As we head into the depths of the holiday shopping season, we enjoyed an incredible conversation with Beck Besecker is the co-founder and CEO of Marxent.
Founded 2011, Marxent’s 3D technology solutions that leverage virtual reality and augmented reality are disrupting how consumers shop. Before Marxent, Beck spent 13 years building interactive
marketing solutionsfor Fortune 500 retailers and brands, including Target Stores and Tesco, so we knew this was going to be a fascinating discussion.Marxent’s first project with Lowes (LOW) was in 2013. The company gained national headlines earlier in 2018 when Macy’s (M) released a case study on its partnership with Marxent, a partnership which provided Macy’s customers with the ability to design their living spaces using a VR headset which immerses them in virtual rooms they can create. This project is to date the largest VR rollout in retail history. The project has been so successful that Marxent has signed contracts with at least 11 of the top 25 US furniture retailers.Related:
