JLV Winter 2026 Newsletter: The holidays brought celebrations galore! Looking back on 2025, I'm struck by how much growth came from intentional additions and subtractions.

As the leaves begin to turn their vibrant shades of red, orange and gold, my focus also turns to two of my favorite colors: Chicago maroon and burnt orange. Fall weekends often find me cheering on Virginia Tech football, where our older son proudly plays trumpet with The Marching Virginians—a particularly special connection since I once took the field as the feature twirler during my college days.

What an incredible spring it's been for JLV! We've truly seen our agency blossom, marking some significant milestones. We not only celebrated six years in business but also brought home some exciting new awards. Perhaps most notably, we took a monumental leap forward by welcoming our first full-time team member.

As we kick off a new year, I’m excited to share something special—our refreshed website! When I launched JLV Communications 5.5 years ago, my vision was clear: to build a PR firm that delivers long-term value through strategic, results-driven communications. That vision has only strengthened, and our new website reflects just how far we’ve come.
