Marketing and consulting agency, WD Strategies develops new digital platform for the West Virginia Creative Network, connecting artists statewide to art resources, networks, and career opportunities

HARRISBURG, PA / ACCESS Newswire / April 15, 2026 / WD Strategies, a Pennsylvania-based marketing and consulting agency, led the development and launch of the West Virginia Creative Network platform, a new statewide digital platform designed to connect and support artists across West Virginia.

The initiative, led by the West Virginia Creative Network and supported by the Appalachian Regional Commission's POWER Initiative, aims to strengthen the state's creative economy by improving access to resources, professional networks, and career opportunities for artists.

As the primary development partner, WD Strategies designed and built the platform's core infrastructure, including the Creative Network Membership Program and a searchable statewide artist directory. The platform serves creatives working in visual, literary, performance, design, and craft fields and provides a centralized hub where artists can connect with peers, increase the visibility of their work, and access business and professional development resources.

The platform is now live at https://wvcreativenetwork.org/ and has already welcomed more than 250 members from across the state.

WD Strategies was selected for its experience developing digital platforms that support membership programs, community engagement, and resource sharing. The firm worked closely with project partners to build the technical infrastructure and continues to support the rollout of the new platform.

"Building a website is easier than ever nowadays, but building a successful online business is a whole other story," says Joey DiGangi, WD Strategies' COO. "Our goal is to deliver the functionalities, infrastructure, and ongoing support to help the West Virginia artist community thrive online."

The West Virginia Creative Network aims to grow its membership statewide and nationally and serve as a central hub connecting artists with opportunities, resources, and one another. The platform is designed to support more than 1,600 artists by increasing visibility and strengthening professional networks.
