Elevation Exhibits & Events Announces Name Change, Wins Two Best-of-show Awards at TS2

7/22/2010 - Elevation Exhibits, an award-winning exhibit design firm, today announced that the company has changed its name to Elevation Exhibits & Events (EE&E) and is opening an office in the greater Seattle area. The company also announced first-place and second-place wins for its booth designs at the TS2 Conference in Boston last week.

The company name change reflects expanded business development and changing trends in the marketplace. Along with the greater global reach that it has developed over the last 18 months to support client exhibitions around the world, EE&E is also finding that clients desire total solutions for logistics, staging and support of other messaging events near and far.

According to Jim Burke, EE&E founder and principal, “Clients realize that what we’ve been able to do for them to support trade shows overseas or at the far end of a continent has just as much value in their own backyard. Beyond exhibit design and production, our expertise simply helps clients to develop marketing events anywhere that absolutely get their point across.”

Along with expanded business and the company name change, growth has also led EE&E to open an office in Seattle, WA. “As our market evolves, we are mindful of structured growth and feel that this is the time to extend a local presence for our West Coast clients,” Burke said.

EE&E’s own booth won best-of-show last week in Boston at the TS2 (Total Solutions Marketing) Conference, a major venue for exhibit and event professionals. Second-place firm. Since the TS2 event happened on home turf, EE&E played on Boston’s “Red Sox Nation” theme for its own booth design. Their “Elevation Nation” exhibit was built around major league vision with a JumboTron wall, sporting memorabilia, and staff dressed in baseball jerseys. With baseball cards printed up as business cards, EE&E caps and trophy pictures of client booths designed and built over the years, the company made an impression strong enough to win best-of-show in competition with the entire industry of its peers.

Also at the TS2 Conference, EE&E moderated a discussion panel that explored the benefits of using social media and other new technologies to improve client RFP processes. EE&E president Ken Karns, and creative director David Silva described the company’s experience leveraging social media to streamline marketing efforts and help advance the RFP experience for client and vendor.
