The Vandiver Group is now in its 16th year. Our staff is plugging away to not only keep TVG, but our clients, ahead in these tough economic times.

First, I am excited to announce the launch of our newest Web site, www.vandivergroup.com. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to explore the new and updated information on our practice areas and case studies. The launch of our TVG web site is part of a rebrand for TVG that we started last year. Since we do this kind of work for our clients, made sense for us to practice what we preach. We encourage you to share your thoughts on the site at our Twitter account @VandiverGroup or by email to info@vandivergroup.com. Our blog will be open for comments soon, so stay tuned for more opportunities to share feedback.

In addition to our brand, TVG has been significantly evolving over the last year. While maintaining our strong team culture, we have made some great additions to the staff, adding or promoting Practice Leaders for our core areas of expertise. And, we have continued our vigorous professional development to ensure our TVG team can continue to present and deliver leading edge solutions for our clients.

With a struggling economy, it is important to maintain strong business development initiatives, and our solutions team can help you select the best strategy and tactics to move your business forward. TVG has been in the social media and word-of-mouth space for six years. We are charter members of WOMMA (The word of mouth marketing association) and I serve on the ethics task force. We continue to find new ways our clients can use social media to deliver powerful communication solutions. Additionally, we are excited about the continued development of our sustainability, branding, web development, graphic design and employee branding services. You can view a complete list of our services at www.vandivergroup.com/services.

We are truly energized by the changes we’ve made and we look forward to serving our present and new clients in 2009. Thank you for your support and call us, twitter or email us to talk about how you’ll be positioned coming out of the current recession. Happy to offer our insight and counsel.
