Chad Thompson
Advertising Specialist & Content Creator
“Be water, my friend.” — Bruce Lee
As a creative collaborator with Letterpress Communications, I support client projects through advertising, content creation and visual storytelling. My work focuses on developing digital campaigns and short-form video that help organizations share their stories clearly and connect with their audiences in meaningful ways.
Before working with Letterpress, I spent more than a decade in digital marketing, content creation and social media management. I’ve contributed to campaigns for tourism destinations as well as small businesses and community organizations, bringing a hands-on approach to content development and creative execution. My background also includes experience in events and creative production, shaping how I approach each project with both flexibility and attention to detail.
I approach my work with a collaborative and practical mindset. I enjoy finding creative ways to solve problems and support teams as they bring ideas to life. What drives me most is helping organizations feel confident in how they tell their story and engage the communities they serve.

Just For Fun
When I’m not working on marketing campaigns, you’ll usually find me at The Book Cellar, a Downtown Abingdon bookstore I founded with my wife, hosting community events and sharing a love of literature!
