"I thought the Orlando opening was amazing, I think they did a world class job. The event was fantastic, they pulled out all the stops! "
Mark Wahlberg, Wahburgers
"I have used FMS now twice for my large annual program. They make me look the hero, the rock-star! What I like best is that they listen, collaborate, and partner with me. I can be pretty discerning...maybe a little demanding, but we always are able to work together to make the best program possible... and sometimes have a little fun along the way, in an industry that is incredibly stressful and demanding."
Therese Baker, Reynolds & Reynolds
"We had a lot of moving parts and re-directs on vision. Claudia and team kept up with everything. It was also super nice to have Alexandra there, the whole time, to manage the set-up and the entertainment vendors. And Claudia was there too, it really gave me that personal touch and feeling of teamwork. I didn't worry about a thing with them there. And even billing, estimates, and finances were timely too. A great Experience"
Bee Yancey, The Marketing Arm
