Marvin Chow
Welcome to the “portfolio” of marvin chow. This site is a collection of stuff i’ve worked on throughout my career, in various forms. Given my role as a client and as a director, my role has been more of a conceptor, curator, critiquer and director. To get all of this work to market, it takes hours and hours of collaboration and an army of marketers, producers and agency partners. Over the last 15 years i have had the chance to work with some incredibly talented people and thank them for their support, creativity and patience. So in no way am i taking credit for all of this work but merely giving a sample of projects i’ve helped bring to life. Enjoy!
who what where when
Nomad, gun for hire, passionate dreamer, aimlessly lost… who knows why but life has taken me across the nation and almost around the world. Through a strong mixture of dumb luck and hard work, I’ve managed to have it pretty good. I’ve had some incredible experiences and met some amazing people on my journey ranging from athletes to photographers, entraprenuers to entertainers, business people to everyday people (highlights include James Carville, SpongeBob, MJ/AI/Kobe, my best friend Ginny and my wonderful wife JiYoung).
I’m an avid lover of pop culture, sports and cinema (especially korean). After working in marketing for 15+ years, i’ve come to disdain “marketing”. Brands I personally cherish and respect would be Apple, Google, Obama and of course the Swoosh. True masters of their craft, personal storytellers and exploiters of human potential.
In my 30’s I’ve become a slower basketball player, a 90’s golfer and have developed a knack for organizing around the house (what’s up with that) and still dream of changing the world one day. With eyes wide open, I look forward to whatever challenges, inspirations and adventures life has in store.
