Prestige AV & Creative Services is a Cincinnati-based audio-visual rental, production, and creative service provider, producing experiences for live, virtual and hybrid events, corporate meetings, private parties, receptions, and fundraising events. I have been with Prestige in a sales management leadership role since 2013, when I was the sales manager. After four years, I was promoted to Director of Business Development in 2017 and then promoted to my current role less than a year later in 2018. In each role, I led a team of passionate sales and marketing professionals, ensuring they ‣ Listen to the customer‣ Put the customers’ needs first‣ Create amazing customer experiences During this time, I:‣ Successfully secured two major convention center contracts in new markets, valued at $10M.‣ Efficiently led teams, raising contract renewals with venues from 50% to 90% in two years.‣ Boosted revenue by $1M annually through the development of new markets.‣ Improved company performance by launching a national marketing campaign.Everything was great, but then COVID-19 happened. Business went from strong to scarce in a matter of weeks. As a result, layoffs occurred, and we were forced to change the way we looked at the event industry. Not knowing if things would ever go back to how it was, we reimagined what Prestige could become with a focus on virtual events, and planning for the eventual return of virtual and live events. It was a rough couple of quarters, but we came out on the other side. I am proud of my role as a guide in this evolution – a guide both for my company and for our clients. I helped Prestige find footing by reimagining the industry and how to approach it through amazing virtual and, eventually, hybrid events. With focus and determination, I was able to help Prestige regain its:‣ Team members‣ Customer Base‣ FocusToday, we are now stronger and more resilient than ever.Let's connect >> bmonahan at PrestigeAV dot com

Owner & Founder ► Motivator & Inspirer ► Writer ► Speaker ► ConnectorAre you living the life you dreamt about when you were younger, the life you want to live, the life of your dreams? If yes, congratulations, and keep at it! And if not, read on.First, know you are not alone. Too many people feel stuck where they are and aren’t sure of the steps to take to get to a place they want to be. And that’s where I can help.I’ve always had a passion for living an authentic life and helping others do the same. My 20+ years in the events industry have provided the opportunity to watch and absorb the words and perspectives of the thousands of speakers I helped support. Those presentations shaped my thinking, my actions, and my motivation. Each helped me realize that I don’t have time to live small, and that I have a drive to do more. I found the courage to act and unleash my passion, and now, I want to help others do the same. Through keynote speeches, articles and books, team training, and one-on-one sessions, I am building a foundation to help you live bigger. While your approach may look different than someone else’s, that’s OK because there is no one size fits all solution. One thing that rings true across the board, however, is that it’s not easy and can be scary. But the result is worth it. If you are ready to act, let’s talk. Let’s also talk if: ‣ You are in the events industry and looking to do more with your life‣ You are in any industry and want to take charge of your life‣ You are looking for a keynote speaker on leadership Please feel free to reach out to me or email me at Brian at BrianMonahan dot me
