Kocsis + Caster Maintenance – Trade Show Booth Design & Video Production
The Job
Our task was to design a remarkable trade show booth with accompanying swag & visuals that would resonate not only during this event, but for future conferences as well. The BatesMeron team rose to the challenge, leveraging our creative prowess to design a truly distinctive and captivating concept.

We started with a discovery session to get down to the nitty-gritty of the clients’ wants and needs.
The men of steel made it clear they wanted an attention-grabbing booth that was a seamless blend of Kocsis & Caster Maintenance’s strengths. They needed a visually stunning display to symbolize their shared vision and combined expertise, while making attendees feel impressed and at ease.

“Thank you all again for the hard work on this trade show, it was fantastic. Our team said this was the best trade show they’ve ever been a part of. Caster Maintenance has already closed some new business from it, and Kocsis has a handful of nice opportunities we’re working on. I’m looking forward to working together on many more projects in the future.”
