People want to share their ideas and messages in their classrooms, boardrooms and churches, and in this modern age, few avenues are as valuable to sharing those ideas as quality audio and visual. When people want to be heard and seen, whether it’s in a small meeting room or a large auditorium, they trust the professionals at Audio-Video Group to make the magic happen.
As the company grows, it continues to work with St. John Properties. “St. John helped us design the layout of our offices and meeting spaces, coupled with warehouse areas that will assist in our information and product flow,” Johnson said. “When we expanded a few years ago, they gave insight on combining our existing space, including colors and finishes, so both parts blended together cohesively.” While Audio-Video Group works behind the scenes to give presenters peace of mind, St. John Properties works even further behind the scenes to guarantee that those running the show can focus on the tasks at hand.

Almost 20 years ago, Audio-Video Group formed to help people spread their ideas. Combining dedication with expertise in tech- nology, the team handles sound and video for a variety of productions ranging from basic to complex. They design, install and service the entire event or venue. Eric Johnson, founder and president of Audio-Video Group, described the company as “a one-stop shop for event and entertain- ment A/V rentals. We have an extensive inventory of loudspeakers, projectors, video distribution, screens, lighting, staging and other items needed to plan events of all sizes.” The business specializes in a variety of events — corporate and fundraising opportunities, live streaming video events, concerts, ceremonies, banquets and church productions, to name a few. For each of these events, Audio-Video Group provides A/V equipment and expert technicians. Johnson said the company’s reach expands beyond rentals. “Audio-Video Group is also a full service A/V integration company that specializes in the design, installation and maintenance of sound reinforcement; video projection, surveil- lance, recording and streaming; and
theatrical lighting systems in many houses of worship and commercial venues.” Even though technology continues to improve in quality while shrinking in size, some audio-video equipment is still large and difficult to store. Unite this spatial requirement with Audio-Video’s additional need for meeting rooms, office spaces and parking for service vans and clients, and finding a location in Frederick, Maryland, could prove challenging. Thankfully, Audio- Video Group and St. John Properties have worked together for years, and the two busi- nesses collaborate well; St. John handles all the location and building worries so Audio- Video can continue its work with ease. “We evaluated a number of spaces and companies when we were first looking for a location for our headquarters,” Johnson said. “The choice really came down to the [company] being easy to work with, notice- ably client-focused and the obligatory budget-conscious mindset — since at that point, the company was somewhat young. Now, almost two decades later, we continue to have an open line of communication with all the parties at St. John — even friendly relationships with most.”
