Elevation Exhibits and Events, an award-winning exhibit design and event-planning firm, today announced that it has opened an office at 8117 166th Ave. NE in Redmond.

Elevation’s new office in the greater Seattle area has expanded business development and provides a local presence for its West Coast clients, including Redmond-based Microsoft.

Along with greater global reach that it has developed over the last 18 months, to support client exhibitions around the world, Elevation is also finding that clients desire total solutions for logistics, staging and supporting of other messaging events, near and far.

According to Jim Burke, Elevation founder and principal, “Clients realize that what we’ve been able to do for them to support trade shows overseas or at the far end of a continent has just as much value in their own backyard. Beyond exhibit design and production, our expertise simply helps clients to develop marketing events anywhere that absolutely get their point across.”

Burke continued, “As our market evolves, we are mindful of structured growth and feel that this is the time to extend a local presence for our West Coast clients.”

In earlier news, Elevation’s team made an impression strong enough to win first place/best-of-show and a second place award in competition with the entire industry of its peers at this summer’s TS2 (Total Solutions Marketing) Conference in Boston.

Elevation’s own exhibit booth won best-of-show and second-place was awarded to another booth designed and produced by Elevation for its client AVFX, an audio-visual firm.
