ABOUT ME

Driven by a passion to make a significant impact.

Chad Addie understands the challenges of building a creative career from the ground up because he's successfully navigated that path himself. Today, as the CEO of Karben Studios, he empowers imaginative minds across various fields to realize their dreams through coaching, SEO, graphic design, and marketing. Since its inception in 2016, Karben Studios has expanded to include Karben Marketing and Karben MGMT. Karben Marketing delivers top-notch graphic design and marketing services to multiple companies, while Karben MGMT represents renowned artists like DJ Shawna, the official DJ of the Milwaukee Bucks, and Tanner Howe, a pop singer featured on NBC's The Voice.

Chad's diverse background equips him with a deep understanding of his clients' unique needs. While studying graphic design and marketing in college, he founded his first company, a clothing brand, collaborating with musicians, UFC fighters, and models. The brand's national and international acclaim catapulted his entrepreneurial career. Over the years, Chad has worked with a wide range of industries, from startups to Fortune 500 companies, earning his agency numerous awards for web development, digital and social media marketing, graphic design, and more.
