CEDAR RAPIDS, IA — After a 15-year partnership, Rausch Productions, Inc. and 16th Avenue Music are merging to form Wired Production Group.
More details from Wired Production Group (www.rauschproductions.com and www.16thavenuemusic.com):
From corporate conferences to large music festivals to LED technology and everything in-between, the combined inventory and capabilities of the two companies offer local clients full-service options like never before, making it the premiere event provider in Iowa.
“Both Rausch Productions and 16th Avenue Music are known for their event experiences, so combining the two to create the Midwest’s top one-stop-shop production management group just made sense,” said CEO / President of Wired Production Group Ron Rausch. “We’re thrilled about this development and the expanded services we can offer our clients.”
The teams will be housed in two facilities, totaling 30,000-square-feet of warehouse space, and eventually combine in the Rausch Productions office and warehouse after further expansions and remodels. Plans for hiring additional staff members are also slated for the coming year.
“Having collaborated together, we knew the two companies were a great fit,” said Nate Hines with 16th Avenue Music. “I’m eager to see all the extremely creative and large-scale projects we can accomplish together – the options are truly endless.”
Services include concert and festival staging; large-venue lighting and sound; video production; LED technology in mobile screens; customized set design; and event management for corporate events, conferences and trade shows. Among the company’s high-profile clientele is ACT, Iowa State University, The University of Iowa, Rockwell Collins and Transamerica.
