Erika Bigelow

Search Associate

W/ us since December 2016

As Search Associate, Erika supports the strategists on the SEO team, creating fresh, original client content and researching and optimizing keywords and categories. In addition, she manages the Wheelhouse Generosity Day Program.

“Helpfulness is something I really appreciate and view as a gateway value. It lays the foundation for trust and reciprocity, which ultimately make people happy. I witness helpfulness daily at Wheelhouse, in our work and our behavior with our clients and in our interaction with each other, which makes Wheelhouse a great place to work.”

Professional Path
Erika comes to Wheelhouse from 9 years with Seattle’s Child Magazine, where she contributed regular articles on a variety of topics, as well as weekly and monthly columns for their Going Places section.

Personal Passions
A NW native, she loves to travel, ski, read, and run in between chauffeuring three kids (and the family dog) to more activities than she cares to think about. Oh, and she once won an Irish pub in a contest.
