Testimonials

“From a communicator’s standpoint, Vita Associates is the quintessential marketing design partner. They truly understand our challenges and objectives, and they’re experts at providing effective communication—never design for design’s sake. I don’t recommend people unless I have 100 percent confidence in them. Vita Associates is a firm that I’m always proud to recommend.”

Barbara Wilson Manager, CSBU Client Services Communications Southern California Edison

“When you partner with a design firm, you want a quality product that effectively tells the story. You also want the actual work process to run smoothly. Vita Associates really succeeds on both counts. They grasped the dynamics and nuances of this company very quickly, and they’re extremely easy to work with. Both the CEO and I have a tremendous level of confidence and trust in Jeanine and her staff.”

Peter O’ Neill Vice President, Public and Investor Relations Sierra Health Services

“As a public utility, we do everything by committee, which came as no surprise to Vita Associates. They truly understand the way we work, and they’re always willing and able to accommodate our process. They also know how to work with employees across all levels of our organization—people with diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and personalities. We’ve worked with other marketing design firms, but Vita Associates offers an unmatched level of professionalism that comes only with experience.”

Gigi Hanna Senior Public Affairs Representative External Affairs Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

“We have the highest degree of trust in Vita Associates. They are very collaborative and attentive, yet they’re also very direct about letting us know what doesn’t work—and why. Every design decision is made with the message in mind, resulting in an engaging visual context that brings clarity to even the most complex topics. As longtime clients of Vita Associates, we have a lot of appreciation and affection for Jeanine and her staff.”

“Working with a designer is like working with an architect. Form must always follow function, and Vita Associates has demonstrated that good design must take its cue from the requirements of the message. Jeanine and her staff are brilliant architects of communications in which the words are truly complemented by the imagery and together work as an integrated whole.”

Jeffrey Burbank Director, Communications and Marketing Library Foundation of Los Angeles

“Vita Associates is one of the most creative design firms I’ve ever worked with. Jeanine and her team are particularly adept at representing complex subjects in graphical terms that are easy to understand. The pieces they produce for us are upbeat, impactful and effective.”

Andrea Walden Marketing Director Vantage Technology Consulting Group

“I had the seed of an idea for a particular communications piece for my department, and Vita Associates brought it to life with their creative input and high-quality execution. It proved to be a very popular piece—employees were putting it up in their offices and telling me how helpful it was. I even started getting requests for copies from people outside our department!”

Betsy Woodford Senior Project Manager, Corporate Communications Southern California Edison

“My experience working with Vita Associates has been extremely positive. I was a novice, and Vita Associates was successful at making the process easy for me. They created the design concept with our input and handled all aspects of design and production, including the coordination of photographers and printers. The final result was a visually compelling piece designed to draw people into the text.”

Sean Hecht Executive Director, Environmental Law Center UCLA School of Law

“Our long-term relationship with Vita Associates offers a level of efficiency that really works to the client’s advantage. Jeanine and her staff have an amazing depth of print knowledge, and they know what’s achievable—which means they never design something that exceeds the client’s budget. The quality of their work is remarkably consistent, and the way they manage the details takes a huge burden off the client’s shoulders.”

Bob Bennitt CEO, Pace Lithographers Vita Associates Creative Partner

“Jeanine and I have a 20-year professional relationship, and it’s a privilege to work with her. Her sense of design is amazing, and she has a real talent for putting together elements that are both elegant and functional. Whenever challenges arise during the course of a project, they never throw her off; she just works through them. I think it’s the New Yorker in her. She’s unflappable!”

Ernesto Rodriguez Owner, Ernesto Rodriguez Photography Vita Associates Creative Partner

“I couldn’t ask for a more thorough business partner than Vita Associates. They jump through hoops to make sure we have the resources we need to do our best work, and they’re always eager to answer questions or bounce ideas around with us. They never stop until they’re 100 percent satisfied that a solution is as effective as it can be—and their genuine excitement is contagious.”
