Vendi Advertising grows into new, larger space
On July 1, Vendi Advertising moved their offices to the historic Security Bank Building on the corner of 4th and State Streets. Vendi, a full-service advertising and marketing firm, was founded in 2004 in the historic Batavian Building in downtown La Crosse.
“We love working from downtown La Crosse and have a passion for the historic buildings,” says Kerstin Boudreau, co-owner and communications and research director. “We’ve grown substantially each year since we opened the agency. Our move to the 4th and State location accommodates our growing staff and provides our clients with amenities such as free off-street parking and convenient meeting rooms.”
Vendi’s new location is on the La Crosse Historic Architectural Tour and is listed in the National Register of Historic Buildings. The Neo-classical building was built in 1901 and remodeled in 1920 under the direction of noted La Crosse architect, Otto Merman.
“We made some beautiful updates that have modernized the space, while maintaining its historic integrity,” says Kathy Van Kirk-Przywojski, co-owner and creative director of the firm, “We designed an efficient, creative work environment that is inspiring and comfortable for both our staff and our clients.” The agency plans an open house this fall.
