Vive is a full-service marketing agency providing strategic solutions to manufacturers and service providers in the plastics and metals industries.
There’s nothing cookie-cutter about our approach – it’s a large part of what keeps our secret sauce authentic. For more than 15 years we’ve partnered with equally ambitious clients from around the globe to sell both the sizzle and the steak.
Working with us means you’re working with an actual team of people. Rooted in Milwaukee, WI, we pride ourselves on being “Midwest nice” to everyone, so going out of the way for others isn’t out of the norm. With an analytical and abstract approach, Vive helps shift brand perspectives one gear at a time.
Since 2007, Vive Marketing has provided strategic B2B marketing services to more than 100+ manufacturing-focused companies. Our customized approach blends creativity and strategy — helping brands promote both the value and the vision behind what they make.
It was once said that content is king. We believe that sentiment still rings true. Strong content builds trust and can help establish your company as a thought leader. Vive crafts clear, technical, and engaging messaging that connects with your audience and reinforces your expertise.
Creative is where your brand grows legs and gains momentum. Rooted in a deep understanding of the manufacturing audience, our designs and campaigns move brands forward with purpose, clarity, and measurable impact.
Digital strategy only matters if it performs. That’s why we focus on measurable impact—through websites, SEO, PPC, and analytics—to amplify your online presence. The proof is in the pudding—and this is the pudding.
Every plan, every idea, and every tactic needs direction. We align your brand and goals with a clear, data-driven strategy that turns marketing into momentum—all to grow your bottom line.
Sales and marketing shouldn’t live in silos. We bring them together with a shared strategy built to attract, engage, and convert. When teams align, opportunities don’t slip through the cracks—they close.
Our favorite sport is football. Why? Because it’s the ultimate team game. And that’s what Vive is – a team. We’re a close-knit group with more than a handful of personalities, strengths, and Zodiac signs. We’ll stop short of calling us a family as we’re not trying to induce any dry heaves from anybody, but we’re a group that works well together.
The plastics industry shapes everyday life, delivering versatile solutions across packaging, medical, automotive, and consumer markets. It’s defined by innovation, adaptability, and a relentless drive for performance and sustainability.
The metals industry powers global manufacturing, supplying essential materials like steel and aluminum for construction, transportation, and technology. It's built on strength, precision, and continuous innovation.
Service providers keep manufacturing moving—from logistics and maintenance to training and technology. They bring expertise, efficiency, and support that help processors and OEMs operate smarter, faster, and stronger.
“I’ve worked with Vive Marketing for 3+ years, and they consistently exceed my expectations. Their team is responsive, creative, and truly understands both our business and our industry at large. They have helped us increase our online presence and drive more leads. I have personally recommended them to two other business owners who have used Vive and experienced similar great results! Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a reliable marketing partner.”
“Working with Vive has been a cornerstone of our organizational success. Their team consists of top-notch experts across various marketing and advertising disciplines, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and creativity to the table. From the outset, they took the time to understand our unique needs and goals, crafting tailored strategies that truly resonate with our target audience. The professionalism and dedication demonstrated by Team Vive have consistently exceeded our expectations. Their innovative approach and attention to detail have not only elevated our brand visibility but also significantly boosted our engagement and conversion rates. Our experience collaborating with Vive has been nothing short of exceptional.”
“My company, Tru-Form Plastics, engaged Vive Marketing in April 2022. Teresa and her fine team walked us through their process. They took the time to learn about our company from our team and our customers. They conducted a competitive analysis and developed a detailed marketing plan. They executed the plan by upgrading our website, working with us to develop effective content, and conducting a keyword analysis to improve SEO. Teresa and her project manager flew from Milwaukee to Orange County, California, with their photographer/videographer to orchestrate pictures of our team and conduct interviews with team members to create effective videos showcasing our team, our facility, and thermoforming capabilities. Thanks to Vive, our page ranking has climbed, and we are receiving a steady stream of requests for quotes from new prospects. When we ask how they found us, the most common response is Google search, you were at the top of the list. I enjoy working with Vive. They are a fun team that cares about helping companies like ours.”
“Paid search is one of our key marketing channels. Within a few months of working with the Vive team, our success rate doubled. The results speak for themselves — Vive has been a game-changer for our lead generation. It’s great to see our business development team busy! We’re incredibly pleased with the results and look forward to continued success with their support.”
“With assistance from Vive Marketing LLC., we have experienced measurable success due to their strategic marketing plan and deliverables. Through Vive’s Zweck Analysis® and branding exercises, we defined our brand and core competencies to promote within the plastics industry. There were several areas that we focused on with Vive, including a company rebrand, website overhaul that included SEO optimization and blog creation, press releases, and Google Pay Per Click campaigns. While marketing may be difficult to measure when it comes to ROI, based on the analytics and feedback received from customers and prospects, we have equated our investment in Vive with a $500,000 return guaranteed to grow within the next year.”
