The WV Rescue Drive is a regional campaign to help our local organizations, rescues and shelters find their animals a home this holiday season, and The Stick Co is proud to be helping them out.

Everyone deserves a home for the holidays, and our local rescue animals are no different! The WV Rescue Drive encourages and challenges our local businesses to all join together, and help create a social media frenzy, that will not only raise the awareness of these animals and organizations, but hopefully find as many of them homes as possible.

For more information, visit wvrescuedrive.com and see if you can help an animal find a home this holiday season.

Operation Welcome Home is an employment resource center that assists veterans and their family members in transitioning to the civilian workforce, and it’s one of our favorite organizations here at The Stick Co.

We were happy to help produce the above video about the organization, and encourage you to learn more about them at their website.

Camp Dawson, a West Virginia Army National Guard and training facility, recently contacted The Stick Company to create a couple of enlarged photo murals for their hallways. Our team discussed the overall original goals of the Military facility, and then saw an opportunity to present some additional updated designs for the various wall wraps: a series of historical photos featuring imagery throughout the history of Camp Dawson. Together with their team, we created an oversized lobby wall wrap to serve as an eye-catching WOW factor when entering the building.

The combined efforts of both The Stick Company and Camp Dawson resulted in an eye-catching custom designed wall wrap that followed the original mural concepts, but added various design details to pull it all together for a seamless and efficient on-site installation of the custom military wall wraps.

Camp Dawson was established in 1909 in Preston County along the Cheat River. Camp Dawson is an ideal site for military training and conferences, while also offering rugged mountainous regions for specialized training. Camp Dawson is the home of the Mountaineer Challenge Academy, which helps train and mentor selected at-risk youth to become contributing members of society.

For the 2nd year in a row, The Stick Company, partnered with Triple S Harley Davidson, will be co-hosting the Ride For Children’s Hospital charity ride benefiting WVU Medicine Children’s. The ride will take place on Saturday, August 24, 2019 with registration beginning at Triple S Harley Davidson until noon, and then will venture throughout the region on a scenic tour of the countryside. The ride will include stops at Stone House Restaurant in Farmington, PA, The Green Turtle in Deep Creek, MD and conclude at Tropics in Morgantown.

However, maybe the most impactful stop on the ride is the initial stop on-site at WVU Medicine Children’s. This stop not only sets the tone for the ride in helping our riders understand the impact they have on the hospital, but also demonstrates to the staff and patients of the hospital a new level of support and encouragement as our convoy can be seen (and heard) entering Ruby’s campus.

This year, Ride for Children’s Hospital welcomes a title sponsor for the event, Compass Realty, of Morgantown, WV. Compass Realty is a Morgantown real estate agency dedicated to making the process of selling and buying real estate an easy one, and are committed to providing premier services to all of their clients. You can learn more about Compass Realty, as well as meet their team, on their website www.compass-realtygroup.com.

The ride also welcomes Black Diamond Equipment Rental and ATI Industries as sponsors of the event, in addition to our continued partnership with the Eight Eight Six Foundation and WCLG Rocks. Together, we can make a difference. Be sure to join us for the 2nd annual Ride for Children’s Hospital as we will be raising funds to directly support the expansion of the new WVU Medicine Children’s facility in Morgantown. Our goal is to ensure that the team at Children’s can continue to provide the best care for the women and children of our region.

To learn more about Ride for Children’s Hospital, be sure to check out the event’s website at www.Ride4KidsWV.com.

Interested in getting involved? We got you. Simply download our event brochure and view the various ways you can help make a difference.

While our team’s initial reaction was to instantly become nervous when we saw a call from the dentist, our anxiety quickly turned to excitement at the opportunity to partner with the Monongalia County Health Department on the design, branding and wrapping of their newest division – The Smile Express. Smile Express is a mobile dental office providing excellent dental care throughout the community, while also working to educate and inform our community on the benefits of good dental hygiene. Our team was tasked in creating the overall branding and look for the vehicle, that would ensure that the Smile Express was recognizable throughout the community. Our Senior Designer, Maria Ashenfelder, worked closely with the Smile Express team to create the design concept, logo, and RV wrap design, all reflecting a fun, modern and eye-catching design that allows the mobile dentist office to be appealing to all ages.

