Chase Speller

Creative Director + Editor

I have spearheaded national campaigns for prominent network rebrands, including ION, ION Plus, GRIT, and DEFYTV, showcasing my expertise in revitalizing brand identities. As a creative leader, I directed high-profile campaigns for the WNBA and the NWSL on ION, the NHL on Scripps Sports, as well as the iconic Scripps National Spelling Bee.

My experience extends to launching successful shows and stunts, such as FBI on ION, Holiday movie events, and the mini-series Full Disclosure. With a proven ability to drive creative strategy and execute large-scale initiatives, I deliver compelling content that resonates with audiences nationwide.

A Bit About Me

I find inspiration in the world around me, from the serenity of a golf course to the creative energy of collaborating with our talented teams. My musical background shapes how I approach every aspect of life, blending rhythm, harmony, and creativity into my work. A passionate consumer of all forms of media—television, movies, video games, and music—I draw influence from diverse sources to fuel my imagination.

Whether I’m swimming, boating, scuba diving, or enjoying the calm of a beach, being in or near water recharges me. I thrive on the creative process, especially when shared with skilled individuals, and I’m dedicated to fostering growth within teams, holding myself and others to the highest standards. I believe in working hard, celebrating wins, and strengthening connections, knowing that camaraderie, systems, and communication are the foundations for successful leadership.
