Urban Roots is an urban beatification project that Gateway Greening completes year after year. In 2011, VLC worked to gain coverage and media attention for this project and it was featured on KFCK, the local TV station.

VLC provided public relations, media relations, trade relations, analyst relations as well as assisted with community relations.

VAN LEUVEN Communications supported our Heritage Cooperative Show Ring Success Seminar on April 23, 2016. Their team helped us generate the event communications, manage the RSVP process, communicate the event via social media channels, and publicize with the media and FFA/4-H contacts throughout the state of Ohio. We had 500 attendees for our event and doubled our sales at our Heritage Show Trailer. This was an increase of 100% vs. last year for sales and attendees. We have already reserved the VAN LEUVEN Team for our event next year!
