ADVERTISING
FOR THE 3RD
DIMENSION
Z.AXIS creates spaces which inspire audiences to action.
We are not cool with passive spaces, or interior decorating exercises.
These spaces got work to do!
AMBITIOUS SPACES FOR AMBITIOUS BRANDS.
3D ADVERTISING?
Surely you've seen faddish phrases like "Experiential Marketing" and "Consumer Activation"? We contend that clever vocabulary can obscure true purpose. The purpose of events is to engage audiences and sell ideas.
Seen through this lens, events are a form of advertising...and when done well...
they are a damn fine form of advertising.
Event Marketing? Advertising.
Pop-up retail? Advertising.
Tradeshows, keynotes, conferences? Advertising. Advertising. Advertising.
Okay, now you're with us.
WHY Z.AXIS?
Cast your mind back to middle school...you may recall the Z axis plays a special role in geometry. The Z axis takes a 2D plane and lofts it to 3D.
Our mission and work adds dimension to your advertising, bringing your brand and message into 3D. That's why we are Z.AXIS 3D Advertising.
A bit cerebral perhaps, but nerdy is still cool right?

Expert choreography of communications, schedule, budget and progress.
