Our focus is on creating striking environments that amplify our clients' brand and facilitate meaningful audience engagement. We take a consultative approach to understand our clients' marketing and sales objectives to create scalable solutions that propel their businesses forward.

We care deeply about our clients, our teammates, and our partners. Every member of our team embodies and leads through our core values:

The Warehouse & Repair Lead plays an important role in ensuring our clients' trade show exhibit properties are organized, maintained, prepared and ready to perform when and where they are needed.

Approximately 70% of this role is focused on warehouse operations and logistics, including coordinating inbound and outbound exhibit properties, maintaining accurate inventory records, preparing exhibits for upcoming shows, and working closely with our Client Services and Production teams to ensure client needs and deadlines are met.

The remaining portion of the role includes hands-on maintenance and repair of exhibit properties, including basic woodworking, laminate repair, crate construction, hardware replacement, assembly and other work required to keep client assets functional and show ready.
