What are major milestones achieved by Macavv Media over the year
We measure our success based on the time it takes for a newly onboarded client to give us complete autonomy over deliver ables. In the conventional approach, which most agencies comply

with, Brands release their own versions of visual and functional requirements, a list that goes beyond just brand guide lines and the purpose of the deliverable. When we work with a brand, we constantly do little things that move beyond the basic scope of work just so that it doesn’t completely push them out of their comfort zone. At times, it does take a bit of reasoning with them, but at the end of the day, the increased performance and success metrics they experience does the rest of the job and wins us more of their trust going forward. This level of trust is what allows us to earn complete autonomy from Brands and why we value this measure of success.

storytelling, ensuring a more meaningful and relatable user journey. While new trends like creative scroll effects and loading screens are cool, the way content is created and consumed remains the strongest contributor to our customers’ satisfaction.

In terms of new technologies, we are working with a few brands in the NFT space and strongly believe that the tech has a huge future in the branding world.

What did the pandemic mean for you?
I think COVID-19 has given almost every business more than their fair share of challenges and sent us all scrambling for solutions to minimize the effects of the lockdowns on daily business processes. Creative teams are used to inperson brainstorming sessions before project heads are given their tasks to distribute among their teams, so as soon as work from home and zoom calls became a worldwide thing, productivity and efficiency took a hit. We started following the ‘no manager’ model, where in every resource is responsible for their own tasks & deliver ables. It removes the need for constant approvals and creative curbs as long as project goals are met. This turned out to be a game changer for us, and we have followed it ever since.

What does Macavv Media’s future roadmap look like?
We consider ourselves quite fortunate to have the kind of team that we do, and it’s quite a formidable task to find the right talent that is driven and excited by the complexity of the challenges we face every day. So, this year we plan to increase our team size strategically and significantly, mainly to cater to our newest focus area blockchain technology. We are building the foundations and frameworks to implement blockchain in certain key areas that we believe will benefit from the technology.
