Mayven Studios

Headquartered in San Francisco, Mayven Studios is a boutique engineering and design studio. The rapidly growing firm acts as a technical partner to quickly scale projects for brands like IBM and AirBnb, Mayven's team of 50+ engineers and designers are distributed across 17 countries. Merton Way was engaged to capture and design case studies, helping Mayven share its goodness to win more new business.

The Ask

Mayven Studios is an innovative, highly organized software development company. Operating out of California, they have teams in India and other countires, working round the clock for A-list clients. The mobile apps, websites and other projects are mind-blowing.

But they’re so busy, who is telling their story? The founders asked Merton Way to help with a content strategy to get the word out.

The Work

The list of brands served by Mayven takes the breath away: IBM, Facebook, Airbnb. Then, you see the applications they’ve built. Nothing short of astounding. Mayven is doing amazing work, so this project was all about interviewing the brilliant minds to capture all that goodness in some case studies.

The Win

With a general framework in mind for the case studies, the interview process yielded the right kinds of details about the projects and outcomes. Readers may care about programming languages, but they’d care even more to know that Mayven could deliver major wins with minimal direction.

Too often, however, other outsourcing companies like Mayven, get preoccupied with their bragging rights to how many full-stack developers they have on staff. Body counts of coders are just table steaks.

The real question is, “Can you build the UI for our launch of IBM Watson in 30 days?” That’s the sizzle!

Competing with Loom.com isn’t easy. But Merton Way helped a smaller SaaS company offering asynchronous video to pivot and find a niche among new enterprise customers like Adobe, Mazda, and Liberty Mutual. The full-service engagement included a quantitative pricing study that pinpointed the packaging and costs of the client's "good, better, best" subscriptions. The agency also decreased marketing spend by $1.3 million...meaning, our agency is in the business of more efficient revenue production.

Visitors to 29 Palms are very different than those bound for Palm Springs. Both typically attract Californians. But their demographics could not be more different. Camo vs. cabanas. Beer vs. espresso martinis. 29 Palms needed to send a clear message of astonishing landscapes and an “old California” vibe.

Roasting in small batches, Gold Coffee sources from hand-selected farms and relies on the expertise of roast masters rather than automated equipment. Batch roasting gives Gold Coffee a distinct aromatic profile. The taste of each varietal is determined by the microclimate in which it is grown and the intensity of the roast. There's so many brands out there making claims. How do we share Gold's nuances with consumers?
