Bravo Productions Adds to Family With Three Regional Offices: Award-winning Event Firm Creates a Stronger Presence in the Pacific Northwest, Las Vegas and the Rocky Mountains, with Midwest and East Coast Operations to Follow.

Headquarterd in Southern California, Bravo Productions, an award-winning event production company has established regional offices in the Pacific Northwest, Las Vegas and the Rocky Mountains.

LONG BEACH, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2004 -- Bravo Productions, an award-winning, full-service event planning and production company has added to its operation by opening regional offices in the Pacific Northwest, Las Vegas and the Rocky Mountains. Bravo Productions is known for staging corporate functions nationwide to support clients strategic media and marketing campaigns.

Bravo Productions is headquarterd in Southern California, and this expansion represents a natural outgrowth to provide the same high quality and services in event production, as well as focus on the demand for specific services in specific West Coast destinations.

The Pacific Northwest operation will serve the greater Seattle/Puget Sound, Vancouver, British Columbia and Portland, Oregon areas. In addition to working with corporate and association markets, this location also will handle private parties, weddings, charity events and social functions. "Each year, we're receiving more and more calls for our services in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest," said Thom Neighbors, partner of Bravo Productions. "In addition to staging corporate functions and private parties, we have government contracts that can be better fulfilled and expanded by taking a more prominent local presence."

Devi Watson, who has worked in state government, and has served as a freelance event and party planner, will oversee this operation. "Devi is just a dynamo and perfect for this position. She's able to quickly put out a fire situation like a forest ranger; has organizational skills like a human resource manager, and has a sense of flair for detail, textures and color like a diva of style," said Neighbors.

Las Vegas is one of the world's most attractive destinations, and Bravo Productions has worked extensively in the city -- primarily with a client who participates in the annual Comdex trade show. The Las Vegas operation will target more conventions, trade shows and corporate functions. In 2003, Las Vegas played host to 24,463 conventions and the economic impact was estimated at $6.5 billion. "The potential in Vegas is obviously huge," said Neighbors. Bob Estrin, a 25-year industry veteran and specialist in audio visual, lighting and technical support, will serve as the company's representative for this market.

The Rocky Mountain office represents a distinct departure. Conveniently situated between Albuquerque and Taos, New Mexico to the south and Colorado Springs and Denver to the north, this office will focus on smaller corporate and association groups who are interested in more outdoor recreational activities, weekend retreats, sightseeing tours and unique incentive meetings. This office will also target regional and local fairs and festivals. Where the plains and mountains meet, the area is filled with 1100 years of history, culture, ancient society, art, Old West towns, the Santa Fe Trail, and the true spirit of the Southwest. "A neighboring city such as Taos, known for its artists colony and home to A-list Hollywood celebrities, is also one of the area's numerous attractions," said Neighbors. Patty Kinder, who served for four years as event associate and office manager at Bravo Productions' Southern California office, has relocated and will oversee this operation.

"The expansion program has been a 2-year endeavor, but a labor of love," said Greg Jenkins, partner of Bravo Productions. "While our company will continue to stage events across the United States, establishing a presence in cities at are only a 45-minute to 2-hour flight from our headquarters is just ideal and smart business." Plans are underway to establish an office in the midwest and East Coast by year-end or early 2005.
