Clark

What Clark does

Clark, legally Clark Productions, Inc., is a U.S.-based audio, video, and lighting (AVL) systems design and integration firm headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, founded in 1996. The company delivers end-to-end AVL engineering across a five-phase project methodology (Discovery/Consultation, Design, Engineering, Build/Integration, and Commissioning/Handoff), covering acoustics, lighting design and programming, video capture systems, stage design, and custom control systems for complex venues. Its core technical stack is built on industry-standard design tools (Revit, AutoCAD), proprietary 3D design and analysis methods, photometrics and house-light modeling, and bespoke audio/video transmission techniques developed over three decades. The company does not sell a unified software platform or expose APIs; its deliverables are consultative, hardware-integrated systems specified, installed, and commissioned on site.

Clark serves nine active verticals — sports, themed entertainment, house of worship, education, broadcast, corporate, government/judicial, marine, and performing arts — with named reference clients including Overtime Elite, Truist Park, Indiana Wesleyan University, Watermark Community Church, Fellowship Church, Church of Eleven22, Willow Creek Community Church, The Crossing, North Point Community Church, The Legacy Center Dome Theater, Alpharetta High School, and MCS Law Offices. The revenue model is predominantly project-based professional services (design + integration + commissioning), supplemented by equipment-only "box sales" for clients with in-house installation capability. GTM is enterprise field sales executed through direct engagement with venue owners and via coordination with architects and general contractors on new build projects; the firm also completed international and marine (cruise ship, mega yacht) projects, signaling geographic and vertical expansion beyond the U.S. venue base. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no disclosed external investors, leadership change, M&A, or restructuring events on record.
