Collaborative
At V2, we sink or swim as a team. We are true partners to our clients and work as counselors, not order takers.
Tenacious
We are not intimidated by a challenge. Walls are meant to be scaled—so we don’t settle for the status quo.
Curious
We channel curiosity into creative ideas. We strive to know more—not just about our work and clients, but about the world around us.
Confident
Experienced, smart and thoughtful—we give the best counsel because we understand our clients, their goals and the bigger picture.
Transparent
We own our successes—and our failures. Honesty and communicativeness are everything, and we are clear on how an individual’s work contributes to the client, the agency and themselves.
Real
We’re human. Our current jobs don’t define us—neither does our latest win or misstep. Above all else, we are dependable, trustworthy and get the job done.
We know that the employee experience matters to hire and retain the best and brightest people in the industry. See a snapshot of some of the benefits and perks extended to all V2ers to support wellbeing both at and outside of the workplace.
