RVA Guides was created to solve a simple problem — local businesses need a practical, cost-effective way to stay visible.
After years working across different areas of marketing, one thing became clear: consistent visibility drives results, but it’s often out of reach for small businesses.
RVA Guides was built to close that gap.
RVA Guides is led by Damon Scott, Executive Publisher, with more than 30 years of experience across multiple areas, including direct mail, print advertising, campaign strategy, partner programs, and channel marketing.
That experience includes hands-on work with co-op and MDF programs, ad production, and building marketing initiatives designed to drive measurable results.
While much of that work was done at a larger scale, the fundamentals are the same — reach the right audience, stay visible, and make it easy to take action.
RVA Guides applies those same principles at a local level.
RVA Guides isn’t built on complicated strategies or inflated expectations.
It’s a straightforward model focused on consistent exposure, targeted distribution, and pricing that makes sense for small businesses.
The goal is simple — help businesses stay visible where decisions are being made.
