Founded in 2014 as a Pennsylvania-based collective of creatives, Coal Creative operates out of Wilkes-Barre under Founder and Chief Creative Officer Gerard Durling. The agency works across video, web, design, social, and brand strategy for clients that include Quantum Rehab, the F. M. Kirby Center, and Coterra Energy — a mix of entertainment and energy organizations with distinct storytelling needs.
Services span video that is planned, shot, and edited; full-scale website development for brands going online for the first time or rebuilding an existing site; design work focused on graphics and visual assets; and social media built on established tactics. Edutainment campaigns combine education and entertainment within a single message, and Brand Voice Workshops give clients a starting point for consistent messaging across future work.
Project examples reflect that range. Coal Creative produced a five-minute cinematic documentary for Quantum Rehab, redesigned the website for the F. M. Kirby Center, and created billboards along with magazine and newspaper ads for Coterra Energy. The agency describes its mission simply as telling stories that matter, carried out through production, design, and digital work rather than a single specialty.
