History
==== Wendt is Montana's oldest advertising agency. Founded in 1929 as Bird and Wendt Advertising. In six months, L.W. Wendt became the sole owner, changing the name to Wendt Advertising. The Great Depression followed almost immediately. Wendt moved the business to his home where he and his copywriter, Zelma Hay, kept the company alive during the next decade selling advertising specialties.

Despite tough economic times, the organization prospered and soon became a full-service agency involved in almost every aspect of advertising, from creating a Great Falls Beer window display in 1940 to testing recipes for Montana Flour Mills’ cookbooks in 1946 to researching the Journals of Lewis and Clark for a 1966 Union Oil Company film. By the end of the century, it was among the top 5% of agencies nationwide. The new millennium saw the agency continue to grow and expand as it gained clients across the Northwest and into the Southwest. ====
