2016 was a year for the record books – both around the world and for our agency right here in Louisville. Backed by more than three decades of business excellence, Vimarc’s core competencies in strategic marketing, advertising, digital communications, and public relations services facilitated a particularly momentous year for the company.

2016 was chock FULL of personal achievements
Jessica Herman, one of our Account Managers and leading brand strategists, welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world.
And our Art Director and in-house fashion guru Meghan Boyd found out she’s soon to be a mother for the third time, too!
In addition to growing families, various Vimarcians celebrated decades-long work anniversaries, the demolition of 600+ pots of coffee, a 4-years-in-the-making Office Clean Up Day, and more team GIF-offs than we can count.
With all these milestones and more, the outlook for Vimarc is brighter than ever in 2017. We are excited to continue growing our diverse client base, nurturing this top-notch team, and expanding our capabilities and service offerings throughout.
