“I've worked with VIVE Marketing for 3+ years and they consistently exceed my expectations. Their team is responsive, creative, and truly understands both our business and our industry at large. They have helped us increase our online presence and drive more leads. I have personally recommended them to two other business owners who have used VIVE and experienced similar great results! Highly recommend them if you're looking for a reliable marketing partner.”

Tru-Form Plastics
“My company, Tru-Form Plastics, engaged Vive Marketing in April 2022. Teresa and her fine team walked us through their process. They took the time to learn about our company from our team and our customers. They conducted a competitive analysis and developed a detailed marketing plan. They executed the plan by upgrading our website, working with us to develop effective content, and did key word analysis to improve SEO. Teresa and her project manager flew from Milwaukee to Orange County California with their photographer / videographer to orchestrate pictures of our team and conducted interviews with team members to create effective videos showcasing our team, our facility, and thermoforming capabilities. Thanks to Vive, our page ranking has climbed, and we are receiving a steady stream of requests for quotes from new prospects. When we ask how they found us, the most common response is Google search, you were at the top of the list. I enjoy working with Vive. They are a fun team who cares about helping companies like ours.”

P&P Industries
“Vive has been an essential partner to our company. As a mid-sized manufacturer we don't have the time or resources to invest in a full scale in-house marketing department. Vive seamlessly takes care of all of our marketing needs, including those we didn't know we needed! Everything from website design and maintenance, to branding, social media activity, recruitment, and much more. They are always professional, easy to work with, forward thinking, and able to handle projects with very little input or direction. Without hesitation I would recommend Vive to anyone looking for a marketing partner. You wont be disappointed!”

"With assistance from Vive Marketing LLC., we have experienced measurable success due to their strategic marketing plan and deliverables. Through Vive’s Zweck Analysis and branding exercises, we defined our brand and core competencies to promote within the plastics industry. There were several areas that we focused on with Vive including a company rebrand, website overhaul that included SEO optimization and blog creation, press releases, and Google Pay Per Click campaigns. While marketing may be difficult to measure when it comes to ROI, based on the analytics and feedback received from customers and prospects, we have equated our investment in Vive with a $500,000 return guaranteed to grow within this next year."

CONAIR
"Conair engaged with Vive as its primary marketing agency for several years. Vive came to Conair’s offices and led several exercises include a Zweck Analysis® to give us an idea of our purpose and what we mean to our customers and the market. This was helpful in shaping a meaningful campaign. Through the course of working with Vive, we launched multiple successful print and digital creative campaigns and kept in regular communication regarding what was working and what needed tweaking. I was very pleased with the hands-on approach Vive took to our account and the proactive measures the Vive team took to addressing our unique account needs and desired direction we wanted to see our brand take. I would highly recommend the Vive team to any brand looking for a refresh or additional marketing support to help take their brand to the next level."

“As a strategic and collaborative partner, Vive played a critical role in defining and communicating our brand. Functioning as true members of our organization, the Vive team interviewed our business partners to identify our core differentiating qualities. It then developed and executed an integrated communications strategy that included advertising, website presence, trade show participation and collateral literature. Thanks in part to Vive’s contributions, our business has experienced accelerating growth and share gains in an otherwise flat market."

“I would like to thank the team at Vive for all of the support that they have provided me in growing my plastic manufacturing business. The entire team at Vive treated me as if I was a million-dollar account when the reality is I am probably, if not definitely, their smallest account. It is that type of customer service and professionalism that separate Vive from any other marketing company around. I would recommend them to any one that wants to have a world class organization as part of their team.”
