virtual-edge-logoCouncil member, Virtual Edge Collaborative, recently pulled down some new business. Check out the news release below:

Virtual Edge Collaborative, an alternative to U.S. and Pittsburgh advertising agencies, marketing companies, marketing firms, marketing agencies, Web design companies and graphic design companies, (www.virtualedgeonline.com), has been hired by the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Pediatrics to create and produce its 2008 Annual Report.”This 300-page publication is the largest I have seen in my 20 years in the marketing field. We are thrilled to be a part of this project for such a respected and worthwhile medical entity,” says Virtual Edge Collaborative President + CEO, Gregg P. Gantwarg. The 8.5″ x 11″ magazine-style format will serve as a comprehensive presentation of the Department of Pediatrics’ 2008 financial information, key individuals, primary capabilities and structure. The piece will be printed locally in Pittsburgh by Broudy Printing.
“When we decided to outsource this project for the first time, hiring Virtual Edge was an easy decision. I have known, Gregg Gantwarg for years, both personally and professionally. His firm’s ability to deliver high-quality work at a very competitive price is a hidden jewel in the marketing world. I think Virtual Edge’s unique and needed virtual business model makes a great deal of sense, especially in today’s tough economy. And knowing Gregg’s attention-to-detail, experience, creativity and professionalism, I can only expect the best,” says Christopher Maley, Executive Administrator.

Typically, depending upon a client’s geographic location, Virtual Edge Collaborative is 50%-200% less. Instead of charging hefty retainers, sky-high hourly rates, grossly inflated markups and nickel-and-diming our clients, Virtual Edge Collaborative is affordable. Every project estimate is based on an all-inclusive flat fee, which means you know exactly what every project costs upfront. Virtual Edge offers an unbundled array of world-class marketing services (Print, Web, Interactive, Broadcast, Identity), without the obligation of an agency of record agreement or recurring monthly fees.
