Posted on by

RIESTER has been changing the field of advertising through Brand Activism® for our clients for more than 24 years.

Since 2003, one of our favorite clients has been Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI). Over the years, our work for VPI has included PR, creative, context planning, branding, and digital.  We are pleased that the marketing and advertising industry has taken note.

In the recently released 14th edition of Philip Kotler’s obligatory collegiate-level marketing textbook, Principles of Marketing, Kotler has included a case study of VPI, recognizing VPI for its continued success and growth through niche marketing.

We are proud of our continued partnership and all of the successes we have shared with VPI, just as we are proud that future marketers around the world will be able to learn from our success with VPI and make their own mark in the industry some day.
