About SDG MAX
SDG MAX remains the most powerful and strategic way to partner with SANDOW DESIGN GROUP, delivering unmatched access to the most influential architects, interior designers, and design professionals shaping the industry.
In 2027, we're rebuilding SDG MAX around a simple idea: your marketing goals should shape your program — not the other way around.
The tier structure is gone
For years, SDG MAX partners chose from a set of fixed tiers. Starting in 2027, that structure is retired. Every SDG MAX partnership is now fully custom, built from the ground up around your organization's specific strategic marketing goals — whether that's breaking into a new sector, reaching architecture's most influential firms, or owning a single high-visibility moment like NeoCon.
With this update, SDG MAX gives partners two ways to win: full customization for teams with a specific vision, and proven, goal-built packages for teams who want to move fast, all backed by the same bundled value, expert content creation, and white-glove support SDG MAX partners have come to expect.
New: pre-built programs, built around your goal
For partners who want to move fast, we've also introduced a new set of pre-built programs. Each one is engineered around a specific business goal, so you get a proven, ready-to-go structure without waiting on a custom build.
