What 900lbs does

900lbs of Creative LLC, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a private experiential design agency founded in 2009 that designs and deploys custom immersive technology installations for enterprise and government clients. Its practice spans Customer Experience Centers, trade-show and event activations, augmented / virtual / mixed / extended reality experiences, large-scale projection mapping, interactive touch and 3D visualization systems, custom content management systems, motion design and video production, prototyping, and analytics/insights work. The firm operates with 11–50 employees from its headquarters at 5301 Alpha Rd., Ste 10, Dallas.

The company's technology stack combines AR/VR/MR/XR application development, 3D and motion-design pipelines, custom CMS software, AV integration (including AVoIP switching and 5.1 surround sound), and projection-mapping systems — assembled into bespoke projects rather than packaged as a standalone software product. Notable technical executions include four-sided projection mapping on the 555-foot Washington Monument for Freedom 250, a 20ft touch-enabled curved LED Sales Experience Center for Frisco EDC, an interactive 3D touch table for AWS re:Invent, a 360-degree product visualizer for Ericsson's 5G helmet, a multi-themed holiday screen-based AR experience for the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square, and a fully integrated technology center for Textron Systems in Crystal City, VA.

900lbs earns revenue through custom, project-based professional-services engagements, complemented by a managed-services layer for ongoing uptime, content updates, and feature refreshes on deployed experience centers and installations. Pricing is quote-based and bundled through multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 companies (Pepsi, Shell, Capital One, DXC Technology, Gatorade, Red Bull, Heineken, Bell), government and economic-development organizations (Freedom 250, City of Dallas, Frisco EDC, Visit Frisco), sports franchises (Dallas Mavericks), hospitality brands (Marriott Marquis), and defense and aerospace customers (Textron Systems, Huntington Ingalls Industries), with lead generation anchored by detailed case studies and recurring presence at industry events including CES, AWS re:Invent, and Sea-Air-Space.
