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.

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.

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.
