Kirk Kelley

Kirk's a big-gun Director, and not just because he's a Texan. A multi-talented designer, storyteller and restaurateur, Kirk has directed and supervised many of our premier ad campaigns since 1995. He is Supervising Creative Director for our fleet of M&M'S and Boom Beach content and brings his visually and technically innovative talent to collaborations with agencies including Barton F. Graf, TBWA\Chiat\Day's Media Arts Lab, Amalgamated and BBDO Worldwide. He has solid mastery over all storytelling mediums plus a wry sense of humor and a strong point of view. His sense of composition is fine-tuned and his timing's right on the money. When he can, after sundown, he likes to sneak out back and work on short films. Kirk holds advanced degrees in visualization sciences and architectural design and an undergraduate degree in engineering. Early in his career, Kirk taught photography at Texas A&M University. He is the co-owner of Podnah's Pit, a Texas-style barbecue restaurant in Portland, and La Taq, a Tex Mex bar next to Podnah's. He also is a new dad - probably his greatest accomplishment yet.
