About VIA
At VIA, we live by the words Rigorous Magic. It’s an alchemy of genius, data-backed strategy and unbridled, risk-taking creative. It’s what guides every facet of our work, and what makes that work so special. But Rigorous Magic doesn’t just define what we do; it defines who we are and how we do everything we do. Walk into our iconic Congress Street office, and you’ll see it right away — from the clusters of VIAns buzzing excitedly around a board full of pitch work in the production hall, to the cozy couches of the lower stacks, where you might find our Chief Strategy Officer and a few Art Directors completing a jigsaw puzzle of French cheeses. The byproduct of Rigorous Magic for our clients is great work, but for all of us at VIA, it’s love. Pure and simple. A shared love of the community we’ve created, and the weird and wonderful people we are.
