VENICE MEDIA DISTRICT HOLDS ‘VMD OFFLINE: VOL. 2’

Some of the world’s top ad agencies, production companies, design firms, and post studios are situated in Venice, CA — LA’s artistic outpost by the sea. On May 19th, non-profit organization Venice Media District presented VMD OFFLINE Vol. 2 at The Brig. The brand-new, bi-monthly series of mixers offered the media community some casual networking, with donated giveaways from local business sponsors to boot.

The Hype team has been proud of its commitment to VMD since its inception in Fall 1996. Drawn to VMD’s altruistic mission, our very own Special Agent and “Venetian” Colleen O’Mara currently serves as VMD Chair/Director of Communications, along with fellow “Hypester” Mark Tillman serving as Director of Marketing.
