Marketing Communications
AMPLIFY YOUR CORPORATE MESSAGING
Dynamic ideas and breakthroughs require a powerful marcom team to connect the “next big thing” to the appropriate media and markets. The same goes for mature products that need a fresh perspective. The VMA toolkit allows our talented team to use branding, social media, the web, collateral production, and even some old-time public/media relations to accomplish our clients’ goals — whether that’s reaching a dozen key stakeholders, thousands of community members, or millions of consumers.
“I have been enlisting VMA as a key part of our communications team for years. When I was at both Wind River Intel and Ricardo Automotive, we engaged them to simplify our intricate corporate messaging for both media and the public. The results were sensational, including coverage by the LA Times, Reuters, Associated Press, and industry publications like Car and Driver. VMA is now an integral part of our communications crew at Karma Automotive, helping forward our mission with multiple stakeholder groups.”
— Marques McCammon President, Karma Automotive
