Case Study: Spin Master - Elevating Meeting Room Technology for Melissa and Doug Integration

Client Overview: Spin Master, a leading global children's entertainment company, recently acquired Melissa and Doug, a renowned toy manufacturer. This acquisition required a comprehensive IT and technology migration to integrate Melissa and Doug's operations with Spin Master's existing infrastructure. A significant part of this migration involved refreshing the meeting room technology across 16 newly acquired spaces, ranging from small huddle rooms to a large executive boardroom.

Project Scope: The project included the installation of advanced meeting room technology to ensure a seamless and professional experience for both internal teams and external guests. This involved deploying Neat Bars for conferencing, upgrading room schedulers, and implementing state-of-the-art audio systems in the executive boardroom.

Challenges:

  1. Complex Integration: The scale of the migration presented challenges in aligning the new technology with Spin Master's existing systems while ensuring minimal disruption.

  2. High Expectations for User Experience: Spin Master aimed to create a meeting environment that was not only functional but also visually appealing and easy to use, maintaining their high standards across all locations.

  3. Diverse Room Sizes and Functions: The rooms varied significantly in size and purpose, requiring tailored solutions that could scale while providing a consistent user experience.

Solution:

  1. Neat Bars Installation:

    • Conference Room Refresh: Neat Bars were chosen for all 16 meeting spaces due to their sleek design, superior audio-visual capabilities, and ease of use. These devices were integrated with Spin Master's existing video conferencing platforms to ensure a seamless transition.
    • Executive Boardroom: The executive boardroom was outfitted with the Teams-certified Shure P300/MXA920 microphone package and a QSC amplifier and speaker system. This setup was selected to deliver a premium audio experience, ensuring clarity and quality during high-level meetings.
  2. Crestron Electronics Room Schedulers:

    • Upgrade to Crestron: The existing 7" Extron room schedulers were replaced with 10" Crestron schedulers, providing a larger, more user-friendly interface for managing room bookings and schedules. This upgrade offered a sleeker, more modern look that aligned with the overall aesthetic of the refreshed spaces.
  3. Collaboration with AV Planners:

    • Expert Execution: AV Planners, led by Kenton, played a crucial role in the successful execution of this project. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering a top-notch product were instrumental in turning the vision into reality.
    • Custom Solutions: The team at AV Planners worked closely with Spin Master to tailor each room's technology setup to its specific needs, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics were achieved.

  2. Enhanced User Experience: The refreshed meeting rooms received positive feedback from users, who appreciated the improved audio-visual quality and the intuitive control systems. The executive boardroom, in particular, stood out for its superior audio experience.

  3. Reliable and Future-Proof Technology: The use of Neat Bars and Crestron Electronics room schedulers, combined with advanced audio solutions, ensures that the meeting rooms will continue to deliver a high-quality experience for years to come.

  4. Successful Collaboration: The partnership with AV Planners was highlighted as a key factor in the project’s success, with their expertise and attention to detail contributing to a smooth and successful implementation.
