INTRODUCING

COMMUNITY LABS

GET PAID TO CO-CREATE.

COMMUNITY LABS is a paid program by the Vida Agency, a Seattle-based multicultural communications agency.

We use those insights to shape the messages, ads, and information people see every day from local brands and services you know and trust.  

COMMUNITIES WE CO-CREATE ALONGSIDE:
Spanish-speaking, low-income, renters, people with disabilities, small business owners, transit-dependent
