VALUES

At SOS, our values are divided into 2 sub categories. The first are values that each SOS team member commits to personally pursue and tirelessly develop. The second group of values represent THE VERY PRODUCTS we sell as a business. We believe this secret is how great companies like SOS are rewriting the standard in the event industry. Though our business has changed drastically over the years, the most exciting change has been the development of our new line of services. As soon as we matched our products with the core values we believe in - everything changed. We are excited to introduce how the following core values and programs are shaping our team members, our clients and the entire world for the better.

ENTHUSIASM

Attitude, Clarity, Vision, Purpose, Passion, Desire, Humor, Wit, Excitement, Drive, Eagerness

First and foremost we start with attitude. We have a team of event enthusiasts, not amateurs. Enthusiasm, coupled with a clear vision gives our team an undying purpose and passion for what we do. We have a drive and eagerness to serve others. Our jobs essentially allow us to earn a great living while celebrating life with others... and that's something to be truly enthusiastic about!

COMMUNICATION

Wisdom, Understanding, Listening, Articulation, Tact, Follow Up

It has been said, "90 percent of life's problems come from bad communication". SOS expects each employee to genuinely listen, seek to understand, clearly articulate solutions and tenaciously follow up. In the event world, the "devil's in the details" and our commitment to powerful and thorough communication attributes greatly to our success!

HUMILITY

Awareness, Openness, Service, Transcendence, Feedback, Tolerance, Forgiveness, Modesty

We understand the balance between confidence and humility. Our team members are performers and seasoned industry professionals. Still, we are in a service industry. It takes a pledge to humble service to operate in this industry correctly. We believe real leaders act with modesty and constraint while helping others look great! Humility is awareness, the ability to look within to give and receive feedback. We have grown because we're humble enough to find ways to improve each day while striving for perfection.

INTEGRITY

Responsibility, Commitment, Honesty, Trust, Consistency, Investment, Reliability, Ethical

Ethical business means taking 100% responsibility. Our team chooses to be consistent, reliable and committed even when things get tough or seem unfair. Our team members immediately build trust with others because it's clear that we're honest and ethical in everything we do. We are committed to long-term investments instead of short-term rewards and our spotless integrity is one of our most powerful tools.

EFFICIENCY

Common Sense, Prioritizing, Intelligence, Experience, Urgency, Effectiveness, Wisdom

Unfortunately, common sense isn't very common with some people. With such large goals and aspirations we have no choice but to make it happen and get it done! Our commitment to efficiency, allows us to prioritize our goals and execute our tasks based on experience and wisdom that comes from thousands, yes thousands of past events. We value the world's true currency - TIME - and we are urgent and effective with our time and yours.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Sensitivity to others, Quality, Precision, Cleanliness, Safety, Adherence

We believe attention to detail is vitally important in our industry. We pledge to be sensitive to others and to put quality, precision, cleanliness and safety into our practices. Adherence means that we take the time to know and accept the highest standards of event production.

PROGRESSION

Training, Education, Specialization, Confidence, Growth, Change

SOS has taken an aggressive approach to training and education. We are the only company in the event industry to offer training content and courses for aspiring Event Planners, Disc Jockeys, Event MCs, Lighting Technicians, Audio Engineers, Event Electricians, Videographers and more. High-end technical skills come from the specialty training and education we provide to our progressive team.

LEADERSHIP

Influence, Courage, Talent, Management, Coaching, Insightfulness

As the leadership guru, John C. Maxwell says: "Everything rises or falls on leadership". This is especially true for our youth! For this reason, SOS Entertainment is THE LARGEST school event company in the entire state of California. We offer three exciting programs for cutting edge entertainment and leadership coaching for California's schools.

First, we are the only company to offer an exciting school partnership program for on-campus dances and rallies. As a partner with our schools, we ensure that each dance, rally or lunchtime activity reaches the entire student body and sets a new, exciting standard on campus. No one does on-campus dances like SOS Entertainment.

Second, we have set out to redefine the standard in off-campus events like Proms and Formal Dances. Our "HD Event Program" helps schools book their off-campus events in exclusive and exciting venues with the highest level of production available. These "HD" events are not only incredibly impressive, but we also work directly with the school to make them easily affordable.

We believe genuine leadership comes from teaching values and tackling the real life challenges of being a teen. Only SOS Entertainment offers a full line of innovative leadership initiatives for schools such as: Motivational Assemblies, Leadership Camps, Drug-Free Youth Programs and our new "Global Impact Events".

FAMILY

Love, Celebration, Care, Protection, Flexibility Patience, Faith, Discipline, Confidence, Balance

We call our next core value and belief - Family. We understand that life is a series of important social interactions and special memories from events that occur throughout our lifetime. The most important events in our lives are spent with those that matter most - family and close friends. For this reason, SOS Entertainment will never leave it's roots. Whether it's DJing a small birthday party or supplying one of our famous coordinated entertainment packages for a beautiful wedding - Our planning and production experience allows us to offer the highest level of professional entertainment for even the smallest family function. We have come to cherish the weddings, birthday celebrations and parties we service. Because we treat even our smallest event like a world-class production, our signature Coordinated Entertainment packages are becoming known at THE BEST VALUE for those celebrating that special day. If you need an incredible DJ and host for a perfectly coordinated wedding, SOS has a program and company value just for that!

COMMUNITY

Empathy, Togetherness, Generosity, Relationships, Kindness, Gratitude, Charity

SOS Entertainment offers a two-part community partnership program for nonprofit and city-wide events. Our Partnership Program offers large and automated discounts to any charity or nonprofit organization. In many cases we co-produce these nonprofit events or even sit on the board of these special groups. Additionally, we have created cooperative programs and packages for all types of other large events and festivals. We are proud citizens of the communities and cities we reside in and are determined to generously give back to the same communities that support us. We choose to live by principles such as generosity, gratitude, charity and kindness and have donated over $1,000,000 in cash or event services to nonprofit organizations in the last 5 years. Whether it's a Cancer Walk or a Concert in the Park Series, there is no event too large or small. We are committed to our communities and giving back!

INNOVATION

Creativity, Imagination, Competitiveness, Interest

Our innovation platform was designed to aid other businesses in their pursuit to success. SOS offers three primary programs in our innovation platform for businesses. Some of these same programs have helped our own company win "Business of the Year" several times along with other accolades and awards. These three programs are:

  • AV and Entertainment for Businesses. Because we are not only a Audio Visual company but a company with award winning entertainers, SOS is THE BEST team to take company meetings and gatherings to the next level. We offer a full line of exciting Audio Visual and Entertainment services that help companies produce amazing meetings, conferences and parties.
  • Second, our brand new Innovative Media Program or IMP for short. This offers other companies a streamlined process to creating and disseminating powerful media components to their target audiences. SOS has the latest video equipment, technicians and visionaries to help businesses create educational videos, commercials and other content to keep up with todays social media needs. Take it from us, you need a serious and progressive media campaign to meet your full potential as an organization - and we can execute this for you.
  • Last, companies such as Redbull, Scion and Pepsi all know: EVENTS and SALES go hand and hand. Many of these companies have taken this new form of brand awareness called Event - Based Marketing to a whole new level. This is truly what the consumers are responding to in today's day and age. SOS Entertainment has created some of the most exciting retail and promotional marketing campaigns built around entertainment and events. DJ residencies in hip retails stores, concerts and fashion shows in malls, unveilings for new products, store grand openings - you name it. The bottom line for retail is this: products sell when the client is feeling good and having fun. And fun is our expertise.
