AVNation™ started in 2011 as a small community of friends having fun and wanting to share their knowledge and experiences working with audio visual technology and the av industry in general. Since our first show AVWeek™ we’ve grown considerably over the years, we’re still a community where everyone is welcome to share ideas, make new friends, and celebrate the AV industry. Most importantly, we’re still having fun. Tim Albright created AVNation for the purpose of bringing high-quality broadcasts (or netcasts) to the AV community. Tim has envisioned building a network of industry professionals who are passionately engaged in furthering the AV industry through education and knowledge. One of the premiere functions of AVNation is to see industry professional provide first-hand knowledge to other professionals across North America and the World. Many of the hosts and people involved with AVNation are industry leaders in various ways. The first AVNation podcast was the initial episode of AVWeek – “The Pilot,” recorded July 29th, 2011. Ever since that first recording, AVNation has continued to grow its show offerings encompassing all aspects of the AV industry through weekly AVWeek episodes, as well as many additional periodic shows. We continue to have a wide variety of guests including industry professionals who work in or own integration firms and corporate industry leaders.

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
