What We Do To Help Our Community
Corporate Responsibility: We’re Doing Our Part
Our team is built on the foundation of Ron Rausch, our President and CEO. Ron is the father to seven children — and our staff adds another couple dozen kiddos to that. With the company being built on Ron’s “family first” attitude, we look out for each other at work and at home.
Since Ron launched his company in the early 1990s, Wired Production Group has had hundreds of employees – from part-time and full-time positions to contractual employees – of all races, genders, religions, ages, and personal backgrounds. Our core staff is built of experienced event and video production professionals who work with clients of all types, including schools, non-profits, political parties, corporate conferences, and more.
We believe all individuals, clients, videos, and events deserve to succeed. It’s our job to stay focused and produce the best videos and events possible.
Wired Goes Green
Whether we’re running a generator to power a small stage setup at a concert or taking our semis across the United States on tour, the total energy consumption to produce events is high. It’s up to AV professionals like us to make the small changes we can to reduce our industry’s impact on the environment. In the past few years, we have made changes to help reduce our carbon footprint and we will continue to make changes to keep our Earth healthy and happy.
