A Pittsburgh Digital Marketing
Agency Focused On You.

Growing up, there are two things Paul wanted to be: A jet fighter pilot and a rock star.

When the time came, he passed on the Air Force Academy and his parents frowned on the rock star idea, so he put that on hold for a while.

Instead, Paul became a journalist, writing more than 10,000 stories and editing another 10,000 over a 20-year career covering everything from murders to the White House (but not murders in the White House).

After a brief foray into politics (Sen. Paul Simon’s presidential campaign), Paul entered the agency business with Ketchum Public Relations. He then founded WordWrite, developed the trademarked StoryCrafting process, and wrote his book, Finding Your Capital S Story.

At Vendilli, Paul is chief storyteller, working with clients to uncover, develop and share their great untold stories through messaging, public relations and strategy. Paul helps them answer these fundamental questions: Why would someone buy from them, work for them, invest in them or partner with them?

As a storyteller accustomed to sharing stories in difficult situations, Paul is also the team’s go-to on crisis communications. In any year, Paul and the team handle a dozen crises, ten you never hear about, and two that are all over the news.

About that rock star dream … Paul has played in as many as three bands at a time. He’s happily settled into playing bass with his favorite, The Altered Egos, who perform about 40 shows a year in and around Pittsburgh.

 Jeremy has spent nearly 30 years as a professional communicator at a public relations agency, law firm, performing arts organization, private boarding school, and two newspapers.
Prior to joining Vendilli, he served as an agency operations lead and director of media and content strategies for a decade.
In those roles, Jeremy developed byline articles, talking points, executive speeches, media pitches, narratives, strategic plans, crisis plans, and just about every other type of written content.
Away from the office, he has more than 25 years of experience coaching ice hockey at the youth, high school, and prep school levels. A dozen of his former players earned Division I scholarships, and one reached the NHL.
Jeremy spent 15 years playing ice hockey at the youth, high school, prep school, Junior A, and collegiate levels.
He resides in Mt. Lebanon with his wife Rebecca, and two sons, Addison and Cooper. Jeremy has been a member of the Mt. Lebanon Community Foundation since 2015 and varsity ice hockey coach at Mt. Lebanon High School since 2021.
He is a graduate of Ohio University’s E.W. Scripps School of Journalism after spending two years at Hobart (N.Y.) College, where he was a member of the school’s NCAA Division III men’s hockey team. 

Located in the frozen tundra known as Canada, Mike has been near constantly attached to computers from a young age. He graduated the "Interactive Media Design - Web" course in 2018 from Georgian College and has had experience working for multiple agencies over the past few years, picking up more skills and learning on the job. He finds the best way to learn new skills is though trial and error, and also has experience working in Photoshop and Lightroom from a past stint in Photography.

Outside of work, you can usually find him either keeping active visiting his parent’s place and using their home gym, or being lazy and lounging around his apartment. Depends on the day really. One thing that is a constant is music. Whether he is working, hiking or playing games, there is always music in the background.

With roots tracing back to the southwest like a tumbleweed, Chris navigated through the North and Midwest states before establishing a sense of permanence in Pittsburgh at the age of 18. He pursued his passion for creativity and design by enrolling at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design. Around 2015, Chris taught himself how to build websites, and the learning process has been contagious ever since. In 2018, he joined Imagebox, specializing in WordPress development—flipping websites like hamburgers with tight deadlines. Throughout this period, Chris developed skills in client and team collaboration while managing projects, balancing budgets, writing code, and occasionally designing a logo here and there.

When Chris isn't occupied with building websites or reluctantly pulled into camping trips by friends, he opts for the tranquility of home. He spends his time with his cat, attempting (and often failing) to finish reading books, experimenting with cooking meals, watching sports, comedy, or tuning into geopolitics debates, and constantly resisting the urge to buy basketball cards.
