About Us

In 1988, The Lemonides Design Group opened its doors in Hoboken, New Jersey. In 1992, we moved the company to Brandywine Valley of southeastern, Pennsylvania. In 2000, we grew our services and expanded our name as well — to Verve Marketing & Design. For nearly three decades, Verve Marketing & Design has delivered on a promise of growth and prosperity for truly exceptional small- and mid-sized businesses. We offer a comprehensive range of solutions, including strategy, marketing, design, packaging, and representation.

Verve Marketing & Design is a virtual company under the leadership of marketing specialist Diane Lemonides. For companies without an in-house marketing department, Verve Marketing & Design acts as their marketing team. For those with an internal team, we serve as their partner, helping to execute their plans, programs and transition. The result is personalized attention and an objective point of view from the best of the best in the business.
