Sherman executive vice president of creative production said: "We've been filled with enthusiasm ever since Velocity Cow became VVK PR + Creative; it's really a new dawn for our team & the clients of this amazing venture. We now have access to new services giving us ample opportunities to use our video production skills & creativity in unison."
The agency also made an effort to invest in their communities by giving back through donations towards arts; animal welfare; health & human services; education & public relations associations as well as developing the VVK PR + Creative Student Scholarship which stems from Van Dyke's deep involvement with Wayne State University where he serves as chair of its board of visitors & an alumni awardee.

In conclusion it can be seen that VVK has had an impressive first year exceeding expectations both financially but also through their commitment towards investing back into their communities through donations as well as developing scholarships for students looking at entering into public relations or creative fields such as video production or graphic design. With plans already set out for further expansion it looks like there will be plenty more success stories coming from this innovative agency!
