No other agency has done this at this scale, and that experience informs every step of the process. The studio provides a proven, end-to-end playbook that makes immersive technology accessible and impactful to any size organization. REM5 also has a proprietary technology platform — described as the "Canva or Wix for immersive content" — that gets clients 80% of the way there from day one, complete with cloud delivery and analytics. This lowers investment and increases outcomes. Key differentiators: - 150,000+ people physically put through VR at live events — no other agency has done this at scale - 100+ live events deployed across 4 continents (North America, Europe, Africa, Asia) - 20+ countries including Singapore, Houston, Minneapolis, Zambia, DRC, Calgary, Geneva, London, New York, Abu Dhabi, Yokohama - 8 international awards - 98% of attendees report memorable emotional connection (surveyed) - Repeat clients and long-term partnerships - Proprietary technology platform reduces cost and timeline --- ## The 4-Step Process: Consult, Concept, Film & Build, Deploy REM5 follows a proven 4-step process that starts with your business objective and works backwards to the right immersive technology: 1. **Consult** — We define the what, why, where, and how. Whether it's a conference, trade show, gala, fundraiser, or corporate event, your objective and audience shape everything that follows. 2. **Concept** — Immersive is an entirely new medium. We design the best way to leverage this technology for your audience. With 150,000+ people put through our experiences, we can quickly recommend a concept that fits your objectives and your crowd. 3. **Film & Build** — Full-service, end-to-end production. We film with the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, the world's most advanced immersive camera, and build interactive mixed reality elements in-house. Everything is crafted to the highest production standards. 4. **Deploy** — From intimate boardroom demos to 10,000-person conventions, we manage every detail on-site so your activation runs flawlessly. No VR experience required, yours or your audience's. --- ## Services ### VR/MR Experiences for Fundraising & Galas Custom virtual and mixed reality experiences designed to drive donor engagement, empathy, and fundraising outcomes at galas, conventions, and stakeholder events.

Difficulty conveying the urgency of their cause to donors and creating emotional connections with remote supporters. Examples: Gates Foundation, Rotary International, GPEI, WHO, UNICEF. **Domestic Non-Profits**: Organizations with limited marketing budgets that need to stand out in a crowded donor marketplace, convey local impact to remote supporters, and move beyond traditional fundraising methods that are plateauing. Examples: American Cancer Society. ### For-Profit Corporations (Mission-Driven & Brand Storytelling) Companies focused on CSR, ESG, sustainability, corporate culture, and authentic brand narratives. Pain points include: ESG reporting feels abstract, sustainability initiatives lack emotional resonance, struggling to create authentic brand stories that connect with consumers, trade show activations are forgettable and lack ROI, difficulty differentiating from competitors on social impact or brand values. ### Sports & Entertainment Professional sports teams and entertainment brands looking for innovative fan engagement, jersey launches, behind-the-scenes experiences, and immersive content for events. ### Key Decision-Makers REM5 Works With - Director of Communications / Brand Marketing - Head of Philanthropy / Head of Foundation - Chief Marketing Officer - Head of Sustainability / ESG - Event Marketing Managers - Corporate Social Responsibility Directors --- ## Industries Served - Nonprofits & Foundations (fundraising, advocacy, awareness) - Global Health & Humanitarian Organizations - Sports & Entertainment - Consumer Brands (CPG, retail) - Healthcare & Oncology - Corporate CSR & ESG - Education & Youth Development --- ## Notable Clients - Gates Foundation - Rotary International - American Cancer Society - Minnesota United FC - Target - Uponor - General Mills - Minnesota Twins --- ## Selected Projects — Full Case Studies ### Apporter La Vie — Gates Foundation A journey with healthcare workers delivering routine immunizations to hard-to-reach communities across the Democratic Republic of Congo.