Once the design phase was complete, the vehicle was pulled into our garage for the full exterior makeover, which features a custom full vehicle wrap front to back and top to bottom. The installation, which was overseen by our Wrap Division Manager Jarrod Miller, took nearly a week to apply, including over 200ft of vehicle wrap material onto the vehicle, while molding to all of the RV’s unique configurations. The final product is an eye-catching and engaging mobile dental office featuring a full vehicle wrap with custom design.

The Smile Express provides services throughout North Central West Virginia including Morgantown, Fairmont, Bridgeport, Clarksburg and beyond. They focus on school-aged children and adults who need assistance with access to dental care. Their fantastic traveling team consists of a dentist, public health dental hygienist and a dental assistant. To learn more about the Smile Express, be sure to visit their website at https://www.monchd.org/smile-express.html or follow their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/mchdsmileexpress/.

For over 12 years, The Stick Company has been dedicated to creating and enhancing a company’s brand identity through graphic design, website development and vehicle wraps. Now, our agency is excited to announce the launch of our Digital Division, allowing us to take your brand a step further through the addition of such services as Search Engine Optimization, Social Media and Videography. These services are now a vital tool for our customers to compete in today’s online environment and allow our team to enhance our customer’s digital brand experience.

To help with the expansion, The Stick Company has made some changes and additions to the team to grow this division. Matthew J. Darnell, the agency’s Senior Programmer, has been promoted to the Director of Digital within the agency, combining his years of experience with website development, content and design. Matthew (also known as MJD if you are lucky), will help oversee our digital expansion to ensure our projects are achieving a new level of user experience for our customer’s online and digital brand.

“I’m so glad we’re doing this,” said Darnell. “The expansion of our digital division is going to allow us to better meet our clients’ needs. These are the things they ask for, and now, we’re better able to help them meet their goals. I’m really excited about the team we’ve put together. We’re all excited about the work we do, and it’s important to us to do it well.”

In addition, the agency recently welcomed the talents of two West Virginia University Alum with the addition of Jake Shockley and Allison Stickel. Jake Shockley, a Morgantown native, brings his videography talents and experience to the team, pushing the growth of our video services. Video has become one of the most successful tools in today’s digital environment, allowing you to engage customers, and tell your company’s story quickly and easily. We are dedicated to providing quality brand films, interviews and social media content without an unrealistic price tag. These videos can be used to grow your company’s website content, as well as engage your social media audience.

And that is exactly where Allison Stickel, the agency’s Digital Strategist, can expand your brand to new audiences. Allison, an Ohio Valley native, brings her unique talents and experience to the team, specializing in getting more traffic for your online experience. With a passion for data and analytics (yes, she is human), she takes this information and formulates the best plan for our customers based on their current online goals. Whether our customers are looking for better search engine results, conducting a recruitment campaign, or simply wanting more online traffic, Allison will help create the right plan for you.

“I am excited at the growth and addition of our digital division within the agency, and feel we have the right team and the right services to continue to best serve our client’s needs.” said Damian Ferek, President of The Stick Company. “From day one, we have focused our agency’s services on being a leading branding agency with our design, website and wrapping services. Now, our new digital division will complement these services and allow our customers to reach new audiences and increase their engagement to achieve the best online experience possible. As a branding agency, our goal is to ensure the most people are seeing your identity as possible.”

The Stick Company was honored to partner with the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties on the production of the 2020 Campaign Video. In addition to the campaign video, our team helped produce this year’s campaign chairs’ Introduction Video, shown at the United Way’s Community Leaders’ Breakfast hosted at Mon Health Medical Center. This year, the campaign is being organized by seven different bankers from within our community, including our friend Harry Hayes from Clear Mountain Bank, to form ‘Banker’s United — Invest In our Community’.

Our contribution and production of these videos was a great way to showcase the recent growth of our Videography Services, including the addition of Jake Shockley. Jake is an extremely talented Videographer who deserves all the credit for the production and quality of the videos.

