Breaking Ceilings In Heels
40 Years of AV Trailblazing
In 1986, armed with a bold idea and an uncanny talent for connecting with people, Founder and CEO Lynn Matson took a leap of faith that would transform the AV industry. What started as a chance moment—helping a client at a Dallas modeling agency find a TV/VCR combo—grew into a pioneering venture that redefined how brands engage with their customers.
From Startup to Industry Leader
Lynn’s journey started with Business Television Video Systems, born from necessity and nurtured by her understanding that technology should enhance, not overshadow, the human element. “I had no funding, no bank backing at all,” Lynn reflects. Yet what she lacked in capital, she made up for with vision, determination, and unshakeable commitment to her clients and team.
By 2005, the company evolved into Pro-Motion Technology Group, a name that perfectly captured her philosophy of technology in motion, creating experiences that move people both literally and emotionally.
Building Culture & Connection
Today, PTG is more than a technology company, it has become a catalyst for moments that matter. We serve blue-chip clients including Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, American Eagle, and Sweetgreen, among many others. But Lynn’s proudest achievement is the perfect triangle – her steadfast belief that if she takes care of her team, her team will take care of their clients, and their clients have always taken care of PTG.
Pioneering Ambience Marketing
Lynn didn’t just adapt to the digital revolution; she helped define it. Her groundbreaking “Ambience Marketing” concept revolutionized the retail customer experience, understanding that true engagement speaks to all the senses. People are fast, but the right experience can slow them down. This philosophy led to her book “See It, Hear It, Experience It, Buy It,” capturing her approach to multi-sensory experiences that don’t just inform customers – they inspire them. When shoppers and guests aren’t engaged, they don’t become customers. Lynn understood this long before it became industry wisdom.
Legacy & Future
As PTG nears its 40-year anniversary, Lynn’s created a business that continues to break barriers, develop the next generation of professional talent, and evoke breathtaking in-store experiences.
We’ve seen the future, and Lynn helped shape it. From a single idea to transforming how the world’s most recognizable brands connect with customers, Lynn’s legacy lives in countless moments of connection and inspiration her work has made possible. Solutions that work? That’s table stakes. Our mission is creating experiences that move people, literally and emotionally.

Our Core Values
We believe in the power of human connection. You can see it in the technology experiences we create for consumers, and in the contagious energy, capabilities and commitment we bring to our clients.
The Perfect Triangle
It’s beautifully simple: take exceptional care of our team, and they’ll create exceptional experiences for our customers. We’re not just talking about basic benefits here – we’re talking about building a vibrant workplace where innovation thrives, growth is constant, and everyone has a seat at the table. Through robust training programs and clear career pathways, we empower our team to be their best selves. And here’s the magic: when our people feel valued, supported, and energized, they pour that same energy into every customer interaction. It’s a perfect triangle of success: we invest in our people, our people wow our customers, and our customers fuel our growth
Your One Stop Shop
We’re not just suppliers – we’re solution matchmakers who transform business challenges into innovative wins. Our team digs deep to understand your needs, delivering solutions that leave a mark on your customers. From simple systems to complex projects, we’re the one-stop shop where expertise meets innovation.
We’re a little gritty coming from Detroit City
Based in the Motor City, we know a little something about how to get things done. Our technology expertise and strategic acumen are fueled by a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality grounded in an understanding that promises have to be kept and reputations are built on results. In an environment where only the strong survive, we do whatever it takes to keep our clients profitable and productive.
A culture of caring
Clients need confidence that their partners will be there for the long haul. PTG has thrived over the decades by fostering and sustaining long-term relationships – not only with our clients, but among our staff, as well as our vendors and other partners. We’re invested in one another’s success, because having one another’s back moves us forward as a team.
Contagious Energy
From the energy in our project kickoffs to the thrill of system go-lives, there’s an electric atmosphere every time you work with us. Maybe it’s because our engineers geek out over finding the perfect solution. Or perhaps it’s how we turn complex challenges into “aha!” moments. It’s one of the main reasons our clients consider us their AV happy place, and every team member owns this vibe. Whether you’re troubleshooting with our support team, collaborating on a custom integration, or brainstorming your next big innovation, you can feel when our specialists are in their element. We’re the kind of people who get genuinely excited about audio system configurations and do virtual high-fives over successful digital signage deployments. It’s an energy that’s contagious – and it makes every project feel less like a transaction and more like an adventure!
The Seven P’s: Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
Every game-changing solution starts with a rock-solid game plan. We’re the partner who digs into the details before diving into action – because we know that thoughtful preparation today prevents headaches tomorrow. Our team is the master of the “measure twice, deploy once” philosophy, bringing methodical precision to every project without losing our innovative spark. We don’t just plan for success; we plan for “wow!” Sure, some call us thorough. We call it turning potential problems into powerful possibilities.
Communication is Key
Great communication is at the core of everything we do. We believe it must be consistent, reliable, predictable, and effective – but equally important, it needs to be thoughtful, compassionate, and yes, even courteous. It’s a two-way street that demands active listening, setting a high standard for how we interact. By sharing information openly and fostering genuine dialogue, we create an environment where everyone’s voice matters and great ideas can flourish.
It’s Never Wrong to Do the Right Thing
When we spot a better way to solve a client’s challenge, we speak up. When a project needs extra attention, we dive in. And if something isn’t working? We own it, fix it, and make it right. Because at the end of the day, we’re not just building systems – we’re building trust. And that’s an investment that always pays off.
