My name is Max! I'm a Senior Creative Strategist at PwC, where I help lead Metaverse & Innovation Strategy.
I work with the firm's global Fortune 500 clients to shape and execute their emerging tech implementation strategy. I was recruited as an original member of the PwC's metaverse team and had a foundational role in strategizing and marketing the firm's metaverse services. Additionally, I am a global PMO and coordinator, helping oversee the integration of metaverse services across PwC's global network.
I speak at international conferences, universities, and internal firm upskilling sessions about immersive experience strategy for brands.
I have also contributed to publications discussing the impact of metaverse technology on advertising.
I'm deeply passionate about the intersection between "traditional" advertising and immersive media – dedicating my career to understanding the convergence of digital <> physical and what truly drives audience engagement!
