CVJ, VRCE
Owner, and Founder

My talents encompass many areas, including business development, strategic partnerships and product launch, brand identity, public relations, social media, website development, market research, both B2B and B2C. In addition, I am thoroughly familiar with marketing industry practices, standards, and protocols.
I share my life with my beautiful, talented, intelligent daughter, three dogs, three cats, and a crazy double yellowhead parrot named Tequila.    

Mark Schwartz

Chief Brand Strategist,
Creative Services 

Since I strongly advocate for the human-animal bond, I enjoy brand strategy and creative services in the veterinary and pet healthcare industries. Gratulating from Eastern Illinois University in fine art and graphic design, I have spent the past 25 years dedicated to designing collateral, oil painting, and launching my pet products.

And when my cats are not standing on my computer keyboard assisting me in the creative process, I enjoy developing gaming apps, teaching fine art, and reading.
