About

By day, we are analysts, artists, business growth consultants, creative directors, data geeks, designers, developers, photographers, and writers at Weidenhammer. One day while swapping personal recommendations, we had a collective, “Huzzah!” moment. 

We support clients telling their stories every day to help them grow smarter and faster. Why couldn’t we tell stories of our favorite local people and places to share good vibes with others who may not know them, while deepening our local network connections?  

We asked our founder, John Weidenhammer, for permission to launch this public service venture on Weidenhammer’s dime, and he enthusiastically agreed. (Not surprising given how dedicated he and our company have been supporting local people and causes since 1978.) 

We committed to building more than a typical blog site. We would leverage our years of experience in television, radio, and print journalism coupled with our superpowers in social influencing and digital marketing – focused by our dedication to local business and charitable support. 

The next question was, “Where do we start?” 

If we were going to tell feelgood stories, we needed to focus on businesses and organizations with highly visual story potential, that would be of interest to the most people. Naturally, our minds went immediately to Feelgood Food & Beverage brands, and Spork was born. 

Soon, we will be launching channels for: 

Arts & Entertainment 

Education & Nonprofits 

Sports & Outdoors 

Travel & Hospitality 

You’ll be able to view and subscribe to each of them here, but until then, we’re seeking the best local stories in food and beverage here in Pennsylvania and the Tri-State area.
