ABOUT SCCo.

With more than 30 years in the industry, Rob has directed creative work across corporate marketing, publishing, ministry and nonprofit communication, environmental and trade show design, and web — for clients ranging from local startups to national brands, and even a stint with the NFL.

He started as Art Director and Managing Editor at Browns News Illustrated — at the time, the largest fan publication across all NFL teams — before moving to Anthony Thomas Advertising, where he directed campaigns and trade show presence for national automotive aftermarket brands. In 2001 he co-founded Gate Creative, a studio helping mission-driven organizations modernize their outreach. That work led to launching Supan Creative Co. in 2006, where he's partnered with 50+ clients across real estate, healthcare, financial services, faith-based organizations, esports, and more.

Whether the project is a brand identity system, a 40-foot truck wrap, a website build, or a sermon series campaign, Rob approaches every one with the same care and the same goal: solve the problem, make it look right, and deliver it on time.

ROB
SUPAN

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Rob is grateful for the opportunity to be a designer, but is even more thankful for his role as husband to his wife Tricia, and father to their seven kids. He loves art, good music and baseball, and can't wait to share his love of all of it with his twin grandsons.

POPPY

OFFICE COMPANION

Poppy is a Newfoundland/Poodle who enjoys chasing chipmunks, swimming in the pond, or running through the snow after a Northeastern Ohio winter snowfall. She's a fantastic companion who is content to lay in the office and provide the occasional workplace distraction. There is nothing that brings her more joy than running after a rubber ball, and there is nothing that makes us happier than to throw her one.
