VSA Partners

VSA Partners was founded in 1982 with offices in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. We are a strategy and creative agency that blends consumer insights and data with human-centered design. Our goal is to create experiences that solve business challenges.

We provide integrated branding, advertising, data science, and technology services. Our offerings include audience research, brand consulting, brand strategy, narrative, messaging, brand architecture, campaigns, design systems, digital experiences, and employee engagement. We also develop design strategies, user experiences, interactive prototypes, and conduct qualitative research like moderated tests, interviews, focus groups, and mixed-methods studies.

We have worked with over 1,000 clients, including Google, Nike, IBM, YWCA Chicago, Invenergy, Google Cloud, and BNY. VSA Partners is a member of Meet The People and has received over 300 industry awards.

Our mission is to design for a better human experience, always driven by continuous improvement and curiosity. We believe in fostering an environment where individuals can thrive and that diverse perspectives lead to better solutions. We value true partnership, both internally and with our clients.

We believe in looking beyond superficial issues to solve core problems, and that work should be rewarding both personally and professionally. Our values are reinforced by encouraging employees to pursue significant ideas, pay attention to detail, support colleagues, champion their convictions, and maintain an enjoyable work environment.

Our team includes 51-200 employees who are problem-solvers focused on continuous improvement. We foster a collaborative culture where individuals are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work and use their unique strengths.

We operate with a hybrid work schedule and have policies designed to support employee well-being, like screen-free Fridays. We are committed to diversity and equity, striving for a workforce diverse in gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability status, veteran status, religion, age, thought process, and life experiences. This commitment includes fostering open discussions about diversity, requiring diverse selection committees for hiring and promotion, providing resources to address unconscious biases, and offering programs to enhance mutual appreciation among employees.

We offer medical, dental, and vision insurance, along with a 401(k) plan that includes a company match.

Our employees benefit from a hybrid work schedule, reasonable working hours, and a flexible time-off policy. We also have policies to support happiness and health, such as screen-free Fridays.
