In the beginning — the story behind Wheelhouse Creative

When we begin helping a new client, our team at Wheelhouse Creative LLC prides itself on research. What’s the business’s history? What are its strengths? What are its needs? How can we help? We dig deep.
Likewise, we believe clients and potential clients should know the story behind Wheelhouse.
Many around the Ohio Valley, West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania know about our creative abilities and hard work ethic. A full-service advertising agency, we specialize in effective and innovative campaigns for businesses of all sizes. Brand development and management? Media development and placement? Graphic design? Video production? Digital marketing? Public relations? Social media marketing? Copywriting? We do it all.
Yet we believe history defines each and every one of us. And here’s ours.
Wheelhouse began on the third floor of a house affectionately known as “big blue” in Wheeling on West Virginia’s historic National Road. A marketing team of three represented the communications department at the law firm of Bordas & Bordas. The trio worked with various vendors for graphic design services, video production, and media placement to market Bordas & Bordas.
Well, in 2014, it was suggested to Jamie Bordas, the firm’s managing partner, that he expand the communications department into a full-service advertising agency and offer to other businesses what worked so successfully for the law firm. On Jan. 5, 2015, Wheelhouse Creative was officially open for business with account executives, a media buyer, a graphic designer, and a video specialist.
The response was great. The year 2015 marked one of growth, as the agency added a team of graphic designers to service the growing design needs of its clients. In 2016, Wheelhouse Creative expanded to the Pittsburgh market. The years of 2017 and 2018 brought a further expansion of services, as Wheelhouse Creative added social and digital media specialists and brought the area’s top video production team in-house to solidify its role as a premier creative agency.
Today, we have a cohesive staff of 13 unique and creative individuals that represent diverse areas of expertise to serve the client’s needs.
Oh, and the name?
