What Drives US...
First off, let me apologize wildly for this being the first blog post in almost 4 months - where in the heck has 2022 gone!? It seems like a blur up to this point. Creating amazing event after event and adding more and more people to the Stratum family has made this year more amazing than I could have ever imagined.
Fulfilling is an understatement to the progress our team is making and the clients we have been creating for.
While I am thankful for what 2022 has provided for our team I want to take a deeper dive into a topic that I have honestly done a sub par job in sharing - I want to give a behind the curtain peek into the heart and soul of Stratum and what keeps us going day after day, night after night, event after event - the thing that drives us to keep creating and producing events that make an impact.
Let me also be completely honest is saying that this might not be the answer you would assume it is. No we aren't in this space for the awesome gear, to stand next to rockstars, and travel the world. Those are all certainly "benefits" of the job and I do love a good nerd out session over a new lighting console, speaker that is changing the game, or light that packs more punch than a Sasquatch.
The real driving force behind what we do isn't this...
or this...
but it is this...
and this....
and this....
and this...
Don't get me wrong, when we are facing the stage mixing audio, busking lights, directing video, managing a stage or whatever else we might be doing is incredibly important and we are very good at what we do - but what we find the most joy and purpose out of is when we look up for a second from the console and turn around to face the crowd and see that 14 year old boy with his dad attending his first concert.
The couple celebrating their anniversary lost in love as their favorite band plays the song they had their first dance to,
The lost person wandering into a church for the first time to have an intimate encounter with their creator.
The group of friends on the barricade at a rock concert smiling ear to ear and singing like there is no tomorrow.
That is why we do what we do - we are moment makers, event creators, and I promise you until the day I die that we will be in the business of creating events and experiences that immerse people in experiences that allow them to leave their problems at the door, change their lives, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
If you're ready to get started creating give our team a call at 402-313-1864 or hit us with an email to hello@stratumpro.com We would be honored to create an experience you'll never create.
