The Vida Agency has doubled in size since the start of the pandemic as demand for their multicultural marketing services centered on the pursuit of racial, social, and environmental equity continues to increase.
Seattle, WA – The Vida Agency (TVA), a full-service multicultural communications company specializing in reaching diverse audiences for greater cultural impact, hires Justin Haight as Senior Web Developer to meet an increasing demand for web services. The new role follows a series of recent expansions to the TVA communications, media relations, research, and community engagement teams renowned for their deep fluency in the nuances of cultural competence and work with diverse and traditionally underserved communities.
With the development of more than 200 websites under his belt for a range of public agencies including Sound Transit, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), Seattle Public Utilities and many more, Haight brings a wealth of experience to the TVA team. He was sought after for his deep software knowledge spanning HTML to Sass, combined with his diverse software environment, source control, server, and platform fluencies. The added web services bandwidth will enable TVA to expand support for both new and longstanding clients such as Satterberg Foundation, Lydig Construction and more.
“We are excited to welcome Justin to the TVA team, whose skills go far beyond his extensive technical knowledge,” shares Amalia Martino, The Vida Agency Founder and President. “With his International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) background, Justin is renowned for developing highly accessible and compelling websites that encourage public participation, boosting engagement from some of the hardest to reach communities,” adds Martino.
Founded in 2017, The Vida Agency has doubled revenue from Pacific Northwest-based clients year after year. TVA’s portfolio includes a mix of creative campaigns and community engagement for several capital improvement and transit projects across the region. Recent awards include a Gold MarCom for the West Seattle Program Overview video and honorable mentions for the West Seattle Bridge Don’t Go Low campaign, and the West Marginal Way Virtual Walking Tour video.
