About Us

Where We Came From

Meetingwire was founded in 1999. After decades of work in corporate training and marketing, our founders felt that online events, streaming media, workgroup collaboration, and community building were areas where businesses were underserved. Not only underserved in products, solutions, and services offered, but offered very little information about the usefulness of these tools for distributing information and building image and loyalty.

Who We Are

We are communication professionals who have a great depth of experience in all aspects of message and media development for corporate training and marketing programs. We bring to bear not only the extensive experience and capabilities of our staff, but also that of our production partners in beautiful Portland, Oregon - rated by Money Magazine as America’s best place to live. Portland is also home to an extensive community of media communication professionals, allowing easy access to specialty services.

Our Philosophy

All aspects of all our projects are managed and directed by a single team of creative professionals. Some would say this limits our opportunities for growth - we believe that this approach is the only way that we can assure that our clients are receiving consistently high value.

We believe that the internet is just another tool, albeit of immense reach and capability. We believe that our client’s communication objectives should inform and guide every aspect of our offering. Technology, by which some of our competitors define themselves, is only valuable where it supports person-to-person communication and delivers on sponsor’s objectives.

We believe that far too many companies have been advised to depersonalize their communication strategies. Constant attention to the needs and concerns of the audience produces the best results by any measure - costs incurred, resources used, goodwill extended - any measure.

Online communications offer a great opportunity to have substantial impact on an audience, yet demand recognition that your visitor is always one click away from leaving. We believe this is too often ignored; we keep this as a foremost consideration in all of our designs.
