Five years and evolving!

Two dreams sit at the heart of DVQ Studio: to shape our community by supporting its change agents and to change business by working differently.

 

Particularly with the latter, we have used DVQ as a lab of sorts. We attempt work/life balance with our four-day workweek. We play music and write poetry as passionately as write copy and design brands. We venture to tech conferences, volunteer, podcast and more -- all in the name of sparking creativity and bringing new energy, ideas, and resources to our clients.

 

It's in this same spirit that we share that DVQ will become a virtual office on November 1, 2011. In the two years since we opened a physical location in Grand Rapids, the world has continued to shift, and we're moving with it. We have adapted to meet client needs by working alongside them in their offices. Our network also continues to grow beyond West Michigan, making a physical space less important. 

 

We're excited about this move and the opportunity to continue challenging what work looks like and where it happens. Our new mailing address is PO Box 2414, Grand Rapids, MI 49501. Our phone and fax numbers are the same.

 

It's an honor that over 30 social change organizations have chosen us to help them define who they are and tell their story. We've come to know many organizations intimately, understanding not just what they do but why they do it and how they make it happen. This insight has been shaped into logos, messaging, case statements, websites and more.

 

Yet this is just the beginning of strong communications, and our passion for the mission and knowledge of the organization doesn't end with the close of a project. For these reasons, we are launching the Partnership Program, an opportunity to fuel your ongoing communications efforts with support from DVQ Studio. 

 

Through the program, your organization can have a tailor-made partnership with DVQ, including writing, design, and web development services for communications such as:
 

Participants received reduced fees based on the number of hours they contract, with payment plan options. It's a cost-effective way to build your communications capacity while benefitting from a partner who knows how you work and understands your story. Contact us to chat about how this program could be a fit for your organization. 
 

We are grateful to have partnered with so many amazing organizations and dedicated people. We consider it a privilege to help you tell your story, and we hope to connect with more organizations during our next five years!
