The Origins of v2com
1994:
Julie Payette launched an international public relations firm specializing in architecture and design – a first in Quebec.
Pierre Bélanger, an architectural technologist, worked for 10 years at Daoust Lestage before founding Atelier Image-in, a pioneering agency specializing in 3D imaging and graphic design for architects.
2005: Pierre and Julie joined forces to found volume2, a graphic design and international public relations agency specializing in architecture and design. In 2008, Pierre developed v2com, the first newswire specializing in architecture and design, and Julie propelled it onto the international stage.
The first newswire
2008: The goal was to make it easier to discover design news and to provide the media with a fast and effective tool, all at an affordable cost to clients. The transition from print press kits to digital versions was essential at the time, and v2com became the world’s first platform catering to the specific needs of architects and designers, much to the delight of specialized media outlets around the globe.
Today: v2com is now the world’s only agency offering an unparalleled synergy of communications, public relations and press release distribution services for the architecture and design industry.
