Great clients, a great team and an even better evening.

We’re fortunate at 3PS to work alongside some incredible people and organizations, and nights like this are a great reminder that the relationships behind the work are just as important as the work itself.

A big thank you to our clients who joined us for dinner last night — and to our 3PS team for everything they do every day. We’re grateful for the trust, partnership and good company around this table!

A great way to spend an evening at The Greenbrier. 🥂

A great day at the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting & Business Summit!

Our 3PS team is enjoying connecting with business and community leaders from across the state and hearing from today’s lineup of speakers on the opportunities, challenges and priorities shaping West Virginia’s future.

Always valuable to spend time with the people and organizations working to move our state forward — and we’re looking forward to another great day tomorrow!

We’re grateful for partners who believe in the power of higher education. 🎓

Thank you to the Appalachian Power (APCo) Foundation for its generous $30,000 investment in WVICU and the students we serve. This support helps expand scholarship opportunities, strengthen student success, and invest in the future workforce of West Virginia.

Partnerships like this make a lasting difference, and we’re proud to work alongside organizations that are committed to creating opportunities for students across our six member institutions.

A few snapshots from our Fourth of July weekend. 🇺🇸

From Ferris wheels and fireworks to cookouts, pool days, and time with family, our team enjoyed celebrating across West Virginia.

We hope you had a safe, relaxing holiday weekend. Here’s to a great week ahead!

Country roads, mountain views, family traditions, and communities that feel like home.

On West Virginia Day, we’re celebrating the state we love and the people who make it special. At 3PS, our work takes us to every corner of West Virginia—from the Capitol to small-town main streets, from industry sites and college campuses to local businesses and community events. But beyond the work, West Virginia is where we raise our families, build relationships, and create lasting memories.

We’re proud to call the Mountain State home and grateful for the opportunity to serve the organizations, industries, and communities that help move West Virginia forward.

From our 3PS family to yours, Happy West Virginia Day! 💙💛⛰️

Shout out to our Director of Communications and Advocacy Whitney Wetzel for receiving the honor of Generation Next 40 under 40. We enjoyed a ceremony in Clarksburg, WV with other recipients.

Whitney is vital to our success and the success of our clients. Her professional touch and organization allows us to manage complex issues for our clients. She gives us the ability to communicate effectively.

Congratulations Whitney! We are honored and grateful to have you part of the 3PS family!

(P.S. Whitney’s fiancé CJ Harvey was also honored. What a blessing to celebrate them both!)

Keeping up with the issues that matter to our clients means showing up wherever the conversation is happening.

This week, our government affairs team is attending the West Virginia Legislative Interim Meetings in Canaan Valley, staying connected to the policy developments that impact businesses, industries, and communities across the state.

Tonight’s reception at Blackwater Falls offered an opportunity to connect with lawmakers, stakeholders, and friends from across West Virginia while spending time with our families and enjoying one of the state’s most iconic views.

We believe strong public policy starts with strong relationships. That’s the West Virginia way, and it’s a big part of who we are at 3PS.

Behind every recognition is a story of hard work, sacrifice, faith and the people who supported the journey.

It was a special evening celebrating Ben Beakes and the West Virginia Executive Sharp Shooters Class of 2026. We’re grateful to have had the opportunity to share this moment with Ben and his family and to celebrate alongside so many leaders who are helping shape West Virginia’s future.

Those of us who have the privilege of working alongside Ben every day know this recognition is well deserved.

Ben is the kind of leader who celebrates others’ successes, invests in relationships and never hesitates to step up when someone needs help. His vision has built more than a successful company—it has created opportunities for clients, colleagues and communities across West Virginia.

Congratulations, Ben, on being named to West Virginia Executive’s Sharp Shooters Class of 2026. We’re proud to be part of the team you’ve built! 🧡

“God designed my path the way He did on purpose. There were moments I doubted, but I remained faithful and listened to my wife, Sarah, and now I get the blessing of seeing how His plan was, in fact, perfect—and He isn’t done with me.”

Meet Ben Beakes, owner, founder and managing member of 3PS, LLC, a Charleston-based government affairs and public relations firm, recognized in the Sharp Shooters Class of 2026. After taking a leap of faith to launch the company with his wife in 2015, Ben has grown 3PS from a one-person operation into a thriving business serving clients across a wide range of industries, all while remaining committed to faith, family and community service.

Congratulations, Ben!
