The only way this story could be more cliche is if the company started in a garage. But it's too darn hot in Phoenix.
Chedward is the brainchild of Chad Rose, who has spent over 25 years helping countless start-ups and giant companies grow with creative story telling. Much of that was done in the deep dark world of marketing agencies. He has the scars to show it. Why did he endure the beatings, egos, and endless meetings? To see companies like yours and talented people like you grow and thrive. In the end, that’s what matters…
People often ask Chad and the team how much coffee they have a day because they are so fired up and happy. Not much! The truth is another cliche that is actually true: When you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.
Chedward is 100% virtual, lean, and awesome, staffed by industry experts who have seen it all. We build your stories and inspire your audiences. Your budget goes to results, not offices, team outings (free booze!), and most of all, the pockets of agency blowhards who never touch your account.
Let’s do the right thing, underpromise and overdeliver, keep things in perspective, celebrate success, and be our beautiful selves.
Chedward started when a friend asked if Chad could side-hustle a new healthcare start-up with initial branding, go-to-market strategy, and messaging. Then, another friend reached out for help telling the story of a new product. Then, one fateful day, the VP of Marketing at one of the largest companies you have never heard of asked Chad to build a four-hour interactive presentation for an annual conference. Next thing Chad knew, he was crafting stories for the CEO.
The chance to leave agency nonsense, and overhead behind and do meaningful work was ripe for the taking. Encouraged by the results, seeing people and companies grow, and a wife who said, “you have to do this,” the side hustle became a full-time gig. Hello, Chedward! We know the only way this story could be more cliche is if the company started in a garage. But it's too darn hot in Phoenix..
