Where Portland, Maine



The VIA Agency built a business by thinking outside of the typical Madison Avenue mentality. It believes that what makes its work special for its clients—which include Unilever's Klondike and Vaseline, Sam's Club, and Welch's—is that it's structured to let creative juices flow. Housed in a restored Portland, Maine, public library built in 1888, the 22-year-old agency inspires its employees through lunchtime dance parties, snow sculpture building contests and juggling lessons.
