Hi. I'm Teddy Stoecklein (pronounced "Steck-line"). I began my career in New York at BBDO as an Art Director, then at McCann and Kaplan Thaler before returning to BBDO as a Creative Director. 

​

I then moved to Maine to raise chitlins and join the VIA Agency. I helped lead the Creative Department as Executive Creative Director, twice winning Ad Age's Small Agency of the Year Award (2012 and 2019). My client list is long. 

​

In 2025, I founded Candy Side, a content production company. I'm also the founder of The Cowboy Yoyo, and I've written and illustrated a book of Pirate Jokes—if that's your thing.