“Working with The Stick Co. to do our United Way 2020 Campaign Video was an amazing experience! They were easy to work with and quickly responded to our questions. And the video itself? Wow! It was so professional, and the quality was superb. We debuted it at our Community Leaders’ Breakfast, and the response was so positive, with people telling us it brought on a wave of emotions and how it was the best campaign video in years. Working with Damian and Jake was a dream. Thank you so much!”
– Amanda Posey
Director of Marketing and Communications
United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties

Like any successful project, it required a great team effort to bring this year’s campaign video to fruition, and we appreciate all of the hard work, creativity and dedication from the team at The United Way, Eric Minor – Director of Student Careers and Opportunities at West Virginia University, and all of the Media Embracing the Community support teams.

We look forward to expanding and strengthening our partnership with the United Way moving forward.

The Stick Company would like to recognize the talented and wonderful Ondrea Yoho on the completion of her summer internship. Ondrea hit the ground running, just a few short months ago, and instantly became a valuable member of our team helping with a variety of design and client needs including her contributions to our own internal marketing needs. In addition to her creativity, we certainly utilized her friendly and vibrant personality in being our front line with communication for visitors and customers.

And while we are generally never the type to pick favorites, it was nearly unanimous that Ondrea is officially our team’s All-Time Favorite Intern! The only opposed voice coming from our Wrap Division Manager – Jarrod Miller – who, until recently, had previously (self-proclaimed) that distinct honor from his internship back in 2008. Little does Jarrod know that even his own beloved canine sidekick, Murphy, agreed with Ondrea’s well-deserved distinction.

From all of us at The Stick Company, we wish Ondrea the best of luck in her Junior year at West Virginia University where she is majoring in Design Studies with a Minor in Business Administration. Hopefully her internship with our eclectic team does not have her rethinking her career too much!

Be sure to come back and visit!

One of the most iconic design elements we get to work with is the American Flag, and our team at The Stick Company does so with great honor. In observance of this year’s Independence Day, our team took a look back on a few of our favorite patriotic projects that feature our client’s love for our country. These projects include some of the biggest projects we have done including a 40+ foot fuel tanker wrap for KML Trucking in Bridgeport, WV, to one of the smallest with a custom cranial band/helmet wrap for our little friend. And of course, a few things in between, including a vehicle wrap for American Homes, equipment wraps for East Coast Underground, website design for Wilson Works Inc, and a new logo and identity package for Top Gun Sealcoating.

“We are the land of the free, thanks to the brave. Let’s pay tribute to our American Heroes, today and everyday.” From all of us at The Stick Company, we would like to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day.

The Stick Company was honored to be a part of such a special project as the Wetzel County ‘Wall of Honor,’ located in New Martinsville, WV. The wall features the names of past and current members of all armed forces from Wetzel County. The wall is lit 24 hours a day and has a touch screen computer that will locate the person’s name that is being looked for.

The Stick Company’s Maria Ashenfelder worked to help design wall wrap graphics through the direction of American Legion Marne Post 28 to serve as an ongoing memorial, right here in our home state of West Virginia. Our Wrap Team installed the outdoor wall graphics on-site to serve as a constant reminder and memorial for all of those who serve our country.

From all of us at The Stick Company, we thank you – all of our past, present and future veterans – for your service.

The Stick Company was excited to work with Clear Mountain Bank’s Mortgage and Marketing teams to help create the new branding for their recently launched online loan application. The goal for the campaign was to take the concept of HelloHome Mortgage and create a distinct and catchy campaign that provided a mascot or iconic design element while still remaining brand consistent with the bank’s brand standards. Our team focused on a variety of concepts and directions and felt something light and fun – that was different than the traditional house icon/logo – and introduced the HelloHome dog. Once our four-legged friend was welcomed into the campaign, things all started coming together. We have even been working to fetch out some brand-consistent content to mirror the playful direction of the campaign.

While the campaign was just released in March, there have been a number of aspects created for the campaign including the logo, brand identity package, cards, brochures, videos, signage, print ads, website landing page and digital displays. A number of elements are still being introduced as the campaign gains momentum moving forward.

So, what is HelloHome?

HelloHome Mortgage, powered by Clear Mountain Bank, is your new best friend when buying a home! This online platform will guide you through the online mortgage loan application process, while taking you through the steps as quick and easy as possible. Your time is valuable and HelloHome Mortgage will have you taking a walk in the park in no time.

