We needed a high class production that would be an attention-grabber and Blank Stage hit the bulls-eye. From the recording to the directing, and to the final video, they were totally professional and extremely helpful. A first class job from a first class organization.”

- Thomas M. Akins, Executive Director, Georgia Tech Division of Professional Practice

“I was blown away with how much preparation that went into my ImprovAstorm. I really felt you and the team understood my business. On the night of the improvAstorm each actor put their best foot forward and really came up with some great concepts, two of which were scripted, rehearsed and cast and put into video. The feedback I have received from my clients and strategic partners regarding the video has been overwhelming. Your talent is immeasurable. It was a great pleasure working with you and your team and the end result is phenomenal. I am looking forward to putting more of the concepts from my improvAstorm into video.”

- Erica Parker, Owner and Operator of Commercial lending Solutions

“So, I can officially say I’ve been “stormed”. Last night was a wonderful event-and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see and hear amazing ideas for the branding and marketing of their business. I had been to an ImprovAstorm before, but seeing my own was truly an amazing experience. I can’t wait for my videos to be made-and everyone was just so unbelievably gracious, nice and truly interested in my business. Aside from the great marketing ideas; the networking experience was unreal. I know having the ideas from last night turned into “viral videos” will be an invaluable marketing tool. The actors i really got my demographic and I can’t wait to see what comes next. Thank you so much to Brent and the team-you guys are awesome!”

- Tom Whitson, Senior Partner of MySuccessAgent

“I just wanted to let you know that your video paid for itself today, all by itself. An owner of a 9-property company in WI with 1,500 assisted living units found the video on YouTUBE. He is in Arizona, and he emailed his home office team and told them to “get on it” and sent them the link to the video. The CEO told us “we saw the video and we thought ‘my god, this is exactly what we are looking for.”

-Elias P. Papasavvas, Founder & CEO of Elderlife Financial Services LLC

Blank Stage Productions has brought our resort to a whole new level of marketing. They took the job but did not treat it as such, they took it personal and made it so.

-Jeff Shortridge, Marketing Director for Black Bear Resort

“As a fan of improv, I enjoy being around Blank Stage. Blank Stage recently involved my business in a remarkable experiment which used improv to demonstrate different aspects of my business. The value in doing this was that I got to see my business from a few different outside perspectives and really got to learn a lot about how other people perceive what I do. Ultimately, through out their skits, I discovered an answer to a question that I’ve had for two years! My video gets attention, it breaks the ice. Blank Stage has an amazingly innovative approach to helping businesses with improv and I’m confident and proud to recommend them”

- Bryan Menendez, Owner and Operator of Crepe Masters

“Brent and Blank Stage Productions thank-you you so much for a part of our very first ACES meeting! It was great and we have heard so many positive comments about it. You and your team did a fantastic job conducting the improv interviewing, making the event come to life!”

“Brent and Blank Stage Productions worked on a budget and tight timeline. He became a coach to those with little experience in front of the camera. He became an inspiration in pulling out all the emotional reasons to choose GrowthANSWERS. And he became my hero when he completed this massive project on time, on budget with a product that connects with our target market.”

- Don Rigby, Founder of GrowthANSWERS, Inc


“We recently participated in The Blank Stage event ImprovAstorm. This was a brilliant business opportunity. Brent and his hilarious cast took us through multiple marketing scenarios that were innovative, funny, fresh and cost effective. The improv format gave us better insight in how to more effectively market our business and reach a larger market than we had previously considered possible. We are delighted with the concepts developed in a short 90 minutes. The best part of the ImprovAstorm format is that it is truly one of the most enjoyable evenings we have spent in a long time. This is Improv customized directly to you and your business. A private session with these marketing gurus is insightful, extremely entertaining and just plain fun.

All together it’s Genius!!!”
-Mark & Patty Wrazen, The Audio/Video Artisans, 404-610-2659

I would recommend him strongly.”
