Agency in a nutshell
- Launched in 2014
- 90% virtual
- Highly adaptable
- Staffed with industry verterans who love the work


It was July 2014
After spending 20+ years working for and with multinational ad agencies, Todd Anthony started Pinwheel to be a counterpoint to that big agency model. Instead of hiring juniors and working them to death, we’d hire senior-level people and advocate for work/life balance. Instead of having rigid processes and myriad layers, we’d adapt to our clients and have them work directly with the talent. Instead of relying mostly on full-time employees, we’d hire freelance industry experts who know the client’s industry already. The clients liked the approach.
What we are today
We are 30+ writers, designers, editors, strategists, SEO experts, and developers from all around the country (and Europe) who thrive in ambiguous and fast-paced environments. We meet our client marketing partners where they are, organize around their goals, and work hand in glove with them to move the ball forward.
What you get
With senior creative talent, you get a better client experience with smarter ideas, less static in projects, fewer cycles, and quicker turnarounds. We help make you (and your department) look like heroes.
Our people
Meet the team
We’re the same creative talent, strategists, and project management brains you’d pay top dollar for at big shops.
Our deep bench of collaborators
Every collaborator is handpicked for their talent, integrity, reliability, and industry knowledge.
They take a front seat on client projects and are niche experts across a broad range of industries — from consumer finance, healthcare, and recruitment to technology, fitness, and insurance. Many of our contractors have been with Pinwheel since day one (some have even joined us in-house). And we’re always adding hot new talents to the crew.

Our values
Dedicated to the work
If you want the agency “smoke show” with the fancy duds and swanky office, we’re not the shop for you. We’re creative thinkers who live for the work, love overcoming challenges, and truly enjoy helping clients be more successful as individuals and as companies. We listen harder and dive deeper than other agencies can, or are willing to.
Acting with integrity
We choose our clients as carefully as we choose our team. Because in the end, how we do business — and who we do business with — is a reflection of our character. And character is all we really have in life. We tell the truth and do the right thing, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or expensive. We never try to “persuade” you to do anything that’s not wholly and completely in your best interest.
