The strength of DVS, and what makes us unique, is our passionate perspective and people. We believe that Strategic Design + Innovation delivered by people with a passion is what makes a successful agency, not just a cool location or the latest equipment. Although we have those too!

Since 1993, starting out in 640 square feet of space in Wyoming, Michigan, we’ve grown exponentially in size, staff, and capabilities. Our successful evolution is the direct result of our ability to listen. Each stage of that evolution was the result of a client saying, “can you do this” or “we have this problem, can you help?” Our answer has always been yes, together we can do that.

Always evolving to satisfy your needs, DVS is a full-service Marketing & Advertising Agency with a strong focus on Strategic Design + Innovation. And a specialization in small & medium size organization’s communication needs

Take Initiative
Nothing happens without someone stepping up and doing it. We are the doers who make things happen.

Act with Integrity
We are accountable and do what's right, even when it costs us. Reputation outweighs profit every time.

Be Adaptable
We embrace the ever-changing nature of our chosen business and are agile in our work. No two clients or projects are identical, so our approach, while structured, is ever adaptable.
