Celebrating 10 Years of Design, Development & Marketing
In the last decade we have seen the creation and adoption of internet-enabled devices across all facets of our life: from our phones to the kitchen fridge. This has laid the groundwork for a new age of interaction and communication. We believe, over the next 10 years, we will be instrumental in helping to drive meaningful, mindful, and valuable engagement both online and in-person through our services and solutions.
Some of our favorite projects over the last decade have included creating a rewards application for a local building materials supplier, developing an international hotel search engine for travel agents and consumers, and designing a mobile application used to help with speech language therapy. We have also assisted a number of local and international businesses in redefining their brands online though site development and marketing. Additionally, we have enjoyed many opportunities to donate our time and resources to local Pittsburgh organizations, contributing to the beautification of our city.
The impact of a business on the individuals it employs and its surrounding community cannot be overstated. For many of us, we find meaning and joy in our work, as well as the means to pursue our passions. Being able to provide that for our team has been our greatest accomplishment. We are so grateful for our amazing team members who each play an important role in contributing to our fun-loving company culture, and make up our problem-solving team of talent.
As we enter the next phase at O2DCA, we do so optimistically. Time slows for no one, and it can slip by unnoticed. We hope to use the minutes, hours, and days set before us to make a positive effect on the clients, partners, and team members with which we engage.
Looking forward to helping you succeed,
-Aaron Melhorn

O2 Digital Creative Agency is Founded
In his final year of college, Aaron designed the initial company logo, mission statment, and started acquiring clients. We leased our first office space on Mount Washington. Located directly off the incline and within walking distance of downtown, this office allowed us to grow for 4 years
2012
Began offering hosting services
Due to the growing need for stable hosting space to house our finished prodcuts, we begin to offer hosting services to our clients, greatly reducing clients out of pocket costs and providing more stable software due to our full-stack integration
2013
App Development Services
We partnered with a local start up RhoMania and helped develop a revolutionary mobile-based wine menu. This allowed us to grow our app-development portfolio and expertise, paving the way for our current suite of app-development services, as well as our long-term relationship with Construction Junction's Big Pour.
2014
Relocated to Downtown Pittsburgh
In April of 2014, O2DCA relocated our offices to the heart of Pittsburgh allowing us to increase our exposure and expand our team.
2015
Proprietary E-Commerce Development
In 2015, we expanded our services to include e-commerce development on a large scale. Building on our previous expertise, we launched a proprietary framework for B2B e-commerce solutions and formed relationships with both X-Cart and WooCommerce as our e-commerce development partners.
2017
SalesForce Integration Services
In early 2017, due to our local partnerships with non-profits and our desire to help our clients optimize and automate various business processes, O2DCA began to offer SalesForce Integration services to existing and new clients.
2019
Transition to Full-Service Agency
As we continued to grow, we noticed our clients' need for a more wholistic approach to new and larger projects. We responded by expanding our sevices to include consultation and marketing; creating a more unified end-product and reducing overall project costs.

O2DCA Celebrates 10 Years
As 2020 comes to a close, we begin to celebrate the milestone of 10 years in business, supporting our local economy, and facilitating success for our clients along the way.
O2DCA has taught me how to approach problems of all different types and be able to solve them not only effectively, but creatively. I pride myself on going the extra mile to learn and better myself on a day to day basis and keeping my same quality, focus and dedication to my work.

I have learned the true definition of "small but mighty" and the value of working with a tight-knit team. It is an absolute joy to work with a team of talented powerhouses of knowledge and skill. I learn from them every day and I am inspired by their drive and dedication to their work.

Working with O2 has reinforced the importance of partnering with a full-service agency. As an advertiser, being able to work with in-house front-end and back-end developers puts our clients marketing goals more easily within reach.

I have been able to expand and optimize the development processes of our WordPress websites, allow customers more flexibility and creating a better end product.

You must always be ready to pivot and adapt. Nothing - especially in the web design & development industry - stays the same for long. We are always learning, growing, changing!
-Samantha Melhorn
I am privilaged to have the opportunity to work with such a talented team, and inspiring clients, day in and day out. I look forward to continue growing and cultivating our skills both corporately and individually. My largest takeaway from the last decade, is that it is not about the magnatuide of your talent, but rather the adaptability, that allows one to effect the most change in their undertakings.
