As a creative agency operating inside an award-winning media-and-entertainment group, we have a unique vantage point: inside culture.
As well as all the usual core creative agency services, this gives you unprecedented access to capabilities other agencies don’t have.
CORE AGENCY SERVICES:
Upstream, agnostic, and very well connected.
We offer all the disciplines you find in any creative agency - client services, strategy, creative, production - but powered by VMG expertise, insight, foresight and cultural fluency.
CULTURAL SERVICES:
Additional services that tap into specific areas of VMG's infrastructure.
These are our 4Ps: PREDICTION PLACEMENT PEOPLE PRODUCTION
PREDICTION
We read culture to understand the forces shaping your audience, category and brand. We explore those forces with consumers to see how they're playing out. Then we use all of it to predict, find opportunities and navigate to long-term strategies that will help your brand cut through.
Production
In a world where most of the marketing budget is spent on things people ignore, Virtue gives brands direct access to the makers of things people seek out. Direct access to a means of producing a more valued and visible cultural output for brands.
Placement
As the consumer experience expands and evolves across a vast array of technologies, platforms and spaces, we help you stay ahead and innovate anywhere in that ecosystem of touchpoints. With our roots in culture & entertainment, we have unique expertise in how to think and make an impact across them all. We’ll show you how to stay one step ahead.
People
With unprecedented access to talent from - high-profile megastars to makers and influencers - we can give brands more rewarding and culturally richer relationships with talent beyond the transactional, helping it to become a living, breathing part of the brand.