Learn more about HelloHome Mortgage or contact one of Clear Mountain Bank’s friendly and knowledgeable mortgage loan specialists today by visiting their site at www.clearmountainbank.com/mortgages/.

The Stick Company is excited to announce the recent addition of our newest team members joining our Wrap Division. Jimmy Nolan of Fairmont, and Steve Adkins, originally of Bridgeport, WV both joined our squad early this year, bringing their wrap experience to our installation team. Jimmy had previously owned and operated his own wrap installation company in Kentucky before relocating back to the Mountain State. And Steve… well, Steve brings an unmatched level of energy to the team, despite his quiet demeanor. Both have hit the ground running, working on a number of wrap installs for clients like East Coast Underground, Parcs Superstores and Star Furniture.

In addition, our team welcomed Ryan Huffman, of Morgantown, to the team back in 2018, helping oversee and manage our fast-paced print production (so fast, in fact, that we forgot to make this announcement). Ryan brought a wealth of installation, production and print management experience to the team, as well as a whole new genre of music for our playlist…. Instrumental Motion Picture Soundtracks (yes, really). Some days feel as though we are marching into Rome to the Gladiator soundtrack, or braving the rough seas to the smooth sound of the Pirates of the Caribbean – but, regardless, our team sails forward thanks to his organization and print scheduling.

To learn more about our three newest additions, or to learn more about our entire team, be sure to visit our team page here!

The Stick Company was excited and honored to be recognized as Morgantown’s 2019 Best Graphic Design Service, as voted by the readers of Morgantown Magazine. This was the first year the magazine included this category as part of their highly anticipated annual publication, and our team appreciates the votes and support from all of the readers (or well, at least those who voted for us. ????) This recognition is truly a reflection of all of the amazing clients, partnerships, vendors and colleagues that we have been fortunate to work with over the years, and would like to extend our sincere appreciation for your continued support and friendship.

President Damian Ferek and Wrap Division Manager Jarrod Miller were on hand on Wedesday, February 19 to receive the recognition during the Best Of Morgantown festivities at 123 Pleasant Street. The evening featured all of this year’s winners in a networking/recognition event capped by a performance by The Davisson Brothers. Though, the highlight of their night was enjoying the array of food, drinks and dessert samples from all of the other BOM winners.

And no night would be complete without a few photos from our friends at Amberlee Christey Photography and Berlee Booths Photobooths.  We would also like to congratulate our friend, and photography partner, Amberlee Christey Photography on being selected as the 2019 Best Photographer in Morgantown. If you have not seen Amberlee’s work, be sure to visit her website at www.AmberleeChristey.com.

We would also like to give a shout out to our friends and clients at Clear Mountain Bank, Farmhouse Cafe, Pro Performance, Jamie Summerlin and Classic Cutz Barbershop for their recognition, as well as WVU Medicine Children’s on receiving the award for the Best Fundraising Event for their annual gala.

Our team would like to thank everyone at the Morgantown Magazine for all of their work and dedication to this region, and their ability to put out such a great publication year after year. We love how this magazine shows the love and support of our local businesses and helps highlight all of unique businesses and success stories that are found right here in our region.

Congratulations to all of the 2019 Best of Morgantown Award Winners!

On Saturday, February 9, 2019 WVU Medicine Children’s hosted their annual fundraising gala, and while The Stick Company has been a supporter of this event for over 11 years, but this year, we were especially honored as our own Owner and President, Damian Ferek was recognized and awarded the 2019 Community Service Award. The hospital’s recognition video was played for the evening’s event attendees and featured a short overview of our team’s contributions to WVU Medicine Children’s.

The Stick Company was honored to have long-time friend and supporter, Cheryl Jones, Chief Nursing Officer of WVU Medicine Children’s, say a few words on our team’s behalf, as part of the award presentation.

Following the video, Damian was present to take the podium so that he could deliver some words of appreciation, as well.

“Growing up in a small town like Carmichaels, PA, you are taught two things. 1) Work hard – each and every day, and 2) Get involved in anything and everything. When we opened our company in 2007 in Morgantown, we strived to do exactly that. Fast forward 12 years later, and while we are honored to receive this recognition, we feel we are just getting started. We would certainly like to thank all of our team, our partners, the WVU Medicine Children’s Development office and all of the Morgantown community for your support throughout the years.”

