MediaCentric™ has been a pleasure to work with for our subcontract AV labor needs. Their staff is vetted to a higher degree than many other subcontractor firms we have worked with previously, and their back-office team is diligent in making sure that communication and scheduling is handled efficiently. We have been happy with their technicians’ performance. Media-Centric is a breath of fresh air in the labor contracting segment of the AV industry which can at times be difficult to successfully navigate.
