Live Design Productions

What Live Design Productions does

Live Design Productions is the core production brand of Emersive Digital Media Group (EDMG), a privately held event technology and digital media services company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Burnsville, Minnesota. The company provides event technology rental, setup, and on-site operation for trade shows, exhibitions, concerts, and corporate events across the United States, with nationwide equipment shipping and local labor coordination supervised by EDMG staff. Its core offerings center on large-format LED screens and video walls, professional lighting and staging systems, custom digital content development, social media integration for events, and studio or on-location filming services.

Under the EDMG umbrella the firm operates a portfolio of sub-brands — Live Design Productions (the primary trade show and concert production brand), Emersive Digital (digital content), Emersive Productions (studio and on-location filming), Emersive Integration (system integration), and Emersive Golf and Emersive Golf Simulators (golf-related technology) — designed to cross-sell across event technology, content, and integration engagements. Technology is built around commodity AV/LED hardware combined with in-house digital content creation capabilities, and the firm reports no patents, proprietary software platforms, APIs, or AI/ML systems. With seven employees and a quote-based, project-priced commercial model, the business is a lean services operation whose differentiation rests on nationwide logistics, experienced on-site supervisors, and a portfolio of branded work for recognized enterprise clients.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees for equipment usage, installation, on-site supervision, technical support, and custom digital content; pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts appear to be one-off project engagements rather than recurring retainers. The go-to-market is consultative direct enterprise sales with a horizontal segmentation approach, targeting trade show producers, concert and live event producers, and corporate enterprises across more than a dozen industries including technology, retail, hospitality, healthcare, automotive, aerospace/defense, government, education, gaming/entertainment, and manufacturing. Named clients include Microsoft, Adidas, Red Bull, Hyatt, Invisalign, Raytheon, VMware, Bridgestone, Haribo, Graco, Zoetis, Arctic Wolf, Lifetime Fitness, Rapid Medical, the University of Minnesota, and federal government events.
