You betcha!
Here’s some excerpts of a letter from MCA-I member Steve Panayioto, On-Line Productions, in Atlanta.
…I have a success story that really benefited me from my attendance at conferences in times past. It also relates to being an international member of MCA-I. I had a recent out-of-town production experience that married both my local contacts with my national contacts.
A long time local client of my company, On-Line Productions, likes the way we work. I was asked if I could deliver the same level of skills and services for them in DC. But there was a catch. As they would only pay my expenses, could I put a competitive bid together using people local to DC?
Naturally I turned to my MCA-I network for assistance. Nothing new about this, happens all the time. And yes, my clients were very happy with the way things went, again to be expected.
But there was an unexpected bonus that I realized. Because thanks to my networking at previous MCA-I conferences, my first DC hire and I recognized each other from a previous ProTrack Conference! Suddenly, it was like old home week! It made for a familiar work environment, just as if my usual team was in place.
And my clients took note and told me that our relaxed, smooth and professional approach really helped the dynamics for their people!
LUV that MCA-I. See you at conference!
