Working in partnership with TVA is a pleasure and I look forward to doing more of it! Lauren Stensland Associate, Enviroissues

What most impressed me about them was their professionalism, their work ethic and their compassion for the community they worked with. They paid significant attention to developing relationships with communities that had been previously underserved.
Sue Goodwin Strategic Advisor, Public Disclosure Officer, City of Seattle, Seattle Parks and Recreation
I’ve had the privilege to work with Amalia and Mafe, when they were with LCA, on an outreach and engagement project from start to finish. What most impressed me about them was their professionalism, their work ethic and their compassion for the community they worked with. They paid significant attention to developing relationships with communities that had been previously underserved, around the issue of field access and use within Seattle Parks and Recreation. By using a racial equity lens to better recognize barriers to access, they provided recommendations to Parks and Recreation to impact equity in assess and use. The ultimate outcome of their work; to create opportunities for more equitable access in the future. We will continue to use them as opportunities present themselves and have recommend them to other City Departments that could also benefit from their acumen. Sue Goodwin Strategic Advisor, Public Disclosure Officer, City of Seattle, Seattle Parks and Recreation
On relatively short notice, TVA conducted four focus groups in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Somali, and coordinated everything from recruitment, materials, and interpretation to facilitation and transcription. Their knowledge of each specific community made the difference in turnout and participation.
Jenna Smith Sr. Public Relations Specialist, Democracy Voucher Program, Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission
TVA has been extremely helpful in messaging the brand-new Democracy Voucher Program to Seattle residents. Not only is this program the first of its kind in the nation, it also involves the complex topic of campaign financing – so it was important to know how different communities would respond to initial program messaging. From our first meeting with Amalia and Mafe, we knew our project was in the right hands. On relatively short notice, TVA conducted four focus groups in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Somali, and coordinated everything from recruitment, materials, and interpretation to facilitation and transcription. Their knowledge of each specific community made the difference in turnout and participation. TVA delivered a comprehensive report and summary on time and on budget, and offered useful recommendations that improved our mailing to all Seattle households. In addition to their professionalism, Amalia and Mafe were also a pleasure to work with. We would welcome the chance to work with them again and recommend The Vida Agency highly. Jenna Smith Sr. Public Relations Specialist, Democracy Voucher Program, Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission
Working in different languages isn’t always easy, but the professionals at TVA have the relationships and expertise needed to get coverage in hard to reach markets like the API, Asian American, East African and of course Spanish-language media.
Heather Weiner Partner, Moxie Media
I’ve worked with Amalia and Mafe three times on challenging, fast moving earned media campaigns to amplify the voices and political power of marginalized communities. Working in different languages isn’t always easy, but the professionals at TVA have the relationships and expertise needed to get coverage in hard to reach markets like the API, Asian American, East African and of course Spanish-language media. I’ve recommended them with some reluctance to my colleagues – I want to keep them to myself! Heather Weiner Partner, Moxie Media

Lauren Foster Managing Editor, 425 Business and South Sound magazines
The best PR teams know how a publication comes together. As the assistant editor of South Sound magazine and 425 magazine I’m constantly working under strict deadlines to compile quality features. The TVA team have always understood what kinds of stories suit our magazines and the way we produce them. They pitch great story ideas, respond to me quickly, provide me with the right materials and are easy to reach. I love working with this team and I’m always looking forward to their next pitch. Lauren Foster Managing Editor, 425 Business and South Sound magazines
TVA used their compiled experiences and skills to appropriately address and center the nuances and complexities of working with diverse populations/groups.
Environmental Health Services Division Public Health Seattle & King County
TVA used their compiled experiences and skills to appropriately address and center the nuances and complexities of working with diverse populations/groups. For example, this came in handy to have TVA staff give us insight on the cultural context/ literal interpretation of a translated message. TVA staff were also very skilled in facilitating a focus group composed of participants of different cultural backgrounds and language barrier. Environmental Health Services Division Public Health Seattle & King County
They understand the importance of reaching out across communities and of tailoring the message to fit the audience.
Jeff Natter Executive Director, Pacific Hospital Preservation & Development Authority
Pacific Hospital Preservation & Development Authority has had a terrific experience working with TVA. From the day we first met with their staff, it was clear that their commitment to social justice and healthcare equity was as strong as ours at the PHPDA. They understand the importance of reaching out across communities and of tailoring the message to fit the audience. Their communications approach ranges from placement in large electronic media outlets to small community papers. TVA is truly a “creative” agency, and their enthusiasm is infectious. We couldn’t be happier! Jeff Natter Executive Director, Pacific Hospital Preservation & Development Authority
