Company Summary
RBV intends to refresh democracy by giving individual users the same mass-media tools as the country's existing political machinery.

Jocelyn SauriniMarketing Director
Jocelyn's marketing philosophy is that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Creatives should be usable before being visually stunning. Campaigns should be based on data and pre-determined viability for success, and should be optimized at every step of the way. Projects should be broken down into manageable steps. And always, always, outsource what you don't personally know.