For those that might not be aware, The Stick Company has partnered with WVU Medicine Children’s from our inaugural year when we quickly became involved with the annual Gala. From there, our team has helped support a number of campaigns and initiatives over the years, as well as helped launch a few of our own alongside our sister company, Stick Tattoo. Campaigns include Tats For Tots, Rockin’ Toy Drive, and the recent Ride For Kids WV. In 2015, Damian, along with VP Kim Johnson, volunteered to co-chair the Annual Gala, as well.

We at The Stick Company were honored and humbled to have received this recognition, and appreciate the continued support of all of our friends and family and the Morgantown community. A special thanks to all of the team at WVU Medicine Children’s for, not only the recognition, but for the continued dedication, services and care you continue to provide the region.

The Stick Company is proud to showcase one of our recent projects for WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital with the branding campaign for their annual fundraising gala. Each year, the gala presents a new theme for the invitations an decor, of which this year is The Land of Oz.

The Stick Company’s Senior Designer, Maria Ashenfelder, spearheaded the project creating the event’s overall look and appearance and then carried the design throughout the entire campaign. The project included a number of print elements including save the date cards, custom invitations, event program and signage. There was even yellow brick road, over 400 feet long, that served as the entrance to the gala.

In addition to the print items, The Stick Company created the custom website for the event featuring various information and details, as well as sponsorship opportunities and online ticket sales. To view the website be sure to visit www.WVUCHGala.com.

About the Gala:

A black-tie event, the annual WVU Medicine Children’s Gala took place on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019. The Gala, now in its 16th year, included a cocktail reception, silent auction, live entertainment, and dinner. The evening will began at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception. During this time, guests had the opportunity to bid on many wonderful auction items. The WVU Medicine Children’s program was followed by dinner and a live auction. The evening was topped off by spectacular live entertainment.

If you have not been to one of the WVU Medicine Children’s Galas, we strongly encourage you to consider this event in the future.

About Stick:

The Stick Company has been a supporter of WVU Medicine Children’s since 2007 when we first opened. Since then, we have had the pleasure of working with the institution on a number of events and fundraisers, including Co-Chairing the 2015 Annual Gala. We are excited to enter our 11th year in designing and supporting the gala.

For the second year in a row, The Stick Company was honored to work with the Morgantown Area Chamber of Commerce to produce this year’s Business Award Videos. This year, eight separate award videos were created to feature the various recognition awarded to its members. Our team worked closely with both the team at the Chamber, and the award winners, to ensure we were able to present an award video that captured the essence of the company, while remaining budget friendly to the chamber. Each video was approximately 5 minutes in length and featured a number of testimonials and interviews by local community leaders.

The videos were then presented at the annual Morgantown Area Chamber of Commerce banquet held at the Morgantown Event Center at Waterfront Place. In addition to the award videos, The Stick Company also helped produce the video award sponsorship videos, as well as the year in review slideshow.

We have included a sample of the award videos below, and you can see all of them at the Morgantown Chamber’s website. From all of us at The Stick Company, we would like to wish a huge congratulations to all of the 2019 Award Winners, and thank you for your help in creating your award videos.

Top Gun Sealcoating recently partnered with The Stick Company to create a brand identity package for their startup company. Located in Martinsburg, West Virginia, The Stick Company had worked with members of Top Gun previously and were excited at the opportunity to help kickstart their marketing efforts. Based on their previous experience in the United States Military as pilots, the team had fun naming their company Top Gun Sealcoating, and wanted an identity that reflected their Veteran-Owned company, but also created their own distinct logo and branding moving forward.

Once the logo was created, The Stick Company worked to create a set of business cards, construction site signage and branded company merchandise to help feature the new brand identity. A custom website was also created to showcase the various services of the company, along with photos and case studies. The images were also used to help kick-start the 2019 social media push the company is planning during the winter months.

Our experience with STICK has been excellent. We have used several of their services and each and everyone was managed efficiently and professionally, exceeding our expectations. The STICK team evaluated our budget from a start-up to an entry level business and created the exact imagery we had dreamed of! If you are a results driven organization, STICK is the real deal.

– Jake Jenkins, Co-Owner
