What is it like to
work with me?
“He has an uncanny ability to reduce, keeping his insight concise and succinct, without losing creativity in the delivery, whether that be during meetings or in written briefs or presentations.

“What's great about you is that you understand the business, but you bring a strategist's skepticism and aren't afraid to dispel myths and push on assumptions and conventional wisdoms clients have about their brand and business. Only because you know their world so well do you have permission to challenge it, so keep doing that. “

“He works with creatives one-on-one to make sure that the work is effective but also culturally forward and solving client challenges. Whenever the team feels stuck or confused, Corey steps in and helps make things more clear and simple. He is an amazing leader. “

“Wildly dedicated and whip smart, Corey sets a precedent for myself and our teammates on what it means to be a team player. He inspires me to be more curious and more empathetic to our brands, our consumers and out clients. I feel lucky every day to work alongside him!”

“Corey Kindberg— our multivariate strategy king. CK has come to chiat and made immediate impact on our work and our culture. Peers and clients love him and his signature, unapologetic worldview. He’s stepped up and become a leading voice of our LGBTQ+ affinity group. Constantly kind, lots of fun and super smart. ”

“Corey Kindberg is unflappable, impossibly charming with clients, and a dogged advocate for great work and his fellow humans. “Whatever help looks like” is his constant refrain when jumping into the trenches on any brief, problem, or last minute curveball— and to all of our benefit, he against all odds actually means it.”

“Corey Kindberg has quickly become the unofficial mascot of CDLA. He not only brings disruptive & creative thinking to every project he touches, he also brings the most positive and uplifting attitude. You leave every interaction with Corey feeling better about the work, better about Chiat, & somehow even better about yourself (we're all icons obv). My only negative wish for Corey is that I hope his dreams of marrying a rich man and spending his life on a yacht never comes true so we can keep him forever.”

“On the note about being a thinker, I would describe Corey as perspicacious. When asked to provide his POV, he jokes that he's always ready to give it—but in my experience, he legitimately is. Whether it's setting up big picture thinking or digging into the nitty gritty of tactical briefs, his final product is always void of BS.”

“Corey is a true team player - he works well with every other department! His ability to link people together and create spaces of open dialogue is helpful for teams to communicate effectively. He understands the value of everyone's input and how it can contribute to/be an advocate for strategy.”

“In my experience, strategists either lean slightly into being great "thinkers" or into being great "doers" but rarely do you get someone who is equally adept at both—unless you're Corey.”

“Corey is also gifted in navigating clients. This is such a hard skill for non-client service people to have, but he is so well versed and smooth in handling and connecting with clients.”
