ABOUT US
Virtue is the creative agency born from Vice.
Since 2006, we’ve used our entertainment DNA to help brands capture the attention of their audiences with work that speaks to our most primal instincts of pleasure, attraction and delight. We believe in commanding, not demanding; entertaining, not interrupting; contributing, not leaching. Because brands should add to the world they want to be a part of - not distract from it.
Launched in 1994, VICE has offices in 35 cities across the world and makes 1700 pieces of content every day through five key lines of business: VICE.com, an award-winning international network of digital content; VICE Studios, a feature film and television production studio; VICE TV an Emmy-winning international television network; a Peabody award-winning NEWS division; and VIRTUE, a global, full-service creative agency with 21 offices around the world.
VICE is the home base of all things fashion, food, music, identity & more. We strive to capture people at the heart of stories, and focus on the ideas, issues and context that other outlets miss.
