SVC Announcements

Does your current marketing remind you of gagging on a light beer?

You’ll be welcomed into a world of spirited camaraderie, and you’ll meet people who would loan you a couple bucks if you needed bus fare or a short half-caf caramel macchiato with whip. Of course, it’s also possible that none of that would happen. In which case, you might be better off joining the SVC LinkedIn group instead. Joining both will entitle you to a lifelong supply of like-minded people who you can answer your SVC, marketing, and design questions.
