We move people with unforgettable  experiences. 

MaxMedia is an independently-owned,
experience design agency.

Our work combines creativity and technology to move people
at a deeper level—bonding them to places, ideas, and brands. We deliver
provocative content and interactive experiences on screens of all sizes,
in every type of environment.

Sometimes, the bones of a good story are already there,
hidden in data or spread across multiple platforms.

From the consumer level all the way up to enterprise,
visualizing data in meaningful ways and collecting that data
into robust dashboards empowers users and customers
to make the kinds of decisions that change lives and businesses.

First, we aggregate multiple  and varied data sources  into a single user experience. On big screens and small. 

Take control
 
of trending.

MaxMedia partnered with AT&T’s PR and IT teams to create a social media command center called the Public Relations News Operation Center (PRNOC). The PRNOC aggregates real-time data from over 150 million online sources and alerts AT&T to trends, potential issues and customer sentiment.

Individuals from all levels and departments visit and utilize the PRNOC, and find it easily understandable—on big screens and small! PRNOC’s data aggregations, visualizations, and trend analyses are accessible on the large multi-screen display but also on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

But not all data are easily graphed. So, we also use clever metaphors to make the arcane intelligible and the abstract real. 

Process the 
opportunity.

A top-five management consulting firm asked MaxMedia to help them visualize the complex non-linear processes that retail giants use to bring products from all over the world to your neighborhood.

The result embraced visual metaphor to contextualize processes and business opportunities at the highest and the most tactical levels.

Pivot to win it.

Giving users the ability to view the same  data sets in various ways helps them contextualize and understand what the data are saying. Accommodating different mindsets is the first step to facilitating different approaches to problem solving and change management.

Room 
to grow.

With thousands of processes always working and being worked upon, seeing how changes to one impact the others is key to business planning.

As the data changes and grows, so do the visualizations representing them, letting retail executives and consultants keep their eyes on the opportunities and impacts that matter the most to their business and their customers.

A top-five management consulting firm engaged MaxMedia to tackle a unique business-intelligence challenge: How to turn a defense contractor’s 1,500-step process for building and maintaining the bleeding-edge combat aircraft into a relatable and easy-to-understand executive-level interface. And all that on an 84-inch, high-resolution multi-touch screen. The result shows how processes, projects, and systems can interact in new and profitable ways.

Intelligence 
for all levels.

With 1,500 discrete processes, the challenge became how to create a collaborative business-intelligence interface that spoke to C-level executives as well as tactically-minded business analysts.

The solution allowed users to drill down though various levels of complexity while visualizing only those metrics that are meaningful to them. It even allowed users to create scenarios where they could model alternative data-sets against the current state to demonstrate tactical value.

  • TRACED | Rapid Prototype

    Twenty-four hours at the Developer Summit Hackathon resulted in TRACED, a self-contained smartwatch app, which allows users to create and share location-based journeys and destinations using custom map data enriched by audio, video, and photography.
