Overview
We represent over two decades of advanced problem solving through a creative approach to technology development.
From the team whose design and technology solutions helped lift Microsoft & Epic's Gears of War franchise, Verizon FiOS and the Agenda Show from their infancy to unrivaled success, comes a painstakingly detailed Web3 ecosystem that embodies our vast technology development, experiential marketing, branding, sales and operations experience throughout these industries: streetwear/lifestyle fashion, direct-to-consumer (DTC) online alcoholic beverage sales, action sports, traditional sports, digital entertainment, finance, hospitality, healthcare, sport surfaces, building materials, non-profits, music and the arts.
Business Problem: App Fatigue
We are living in an era of severe organizational and institutional app fatigue, where an overload in redundant platform usage has not only markedly decreased productivity (up to 40% due to task-switching, according to The Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance), but it has also shown to significantly impact society's collective mental health in both education and business environments. In business, Administrators are reduced to swivel chair roles that require them to spend the bulk of their work day incessantly exporting and importing data between disparate systems.
According to the Harvard Business Review, “Psychology and neuroscience have shown that jumping between tasks — also called “context switching” — is cognitively taxing. Excessive toggling increases the brain’s production of cortisol (the primary stress hormone), slows us down, and makes it harder to focus.”
Also, according to their findings, “to execute a single supply-chain transaction, each person involved switched about 350 times between 22 different applications and unique websites. Over the course of an average day, that meant a single employee would toggle between apps and windows more than 3,600 times.”
Consumer Problem: Enshittification
Enshittification, the 2023 American Dialect Society's word of the year, is defined by the gradual degradation of our online lives, based on major tech companies shifting value away from you, and to the company's shareholders. This is highly evident, through:
a.) repeated price hikes with less inventory (digital + physical)
b.) the insane influx of advertisements that fully disrupt your user experience, especially for paid services that touted an ad-free pitch to gain Users
c.) top query results being rewarded to only the highest bidders, with the lone exception being to the platform's own competing products and services
d.) unjustified and repeated updates to terms' of service during non-update cycles and periods of stagnant innovation
e.) massive reduction or flat out removal of incentive programs for the content creators and influencers that helped platforms gain notoriety
An already unprecedented rug pull situation has warped into hyperdrive since the term was coined in 2022, and we continue to move further away from the magic of a free, fair and open internet at the hands of "too big to care".
"We’re all living through a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit. It’s frustrating. It’s demoralising. It’s even terrifying."
"Individual product managers, executives, and activist shareholders all give preference to quick returns at the cost of sustainability, and are in a race to see who can eat their seed-corn first. Enshittification has only lasted for as long as it has because the internet has devolved into five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of the other four.”

Experience
Our team consists of seasoned veterans with two decades of experience working together through technology development, experiential marketing, branding, sales and operations.
As a prior off-site consultancy, we were the first to successfully push XBOX Live's data pool to the web for in-game Auctions, Tournaments, Leaderboards and Gamer Cards. The inaugural launch was in support of their Forza Motorsports franchise, and our solutions were subsequently used in varying degrees by all global 1st party titles launched over the span of at least 3 years.

We concurrently began building a custom, approval-based B2B event registration system and companion show day app from the ground up for leading streetwear/lifestyle trade show the Agenda Show when they had 5k attendees on their books. We were able to process and scale the system to support over 800k attendees through two acquisition periods. It was ultimately used by RX Global, a wholly owned subsidiary of RELX Group, for their full portfolio of international B2B streetwear/lifestyle fashion trade shows across the globe. The system covered pre-registration, numerous airport style check-in options, real-time badge printing, mobile and hardware scanning, show day customer relationship management tools and comparative post-show analysis for over a decade.
We have received awards for our innovative solutions from the likes of Adobe, PR Week and the Society for Technical Communication.
