Our vision
Never has the world changed at such a frantic pace. What was true yesterday is not necessarily true today. What works today may not be worth much tomorrow. In this constantly changing society, where everything is accelerating, sometimes at dizzying speed, the challenge on individuals, companies and institutions to adapt is also constant and often mind-blowing.
At a time when crises are coming thick and fast, in an era of digitisation and at the dawn of the age of artificial intelligence, we at VO want to play our role in building an authentic society that is at peace with itself, one based on deeper values that we all share.
As players in the transition to a more responsible, sustainable society that focuses on the human factor, on making life meaningful and on nurturing social ties, we act daily to bring about change.
Tomorrow’s society will depend on our actions today.
VO – Today for tomorrow
Our mission
At VO, we want our actions to reflect our role as a key player in this society in transition, a society underpinned by respect and dialogue between all stakeholders, whether companies, institutions, valued individuals or consumers.
Our ambition is to actively participate in the creation of a more humane and just society and a better world for future generations.
A team with added value
While our underlying ambition may be to create value for our clients’ brands or projects, the lynchpin of the group itself are all our employees and the values that drive them.
Quality
We firmly believe that the meaning we create must lead to results.
Entrepreneurship
We leave plenty of room for freedom of expression and action, as well as for individual responsibility.
Respect
All our approaches and processes are carried out with the greatest respect for people and nature.
Open mind
Every day, we appreciate that true wealth lies in a diversity of cultures, ideas, experiences, backgrounds and talents.
Trust
Only mutual trust paves the way for a long-term relationship with our stakeholders, as well as real autonomy internally.
Boldness
Daring to rewrite the rules and to propose the unexpected so that our creativity always smacks of freshness and originality.
How we do things
Sustainability
VO is all about maximising our positive impact and that of our client and minimising negative impact. This is why our approach revolves around sustainability, a choice that allows us to deliver our service with due consideration for social and environmental issues.
Content
Securing quality, creativity and consistency means complete command of content and context. We therefore factor exhaustive knowledge and understanding of the subjects and issues into all our projects. The stories we tell are all devised to be in tune with our clients’ values.
Innovation
Innovation is at the heart of our processes and products. In addition to in-house talent, we surround ourselves with experts with diverse skills. Whether internal or external, they are all chosen for their ability to master the latest technologies so as to harness the potential of all the digital tools and let it loose on our communication. Both digital (web, PR, SoMe) and within the framework of events (virtual, hybrid, in-person digital experience).
Diversity
The emphasis on inclusion that is central to VO provides us with a diversity of opinions, backgrounds and professional experiences and allows us to bounce ideas off each other. This gives us the impetus to go further, to broaden our perspective, and thus strengthen our contribution to the shaping of the world that lies ahead of us.
Anticipation
To be ahead of the game, anticipation is more than a watchword… it’s an attitude. VO is a brainstormer of ideas, a catalyst for reflection on present and future issues, and an inventor of solutions that are both ambitious and relevant.
Flexibility
Lastly, flexibility, the ability to adapt, the capacity to listen and to analyse are inherent to our way of working. This allows us to constantly reinvent ourselves, to break new ground and to manage complex projects with multiple facets and challenges.
Our engagement
VO’s transition started in 2015. The results achieved thanks to our environmental strategy can be found in our yearly CSR Report 2023.
As active members of society, it is our duty to play our part in contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We are convinced that respect for the environment and for human beings must be the natural corollary of economic development, innovation and creativity. For us, it is the expression of values that allows us to face the future together and to guarantee a positive future for coming generations.
This conviction is not just a statement of belief; it is also translated into solid commitments, as well as a results obligation with regard to our internal management and our office management and, above all, with regard to our communication and event activities.
