Hey!I'm Chad if you didn't know by the giant headline on the menu.The last 15 years I've built brands and launched cultural moments at Ogilvy, Meta, TikTok, and Cash App. I'm a generalist CD who loves every part of the process: the brief, the concept, the partner, the shotlist, the caption, the interview... you get it.I lead with cultural instinct and back it up with strategy. Some of my best work started not with a brief but with a relationship, a tweet, or a hunch that something could be bigger than anyone had imagined yet.Outside of work you can find me a little too often at the Bode store or vintage shops, still going to the movie theater, going on reading retreats, or walking the runway at a few fashion shows. (And no, we aren’t playing two truths and a lie there.)I hope the work excites you and starts a conversation for us.
