Voler Strategic Advisors

What Voler Strategic Advisors does

Voler Strategic Advisors is a privately held, full-service strategic communications and consulting firm headquartered in San Jose, California. Founded in 2016 and operating with 1–10 employees, the firm offers ten integrated service modules — communications, crisis management, community relations, executive consulting, government relations, marketing, public relations, social media, training, and video production — delivered primarily to public-sector, education, and nonprofit clients across California. The firm also operates 'Bridging the Divide,' a podcast hosted by Chief Strategy Officer Rolando Bonilla and distributed across YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts.

The firm's core technical capabilities center on multimedia production and strategic communications planning rather than software or platform technology. Video production services include storyboarding, script-writing, shooting, editing, illustration, graphic design, and 2D/3D animation, supported by Emmy Award-winning staff with decades of television experience. Social media management runs 24/7 with strategic posting, targeting, and engagement tracking. The firm does not disclose APIs, SDKs, or proprietary platforms, and there is no evidence of AI/ML, data, or software-as-a-service infrastructure.

Commercially, Voler generates revenue through professional services engagements — project-based and retainer arrangements — with California government agencies, K-12 school districts, community colleges, and nonprofit organizations. The firm holds Minority Business Enterprise (NMSDC) and Women's Business Enterprise (WBENC) certifications, which support supplier-diversity positioning for public-sector and corporate procurement. It is founder/management-led, with no disclosed external investment, and reports a 30% year-over-year sales increase attributed to its CSO as of 2025.
