Live Events Production Review from Stephanie Worthington, CTSM
Working with Meeting Tomorrow has been a consistently excellent experience. Their team brings professionalism, creativity, and reliability to every interaction. From the earliest planning sessions through on-site execution, they demonstrated exceptional organization and clear communication, often anticipating needs before they arose. Their ability to manage complex logistics, collaborate seamlessly across internal and external teams, and maintain a positive, solutions-oriented attitude made them an invaluable partner in producing high-impact, polished events. After such a smooth and successful collaboration, it was a no-brainer to hire them again for future events.

Meeting Tomorrow is always ready when I call. The equipment arrives in a organized plug in and turn on readiness that I need. And when I say that I need 20 more laptops, they make it happen. Five stars! Have used them since 2022.

Our company used Meeting Tomorrow at a recent trade conference in Nashville TN. The service was excellent. Prompt in arrival and breakdown. The quality of the equipment was excellent and the install service team was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We will be using Meeting Tomorrow again for our next conference in Kansas City and beyond - rating 10 of 10.

I can't recommend JSB Video/Jordan highly enough. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with and consistently delivered great end products that exceeded our expectations. Jordan offered thoughtful guidance and creative direction when we needed it, and were just as willing to take our input and run with our vision when we had a clear idea in mind. That balance made the whole process feel collaborative and stress free (especially given our accelerated timeline and public-sector intricacies). I have full confidence in their ability to deliver, and would have zero hesitation working with them again. Thanks again!

I loved working with Jordan and his team. They produced amazing videos for us that was not only able to showcase the level we're operating at and capture the nuance of our client stories. After the shooting, my clients came up to me and said, "it was so easy to work with JSB video." We're going to do more work with JSB I highly recommend!

We had an excellent experience working with Jordan Berns as our videographer at MODEX. From start to finish, Jordan was professional, easy to work with, and truly understood our vision. He captured high-quality footage that perfectly showcased our brand, booth, and team, even in a fast-paced trade show environment.Jordan was proactive, detail-oriented, and flexible on-site, making the entire process seamless for our team. The final videos were delivered promptly and exceeded our expectations in both quality and storytelling.If you’re looking for a videographer who is reliable, creative, and understands how to produce impactful event content, I highly recommend Jordan. We would absolutely work with him again.

Audio production agencies create radio, streaming, and podcast commercials, including scripting, casting, voice-over, recording, mixing, and mastering.
In the United States, audio is now a mass-reach channel, considering 79% of Americans age 12+ listen to online audio monthly, according to Edison Research.
Podcasts have become mainstream, according to research that shows 55% of Americans listen to podcasts monthly, and 40% weekly.
The demand for audio services is growing rapidly.
According to IBISWorld, the United States alone has more than 25,000 audio production studios. It generates roughly $1.8 billion in annual revenue, while the broader professional audio market exceeded $12.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach over $17 billion by 2030.
Globally, the audio recording services market is projected to exceed $4.3 billion, reflecting growing demand for high-quality studio production.
This growth is also driven by the expansion of podcasts, streaming music, video production, branded content, social media marketing, and feature film production.
Podcast ads can drive unusually strong brand lift. Namely, Nielsen reports aided recall of 71% for podcast advertising vs 50% for people not exposed to them, and brand awareness lift of 13 percentage points in podcasts.
The IAB's FY2023 study reports $1.9B in U.S. podcast ad revenue in 2023, projected to exceed $2B in 2024 and reach nearly $2.6B by 2026, which is a strong signal that businesses keep investing in the channel.
The global audio post-production services market was valued at about $9 billion in 2024 and is growing at nearly 6.9% annually, driven largely by the film, advertising, gaming, and music industries.

Simple projects like podcasts or social media audio may be completed within a few days, while larger projects such as feature film soundtracks or music albums can take several months.Â
Large productions such as feature films, documentaries, or television series require more time because they involve extensive sound design, dialogue editing, Foley recording, and multi-channel mixing.Â
