Chasing the Big and Sweating the Small with Curt Schreiber

VSA CCO Curt Schreiber was recently interviewed by Little Black Book’s Ben Conway. The article, “Chasing the Big and Sweating the Small,” explores Curt’s design origins, as well as the founding principles of VSA Partners. Curt shares what he’s learned about design and running a business during 30 years at VSA, including how our purpose to design a better human experience has guided the company’s transition from a boutique design agency to a brand-led customer experience agency.

Here's an excerpt from Curt:

“Early on, virtually all of the VSA staff were designers. As designers, we wrote the proposals, managed the projects, delivered the production files—and designed as well. As we grew, the opportunities required greater and more specialized skill sets. We hired strategists, developers, project managers, video editors, and content managers. We also opened offices on the east and west coasts to access more talent and better serve clients.

The design practice has always been integral to VSA’s DNA. Today, we consider ourselves a brand and strategy agency, and our capabilities have expanded far beyond what we started out with. But it all still comes down to design—just a different concept of what ‘design’ looks like. VSA’s purpose is to ‘design for a better human experience.’ So whether you’re a strategist, developer, or producer, every person in the company has a valuable role in design.”
