Engaging Big AV? Get a free review before you sign.

Big AV quotes are written by the company that sells the gear, the labor and the add-ons. We don't own a warehouse or rent equipment, so our only interest is the right show at a fair price. Send last year's scope, this year's plan or an AV quote, or just get on a call. A producer takes a look and tells you honestly whether we can do it better. If we don't think so, we'll say that too.

production from every angle, a to v

The spectrum of production, one partner.

Most events split the show and the tech between vendors and hope they talk. We run both, so what happens on stage and what makes it happen are never out of sync.

Production Solved

steeped in tradition

The arts & sciences of production.

We're creative problem solvers who came up in live television, where nothing gets a second take. Today that discipline runs every stage, stream and shoot we produce, with 85+ years of combined experience behind it.

We live at the intersection of creative, technology and management. Not a gear house. Not just an AV company. Producers who shape the idea, spec the technology and run the whole show.

No warehouse full of gear to rent. We spec the room, not our inventory.

Embedded with your team. We learn your content and your people before a single cable is placed.

The right mix of partners. In-house AV and outside specialists, chosen for your show, in any location.

The boutique alternative to big AV. The gear is the easy part. We bring the process around it: your vision, your executives, your show, run by a senior team that answers when you call.

One steady hand throughout. The team that plans your show is the team that runs it.

from central park to the hotel ballroom

A historic unveiling,
live to the world.

For Monumental Women we produced the unveiling of the Women's Rights Pioneers Monument on Central Park's Literary Walk, the first statue of real women in the park. Mid-pandemic, it was a socially distanced press event for 150 invited guests, keynoted by Hillary Clinton and carried live by the Today Show.

A team of about 50 ran guest experience, AV and production management, plus a live broadcast from a 40-foot production truck, sent by satellite and pushed to social, including the client's channels, for a global audience. We designed the in-person and virtual look and all graphics, and coordinated with Central Park, the Central Park Conservancy, the Mayor's Office, the Manhattan Borough President's Office and the Secret Service. The client produced the content.

our story · since 2006

Early to every new stage.

We started in 2006 as CityCast Media, helping organizations find their voice on a brand-new medium: podcasting. We came up in live television, where nothing gets a second take, and that discipline has followed us onto every stage since.

When audiences moved online, we helped clients go live to the world. When the room came back, we brought both together. Every time the way people gather has changed, we've helped our clients get there first, without the guesswork.

Today Production Solved runs corporate events, managed AV, live broadcast and brand video from one desk, with 85+ years of combined experience across the team. Same curiosity. Same steady hands.

  1. 2006

    CityCast Media launches to help organizations use a new medium: podcasting.

  2. 2007

    Our video podcast is featured on the iTunes homepage, and we begin helping clients put video to work as each new technology comes online.

  3. Along the way

    Live streaming, virtual events and hybrid shows, from press events in Central Park to global town halls.
