strong Communications provides peace of mind during an event. We know the event will run smooth, and that your employees will be professional at all times. Over the years we have used several different hardware arrangements. Your team continues to provide excellent service during these new situations. Thank you for always turning our problems into solutions.”
“I just wanted to drop you a note expressing my appreciation and the results of effort put forth by Strong Communication for the employee conference. The opening ceremony for any event often sets the tone of for how the event is received and perceived. Strong Communication came in the Friday before the start of the conference to work with us on how to get the best result using the various mediums on display as part of the opening ceremony, tested various scenarios for quality assurance, and supported us during the opening ceremony to ensure things went well. As you know, our president and one of our esteemed clients spoke to a gallery of about 40-50 people. They achieved high marks in all areas and the ceremony went off without any hitches.
No great work or success comes without the assistance of many people. We were a success based on the contributions of Strong Communication and they should be commended on a job well done. Please share my appreciation and praise with Richard Gibson and his colleagues who ensured our success by their diligence and detail oriented service.”

“I wanted to send you a long overdue “Thank You” for the work that Strong Communications has done here at Valpak’s new Valpak Manufacturing Center. Your work on our 6 conference rooms, digital signage, video distribution, and other items has been outstanding. But the crown jewel here has got to be our Community Room, which includes 2 Barco projectors, sound reinforcement, lighting control, and much more. We get a “wow” when people see and use this system for the first time. As the in house department head responsible for these systems, perhaps the best measure of Strong’s success here is the LACK of assistance or problem calls we get from our end-users. The systems are easy to use and maintain, and of course look and sound great. These systems, coupled with your quick response to any questions or concerns I may have, lead me to recommend Strong whenever I have an occasion to do so.”
Thank you again,
Alan Robson | Director, Network Systems

“University Community Hospital had branched out to five buildings in two countries and needed a videoconferencing system to save on time and money. I’ve been in the A/V business for over 30 years and needed a breath of fresh air after having another mediocre experience with a national vendor. I wanted someone with both design capability and customer service after the sale. I called several long time associates and Strong Communications’ name kept coming up. We went with Strong to install a Polycom videoconferencing system at our facility and couldn’t be happier. Some units were stand alone, while others were retro-fitted into existing auditoriums. All went well and Strong was always one phone call away to assist with any problems. That was two years ago and I call on them with every new project that comes along. If you want great customer service with a company that cares, then Strong is your team.”

“The show was truly a home run! The BMW clients were extremely happy and we received much appreciation and accolades from all of them. I owe a majority of the success of this show to the two of you and the incredible technical crew you put together! Thank you so much for your hard work to make the show a hit. Please pass along my sincere thanks to Rich, Cliff, Angel, Al, Tyler, Barry, Lyle and the rest of the crew behind the scenes and back at the shop. All of them were on top of their games and I appreciate everything they did. I look forward to working with ALL of you on the next one.”

“I cannot say enough good things about SC regarding the Ducks Unlimited 09 National Convention that just took place in Denver. In addition to the leading edge production equipment, the crew was outstanding-great attitudes, experienced, and came through big time when the client hit us with some unexpected last minute requests. Rick Welch and I go back a ways; it was great working with him again. Please thank all the guys for me: Bob (great help during the advance work on the convention and awesome on site), Barry, Llyle, Cliff, Al, and of course Rick, and don’t forget Barbara. I personally look forward to working with this team again in the future.”

This year’s General Assembly was hosted by the United States and its success reflects on our country as a whole. The audiovisual and broadcast services were superb.

I especially appreciate the way you organized a complex web of equipment and subcontractors and still managed to responds to every last minute change.”

“On behalf of all of us from Make-A-Wish, we just wanted to send a very sincere, heartfelt thank you to each and everyone for all of your help and support. The event looked awesome, went off as planned and we certainly accomplished our goal of taking this event to the next level. The promotion/media coverage was tremendous and we had a great patron turnout, especially in with our economic situation. We should have the final numbers in the coming weeks but we clearly would not have been able to be as successful without your generous support. So from all the kids who will be granted wishes due to your contributions, we are all very grateful.”