“Vive has been an essential partner to our company. As a mid-sized manufacturer, we don’t have the time or resources to invest in a full-scale in-house marketing department. Vive seamlessly takes care of all our marketing needs, including those we didn’t know we needed! Everything from website design and maintenance to branding, social media activity, recruitment, and much more. They are always professional, easy to work with, forward-thinking, and able to handle projects with very little input or direction. Without hesitation, I would recommend Vive to anyone looking for a marketing partner. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Happy to share that I have worked with the Vive team for over 10 years. 3 strong words apply. – Positive, Polished, and Professional – they have been a key part of my strategy and extended staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“We started working with VIVE approximately 18 months ago when they refreshed our website. Since then, we have worked with them on various other marketing materials and social media platforms. They are very professional and great to work with.”
“Excellent company to work with! Vive is large enough to complete big marketing and web design tasks in a timely manner, and small enough to really personalize their recommendations and input to our specific company. Extremely happy with our choice to use Vive for marketing as well as web development, maintenance, and continued improvement.”
“Conair engaged with Vive as its primary marketing agency for several years. Vive came to Conair’s offices and led several exercises, including a Zweck Analysis® to give us an idea of our purpose and what we mean to our customers and the market. This was helpful in shaping a meaningful campaign. Through the course of working with Vive, we launched multiple successful print and digital creative campaigns and kept in regular communication regarding what was working and what needed tweaking. I was very pleased with the hands-on approach Vive took to our account and the proactive measures the Vive team took to address our unique account needs and the desired direction we wanted to see our brand take. I would highly recommend the Vive team to any brand looking for a refresh or additional marketing support to help take their brand to the next level.”
“We have worked with VIVE for 6 years. They have done a fantastic job supporting our brand development and pushed us to do things we haven’t done in the past. Great experiences with VIVE.”
“As a strategic and collaborative partner, Vive played a critical role in defining and communicating our brand. Functioning as true members of our organization, the Vive team interviewed our business partners to identify our core differentiating qualities. It then developed and executed an integrated communications strategy that included advertising, website presence, trade show participation, and collateral literature. Thanks in part to Vive’s contributions, our business has experienced accelerating growth and share gains in an otherwise flat market.”
“Thank you to the VIVE Team for helping us with our marketing efforts – an updated logo, website, and now a video! It’s great to work with a company I can trust to guide us through the world of SEO, Google Ads, and marketing strategies to improve our visibility and brand name. The fact that they come from and fully understand OUR industry is a huge bonus as well! Highly recommend! :)”
“The Vive Marketing team is truly an expert in their field. Vive took charge as the company I work for needed a redesigned logo, a modern website, and all the bells and whistles that come along with it. Since our launch, we quickly saw results in new potential customers and increased website traffic. As a recent college grad and new to the industry, Vive has been gracious enough to continuously help me build my marketing skillset. Working with Vive has done wonders for our business, and I look forward to continued collaboration!”
“Vive has expertise in creating websites that match the character and uniqueness of your company, and managing it for effective SEO. They are focused on plastics manufacturing, which was a plus in GreenLeaf Industries’ selection of Vive when we were ready to overhaul our website.”
“Teresa understands the broader business picture, knowing that all the pieces must fit together to bring ultimate success to a marketing strategy. Her plan for DeKALB was direct and focused. Teresa is a hands-on leader whose personality complements our diverse team.”
“Teresa and the Vive Team did a great job helping us through the rebranding process. Their creative talent, attention to both detail and deadlines, and ability to turn feedback into positive results not only allowed us to launch a successful brand but also finished within our budget and timeline.”
“We have enjoyed working with Vive on both a project and a partnership basis. Vive successfully helped us to rebrand our company to match our young and proactive culture. The diverse team at Vive addressed our entire spread of marketing needs, from graphic design to trade show management and website development. It was a pleasure working with Vive, who felt like an extension of our team!”
“We would like to express our gratitude to Vive for a job well done. Working with the Vive team has been a wonderful experience. Vive not only provided us with quality sales deliverables but also guided us through an entire rebranding, interviewed our business partners, provided Winco clothing, artwork, photography, and company video, handled our social media, and performed countless other tasks. We quickly became friends with the entire Vive team and look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future. They truly have been a partner in our success.”
“Vive is a true extension of our marketing efforts! The support we’ve received from the team members at Vive really goes a long way – from case study creation, specific graphic designs for trade shows, in addition to a plethora of guidance in this digital marketing world. We’ve really established a genuine partnership and couldn’t be more thankful!”
“Great teamwork goes a long way! We certainly enjoy the Vive team’s energy and expertise.”
