Branding the WV Energy Expo

The Stick Company is excited to have continued our partnership and sponsorship with the 2017 WV Energy Expo. This year’s expo recently made some branding changes, as the event was previously known as the WV Oil and Gas Expo, which focused solely on the Marcellus and Utica natural gas and oil activity. However, with the recent focus on the need for all forms of domestic energy, the event evolved and secured new co-hosting partners with West Virginia Department of Commerce and the West Virginia Economic Development Council.

These new co-hosts have allowed the event to broaden its audience to support all energy throughout the region, and promote the growth and development of our local economy. The event is also driven as a very supportive and ‘pro-industry’ networking event, in addition to showcasing regional companies in the tradeshow.

With the name change of the event also came a new logo and marketing push. Because the annual event has been going on since 2011, the overall look and theme did not want to change but needed to evolve into a logo that was appealing to all forms of energy. The Stick Company created the updated brand, along with a variety of initial marketing materials including postcards, brochure, envelopes, hardhat stickers and exhibitor packets. The website was also updated to reflect the updated brand.

In addition to the marketing efforts, our team worked with Progressive Industries, of Morgantown, WV, to design and fabricate an 8’ kiosk for the event to take around to various events promoting the Expo. The kiosk was fabricated to allow (4) panels to slide down into a frame for easy updating and swapping of artwork. The kiosk features a 32” TV that allows for a digital message to be utilized, as well.

In addition to the co-host partners, The Stick Company joins a few fellow friends and clients for the event including Clear Mountain Bank, Preston County EDA, Morgantown Area Economic Partnership, Accelerated Construction, and Anderson Excavating to name a few. For more on the WV Energy Expo, be sure to visit their website at www.WVEnergyExpo.com for more details. The event is being hosted on October 4, 2017, at Mylan Park in the Hazel and JW Ruby Community Center in Morgantown, West Virginia. A vendor reception is to be held on October 3, so be sure to sign up as an exhibitor or sponsor to attend this great networking event.
