our mission and vision

why viavox?

We started this business out of frustration with the fast-paced, impersonal marketing tactics and fleeting social media trends dominating today’s world. Our goal was to offer something different; something that truly highlights the local businesses and brands we all know and love here in Bend.

We wanted to create a space that celebrates the goodness of humanity, especially when it shows up in a local brand. We believe businesses can (and should) feel like good neighbors; the kind who drop off a plate of cookies when they move in; the kind that lead with community, kindness, and integrity in everything they do.

ViaVox Studios was built on the belief that branding should foster connection, not just drive mindless clicks. We’re redefining digital media and marketing by centering authentic human relationships over algorithms, especially here in our little Central Oregon corner where community matters.

Our Bend roots run deep (Go Lava Bears!), and we’re committed to supporting local businesses while nurturing real relationships that go beyond the screen and give back to the place we call home.
