Marketing & communications practice areas
Communications strategy and implementation
VIVA understands that effective communications bring strong strategy to life. Our communications planning processes gather insights and opportunities, then provide partners with a smart framework to guide communications execution.
Brand strategy
In order to make an impact, organizations must first connect to their target audience. VIVA thoughtfully crafts brand strategies and designs logos and looks that embody purpose and cut through the noise to engage audiences.
Storytelling and community engagement
From engaging families to share their experiences to inform systems change to capturing impact in compelling narratives, VIVA uses the power of storytelling to create engaged communities—and meaningful change.
Creative development
Our on-call communications support helps partners do everything from crafting messages and designing stand-alone pieces of collateral, to integrated multi-channel campaigns, and anything in between.

Our work in action
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with VIVA on many projects over the past ten years. When my agency was in need of both a communication plan and an updated, redesigned website, they were the first organization I turned to. As always, working with VIVA was a wonderfully collaborative and creative process. They took a deep dive into our agency and goals and integrated that with their knowledge and research of the community and the context of our work. Both end-products perfectly met our needs.”
