Meet Steve.
Steve van Diest is the President and Producer of Viva Voce Marketing Group. He’s a filmmaker, writer and director who has told business stories since 2015, on downtown job sites, in hockey rinks and on a Las Vegas stage with Wayne Gretzky.
Viva voce is Latin for “by the living voice.” The best marketing still works that way: real people telling real stories, out loud.
