Who We Are and What We Do

Vibrant Community Partners is a coach advisory firm that helps communities on the path to vibrancy and creates a plan to help them grow into the best version of themselves. In general, we help communities recognize and achieve their potential. We work with community members and local anchor institutions to get on the same page, raise civic IQs, bring citizens together, galvanize their small business community and make smart decisions about growth and development.

Quint Studer created VCP after playing a pivotal role in Pensacola, Florida’s revitalization. A decade and a half ago, it was struggling economically. Today, it’s thriving. In the past five years, there’s been a resurgence in downtown construction and 25 percent growth in property values. And it’s winning awards and accolades for its flourishing downtown. Now Quint and his team use best practices harvested from Pensacola’s journey and their research of other communities to create a blueprint to follow.

VCP has a gift for zeroing in on what makes your community special. Then, we provide the tools and tactics you need to amplify these attributes (OR points of distinction) and tell your story to the world. In short, we help you shape that distinctive “sense of place” that attracts investors, entrepreneurs, new talent, and visitors and keeps your young people from moving away.
