AUGUST 4, 2010 The entire Wrecking Crew team was given a private tour of the new Consol Energy Center by Pittsburgh Penguins Director of Marketing Ross Miller. We toured the entire facility form the clubs and concourses to the Pens locker room. It was a great time for all of us. Wrecking Crew Media began work with the Pens 2 years ago focusing on their TV commercial production and post. Since then we have collaborated with the Pens marketing department on over 15 spots. We look forward to working with our friends at the Pens again this season.

Preserving the PENS Goal Horn
June 1, 2010
At the close of the 2009-2010 Pittsburgh Penguins season, I went to Mellon Arena for the last time to record the sound of the PENS’ official GOAL Horn. The marketing team at the Pittsburgh Penguins asked me to record the sound of the Horn to use it for future PENS commercials and other media projects.
While I was there, pieces of the arena were being taken down, the ice was already removed, the scoreboard was being disassembled, and the Horn was about to be moved to the new Consol Energy Center. It was a very cool experience.
A Benefit for Animal Friends
June 21, 2010
I recently shot the images for the Animal Friends’ Benefit poster and marketing materials through my photography company, Klick Images. Animal Friends asked me to work on this project because they liked the poster I shot for the Five Days of Art Event that took place at the last Gallery Crawl. I’m happy to sponsor this non-profit event.

The National H.s. Musical Theater Awards.
June 23, 2010 For the second year, my team and I will travel to New York City to capture the on-goings of the NHSMTAs, also known as the Jimmy Awards. This national event brings together high school musical theater students to learn, perform, and compete for a full scholarship New York University’s Drama School.
Wrecking Crew will follow the students as they attend master classes with Broadway teachers, learn a new show, and perform in front of the judges at the Marquis Theater on Broadway. WCM will create a video to be played the night of the performance that documents the week. Additionally, the material will be used to generate awareness for next year’s event through marketing materials.
We started working on this project because of our close relationship with the Pittsburgh CLO and our success at the Gene Kelly Awards. Check out the highlights from last year www.youtube.com/user/nhsmta#p/a/u/2/YI96dqFVjvs

A MESSAGE from WCM PRESIDENT JC CARTER
June 23, 2010
Hello and welcome to the new Wrecking Crew Media website. On our homepage the words "Welcome to Our World" appear, big and bold. A world where many of you reading this have helped create. So first thank you to all our clients who have supported and worked with us in the last 6 years. This website is for you.
We worked long and hard with the team at Lava New Media who designed and made this site come to life. Thanks to Dave, Tom, Ed and the whole team.
Thank you to Kristen and Pittsburgh CLO for refering us to Lava and making us part of the CLO family for many years.
Thank you to all of the friends and clients who gave advice, took a look and helped me make this site and WCM better.
And last to Dana, Jessica, Josh, Rick and Ken. I never imagined having such a talented and inspiring group of people to work with everyday. I can never thank you all enough.
