Chad Temples
is a creative director, photographer, and aspiring freestyle canoeist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

That’s me. I’m him.

Once, I was driving home late at night on the back roads of rural Georgia, when out of nowhere a large black helicopter landed in the middle of a soybean field. A shadowy figure wearing nothing but a raccoon skin cap exited the aircraft and skipped like a schoolboy into the oak trees. I often wonder where he is now. Anyhoo! 

I have a real soft spot for pristinely dumb ideas and fried soft-shell crabs. When I’m not working and also when I am, I spend my time raising three kids and tending to a growing collection of decrepit film cameras. 

Wanna work together, or discuss the sublime perfection of the REM record Automatic for the PeopleBeep me.

Some things I’ve enjoyed lately:

︎Welcome to Pine Point
︎B*tch I’m Lugubrious
︎Judith Joy Ross
︎Blowback
︎Steven Segal SNL Supercut

Pitched and won the Korbel account with the fine folk at Carmichael Lynch. The classic “California Champagne” had become synonymous with “Cheap Hangover.” We helped them refocus on the point of champagne... celebrating stuff. Little stuff. Big stuff. Stuff we forget to celebrate. Hell, we even celebrated celebrating. Turns out the sound of an emoji can be a tagline 🥂
