Freddy Sampayo

CEO, Marketing for AV

Hi everyone, I'm Freddy, Founder of MarketingForAV.com and Co-founder of DesignLab. I've spent the last 15+ years in the AV industry, from designing award-winning systems to figuring out how to actually get those projects in the door. The technical part? That's what most AV companies do brilliantly. The online visibility part? That's where I see incredible integrators lose projects to competitors with worse systems but better websites. MarketingForAV.com exists because I got tired of watching talented AV professionals struggle to communicate their value online while generic marketing agencies tried to sell them strategies that don't understand RFIs, procurement cycles, or the difference between a corporate boardroom and a university lecture hall. We're not a traditional agency. We come from AV. We've designed systems, quoted projects, and lived through the same sales cycles you face every day. We speak your technical language: audio, video, control, lighting, collaboration, and immersive solutions. We understand your clients: corporate, education, government, hospitality, worship, and residential. And we know what actually moves a project from "we're interested" to "send us the proposal." How we help AV companies across the United States: SEO for AV Integrators → Show up when prospects search for solutions in your market → Optimize your site so decision-makers find you, not your competitors → Build content that ranks and converts - Paid Advertising (PPC) → Target IT directors, facility managers, and procurement teams → Google and LinkedIn campaigns for your specific verticals → Turn ad spend into qualified conversations - Content Marketing → Translate technical capabilities into buyer-friendly language → Case studies and service pages that build trust → Show how you solve real problems, not just product specs - Website Development → Turn your site into a sales asset, not a digital brochure → Clear messaging, strong calls to action, built for conversion → Help visitors understand what you do in under 10 seconds - Lead Generation Systems → Predictable pipeline instead of waiting for referrals → Combine SEO, PPC, and content tailored to your capacity → Designed for how AV projects actually get sold We work with single-location integrators and multi-state service providers who understand that digital presence is no longer optional, but doing it with strategy and clarity still is. If your AV company is ready to turn online visibility into qualified project opportunities, let's connect. 👉 info@marketingforav.com 🌐 marketingforav.com

John Tipling

Sales Manager, Carillion Communications Ltd

Helping clients to understand and select appropriate audio visual solutions since 2001 - working for both specialist audio visual system integrators and also one of the largest independent IT services organisations in Europe. I believe that well delivered technology solutions have a huge part to play in delivering true collaboration. Today's technology solutions genuinely have the potential to fundamentally change the way that we think about work. CTS certified member of AVIXA carrying a number of accreditations that relate to audio visual best practice and the specification of audio visual technologies, control systems and videoconferencing. On a day-to-day basis my role is to work directly with clients and help them to find the right solutions to make faster, more efficient business decisions and reduce the costs associated with unnecessary travel. I'm offended by bad meeting room design and "false economy" design choices that do nothing but cause issues for end users and undermine key investments.
