Our focus is your ROI - not just the financial value of a project, but also your total
"Return On Information".
We look at all aspects of your project - the consistency of the creative, the flow of the event, the overall technical production, the audience, the presenters, the budget, as well as the “what if?” factors. All are critical to the success of any business communication project.
We maximize ROI ...however you measure it.

We bring together the right team and the right tools to each project we produce. Our production teams consist of experienced, creative professionals who are also technical and detail-oriented.
We work within your budget parameters - and your time frames - to meet your needs without the excessive overhead of larger companies.
What we do isn't magic... it's just experience, the right tools, the expertise of the right people, and a vision focused on your communications needs.

What our clients say...
They have collaborated with The Maxcel Company for many years producing great meetings and events. They are creative, will do anything to get the job done and very flexbile. I highly recommend them and their team.
The Maxcel Company
They willingly and patiently helped us to produce a most successful event. Participants made comments about the quality of our production services. I highly recommend them and plan to use them for all future events!
Marsha Clark & Associates
When I was given the challenge of chairing our company's Kickoff Meeting, with no prior corporate event planning experience, I knew I needed help. You were able to come in and face the obstacles given to me: (1) a very tight time frame, (2) a new president located out of state, and (3) an immoveable budget. You exceeded all expectations on those three items and made me look great in the process!
AVAYA
Once again your commitment to excellence has proven invaluable. The videos are great!
Electronic Data Systems
It's been a great event and it's gone extremely well. So, we're having a good time. They made the whole experience a true pleasure . . . it’s been flawless. I highly recommend them for their work and personality.
Winzer Corporation
Thank you for the great video. I think it was extremely well done, and we are particularly proud of the manner in which you portrayed Southwest Airlines in your presentation. I have forwarded the videotape to Herb Kelleher who I know will enjoy seeing it.
