The Austin Business Journal named local audio-visual integrator Felix Media Solutions (FMS) to #81 on Austin’s Tech Employers List. The list ranks Austin-area companies by the number of jobs they provide to residents who work in the technology goods or services sector.
FMS, three-time Inc. 5000 member and Texas’ fastest-growing AV integrator, employs 24 local professionals, from field technicians to programmers, site leads and managers. One thing that unites them?
Technical mastery, according to FMS CEO Lionel Felix.
“FMS has been translating technical mastery into smart, easy-to-use, and scalable audio-visual solutions since 2015. The FMS team brings a combined 60 years of experience in managing end-to-end audio visual projects from conception [...] through budgeting, product selection, installation, and management to post-installation support,” he wrote in a letter to his employees.
Founded by self-described “IT nerds, ” Felix described the company as designed to succeed where others failed by prioritizing the functionality and ease of use of custom-designed AV solutions that fuse cutting-edge technology with a premium client experience. But that’s not all Felix set out to do.
“When we created [FMS], we did so because we knew it was possible to do great work, pay people well, and build a company where people are valued,” he wrote. Those values and that strategy propelled FMS from Felix’s “side hustle” to a leading integrator offering AV systems design and integration, security systems design and installation, access control, sound masking, digital signage and more.
Despite the challenging business environment of the immediate post-COVID landscape, a focus on “people first” hasn’t changed.
“We don’t want to be just any employer,” said FMS Director of Personnel and Communications Caroline Brewton. “We want to be a good employer. Here, we don’t just think it’s possible to prioritize your team AND your clients, we know it is - and our success has borne out that philosophy.”
