For nearly 20 years, Vanessa Manago has been wowing audiences with her pointed storytelling style. From stage to screen, her productions are just the right balance of dynamic visuals, heartfelt dialogues and a concert of soundtracks and sound design elements. They are aggressive yet palatable, inspiring while challenging – she knows how to engage audiences in a way that makes them a part of the story.
Vanessa stumbled into production while teaching Music at a private school. She wrote and produced her first stageplay in 2004. The 75-minute production entitled “From Glory” had a cast of more than 200 children. It portrayed the preparation of Jesus’ arrival on Earth from the perspective of Heaven. The production ended with his safe arrival in the arms of his mother. The sold-out production was a great success and although Vanessa had been trained in audio production, this experience was just what was needed to awaken her passion for production and visual storytelling.
Two years later, she returned to school. While completing a B.F.A. in Digital Film, she began putting her skill to work by producing short format videos for A-list entertainers, non-profit organizations and corporate brands. She then completed contracting work at a large Federal Agency, further refining her production and storytelling skill and crafting her unique talent for creating digital product lines. Vanessa has been celebrated for her ability to “story-tize” high-level concepts and present them on screen. As a result of her unique approach to digital storytelling, Vanessa has received more than 18 awards, including 4 Corporate Awards and many personal notes of appreciation and recognition from high-ranking Officials in the Department of Defense.
Today, Vanessa is focused on working exclusively with corporate and non-profit brands that have adopted storytelling in their marketing and outreach strategies. She is a master of creating a media-based product lines and, as a result, works primarily with clients that are looking to build their media base and achieve long-term outcomes. She has built the infrastructure of VMI Brands, a full-service, full-cycle, media conglomerate that takes stories from script to screen. The family of brands consist of The VMI Agency, a production design company that conceptualizes stories and completes all pre-production tasks, Switch Digital Studios, an all-digital film and video production studio, and Latter Reign Entertainment, a distribution arm for faith-based content.
Vanessa is married with 3 children. The family lives in White Plains, MD just outside of Washington, DC.
