““Bernstein’s MASS is nothing less than an Austin triumph.””
Austin American-Statesman
Merick Strategies led by Mela Sarajane Dailey is a consulting and production agency with expertise in large-scale performances, special events, fundraising, and uniting the corporate and nonprofit sectors in unique and exciting partnerships while benefiting the community.
Merick Strategies established The Bernstein100Austin organization to bring together 300 musicians and dancers including the symphony, 3 choirs, ballet, opera, and marching band for two incredible performances of Mass at the Long Center, a $1M production. It would be the largest musical collaboration in Austin’s history, – celebrating the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein.
Develop a powerful creative concept that intrigues, moves and captures the full essence of the message of Mass, while also helping lift up and support all the amazing elements of the production.
The Long Center, which seats 2,442, was fully sold out for both nights, while the entire production received rave reviews. Financial results surpassed expectations and all profits were distributed across Austin arts organizations.
The creative designs, and integrated promotional deliverables succeeded in showcasing the spectacular nature of Bernstein’s MASS and its message of hope to prospective audiences, performers, donors, and the entire community.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets.
AMD was experiencing significant growth in the commercial market to match that of their success in the consumer market. And while they had a robust channel program for the Systems Builder channel, they had no formalized program for the Commercial Channel to support VARs, Systems Integrators, and Distributors. The opportunity existed to build to better position the company for success with high value-add partners and to create clearer differentiation between partner types and program entitlements.
Leading with program strategy, Dialog created a complete program for the channel and system for delivering it globally. This included:
Worldwide Channel Partners grew from 1,200 to 4,100 in a single year
Launched the program in 16 countries and 10 languages within the first year
AMD Channel Program was also recognized by CRN as a 5-Star Channel Program the year after it launched

Conspirare is an innovative professional choral organization with 10 GRAMMY® award-winning and nominated recordings. Inspired by the power of music to change lives, this ensemble engages singers from around the world who join voices to deliver world-class, extraordinary live music experiences and recordings.
Prior to COVID-19, Conspirare enjoyed strong ticket sales, enthusiastic audiences and artists, and industry leading recognition. Conspirare’s live performances were completely shut down for 20 months, which was unprecedented. Conspirare needed to make a comeback for the Fall ‘21 to Spring ‘22 season but faced many risk and unknowns.
