What Makes Viv Different?
Viv works less like a vendor and more like an embedded growth partner. As a higher ed marketing agency led by experienced strategists, writers, designers, media specialists, and enrollment marketers, we connect the parts that too often get handled in silos: brand, message, audience, channel, data, and follow-through. That means fewer black boxes, fewer handoffs, and more useful momentum. You see the thinking, the testing, the performance signals, and the practical choices behind the work.
In-House Working StyleWe review your whole system and push ourselves to become 1% better every week.
Success Formula for GrowthWe connect strategy, execution, and outcomes for integrated enrollment growth.
No B-TeamSenior higher education experts lead every project and touch every deliverable.
Radically HumanWe build story-driven strategies with a collaborative spirit.
Faster TimelinesStuck in the planning phase? We work in tight feedback loops with rapid testing.
What We Do
We help institutions build the right strategy, find the right story, get it in front of the right audiences, and keep improving what happens after someone clicks. You benefit from work that spans growth strategy, branding and storytelling, digital marketing, enrollment campaigns, website content, SEO, AEO, and full-funnel measurement. If you’re comparing higher education marketing consultants, higher education marketing firms, or a full-service higher education marketing agency, Viv gives you senior-level strategy and hands-on execution in one team.
