The city of Indianapolis has named Veteran Strategies as its Vendor of the Month.

The Indianapolis Office of Minority and Women Business Development said in a statement that Veteran Strategies, “has played an essential role in strengthening communication between industry and our Hoosier community.”

Robert Vane, who founded Veteran Strategies in 2010, says his business is focused on helping local organizations with public relations, marketing, and branding. Recently, Veteran Strategies has helped with community outreach for the new downtown Signia hotel and participated in the rollout of the Community Justice Center. 

Vane, who comes from a long line of military veterans, says his status as a veteran has helped grow his business. He gives back to the community by providing pro-bono work to veteran organizations.  

Veteran Strategies is registered as a Veteran-Owned Small Business with the federal government and certified by the city of Indianapolis and Indiana. Vane also hosts a podcast called Leaders and Legends. The show shares the stories of prominent Hoosiers.
