Industry News: Silver Anniversary for Industry Pioneer
January / February 2010

It’s called a silver anniversary, but we're going for the gold.  25 years is a huge milestone in the life cycle of any person, family, or business especially in this industry.  Mark Sonder has achieved this milestone.  The company, which started in New York City in 1985 as a sole proprietor, is 25 years young this year.

Mark Sonder Productions is the first agency to receive a testimonial from recording artist Eddie Money (2 Tickets to Paradise): “Mark Sonder Productions is the industry expert.  They are great to work with because they know all the ins and outs of the business.”

Over this past quarter of a century, there have been many accomplishments.

• Most Headline Entertainers (12) Produced for a Corporate or Association Event (New York, NY). Also holds the 2nd place at 5 headliners (Orlando, FL).
  
• Winner of the inaugural Super Six Award for Best Special Event with a budget under $100,000 for his Swing Into June Jam with the headliner Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Fresno, CA)
  
• Is, or has been, the official entertainment and/or production house for: The Washington DC Convention Center, The Newseum (Washington DC) and The TimesCenter (New York, NY)

From working with the late Frank Sinatra to Tony Bennett, from Cher to Blondie, from the shows Gypsy and Sugar Babies on Broadway to the National Ballet of Marseille and Radio City Music Hall Christmas Show orchestras to being on tour with the late Nelson Riddle with Linda Ronstadt Sonder has done it all. This is why Successful Meetings and Meeting News Magazines proclaimed Sonder a Meeting Industry Guru.

“We look forward to the next quarter of a century as this new decade commences,” remarks Sonder. MSP is the award winning national leader in designing event marketing solutions through headline entertainment and production services for facilities, casinos, concerts, corporations and associations.
