Terri Timely is the directing duo of Ian Kibbey and Corey Creasey, Northern California natives who met at UC Berkeley and have collaborated since 2002. Known for inventive in-camera practical effects and offbeat conceptual comedy, they won the 2015 Cannes Grand Prix for Geico's 'Unskippable' campaign—featuring a frozen dinner scene while a dog devours everyone's food—and five more Lions in 2017 for Geico's 'Crushed.' Their work spans major brands including Apple, Toyota, Amazon, AT&T, Honda, IBM, Mountain Dew, and Subway, with Super Bowl spots for Pizza Hut (2017), Kellogg's Raisin Bran starring William Shatner (2026), and EOS with Mikey Day (2026). Both directors taught themselves After Effects early on and prefer practical solutions, engineering custom rigs for short films like the Vimeo Best-of-Year 'Input/Output' and Guggenheim-screened 'Synesthesia.' Their music video portfolio includes Tame Impala's one-take 'Lost In Yesterday' and multiple St. Vincent videos. Influenced by the Coen Brothers' dark-humor storytelling, Terri Timely has directed campaigns across comedy, PSAs (Ad Council, Smokey Bear), and documentary work, maintaining a genre-agnostic approach focused on good stories and unexpected executions.
