Blazin’ the Campaign Trail

The 2012 presidential election has kept PDA busy! Working on the campaign trail is always an exciting opportunity for our team. Earlier this year, PDA played a role in the presidential primary race with countless production jobs.

As the election nears, we’ve been traveling all around the East Coast providing production support for the potential candidate’s rallies, speeches and events. Most notably we were given the opportunity to work on the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and with Romney/Ryan on their rallies.

PDA = opportunity event producer.

PDA was hired by Total Events Production in Charlotte to help with the official press kick-off party for the 2012 DNC. The event was held for 10,000 members of the press and their guests at the NC Music Factory. We were hired to design the lighting for three different rooms in the film studio building. PDA provided trussing and a lighting console for the main room, conventional fixtures, lighting programming and operation.

Before the event began, we experienced a torrential downpour that caused major flooding, but the show went on without any technical glitches!

PDA has also been on the road with the Romney campaign. Throughout the month we’ve worked with his camp on gigs for Paul Ryan across the Southeast. Our crew recently traveled to Greenville and Virginia, providing audio, lighting, power distribution, press support and staging for its nationally televised coverage.

Having worked on major political events over the last 20 years, we always strive to produce flawless events and maintain our reputation as South Carolina’s leading political production team.
