WHM Creative

Based in Oakland and serving the wider Bay Area, this small agency positions itself as a full-service B2B marketing and advertising specialist, working with companies whose products or messaging require deep explanation—think analyst white papers, multi-part video series, and webinars featuring subject-matter experts. Clients referenced in its portfolio include Palo Alto Networks, Google Cloud, Menlo Security, Qlik, and Boxer & Gerson, spanning enterprise technology, cybersecurity, and legal services. The team is small, in the 1-10 range, which fits its emphasis on close, in-depth engagement with each brand rather than high-volume account handling. The agency's declared capabilities cover search engine optimization, advertising, branding, content marketing, email marketing, media planning and buying, sales outsourcing, and social media marketing, positioning it to handle both strategic and executional stages of a marketing program. Its site describes work spanning “hard-core strategy” through “blue-sky concepts” to “nitty-gritty execution,” suggesting involvement from early brand or campaign planning through to delivery. Named project examples include a product launch completed within an 86-day timeframe for Palo Alto Networks, automation-focused work for Google Cloud, a campaign for Menlo Security, and creative work aimed at making technical or specialist subject matter more engaging for target audiences, as seen in projects for Qlik and Boxer & Gerson. The agency frames its approach around translating complex, often technical B2B subject matter into creative that is intended to be distinctive rather than generic.
