The Challenge

Commonwealth Electric, a leading utility services provider for the tradeshow, convention and special event industry, hired Molera Alvarez in 2014 to help strengthen its position in a highly competitive City of Phoenix procurement process to provide event utilities services for the Phoenix Convention Center.

Strategy

Molera Alvarez demonstrated to the Phoenix City Council and new City of Phoenix staff the superior event utilities services Commonwealth Electric had previously provided to the Phoenix Convention Center. We also emphasized how Commonwealth’s level of professional service and licensing requirements helped the company perform at a higher standard than its competition.

Results

Molera Alvarez’s expertise helped Commonwealth Electric win two successive Requests for Proposal (RFP) to provide event utilities services for the Phoenix Convention Center. This gave the company the chance to bring events and trade shows like Super Bowl XLIX Fan Fest, Phoenix Comic Fest, and the NCAA Championship Fan Fest to life by providing reliable electrical services to event organizers and exhibitors.

Here’s what Commonwealth Electric had to say about how Molera Alvarez helped them stand out from the crowd and securely navigate the intimidating political landscape.

“Commonwealth Expo Electric has been a proud partner with Molera Alvarez for over 10 years.
