what we believe
preparation is everything.
The shoot, the launch, the big night: that’s the easy part. It’s also where most people miss things, because they walked in unprepared. Execution is only part of the battle. Preparation is the hardest part, and the most efficient and rewarding.
So that’s where bahlr puts in the work. Every detail answered before the day comes, so when the moment arrives we can let go and let it happen. The best work never feels forced.
We value people, being organized and doing things right. People make every creative call; we use AI behind the scenes to keep projects organized and moving. Our AI advisor builds agentic systems at an Inc. 500 company.

The shoot, the launch, the event. Because we prepared, it runs easy.
- 03after
We watch what works, fix what doesn’t, and start preparing for what’s next.
NOBODY TOO SMALL. NOBODY TOO BIG.

meet the founder
Corey Jeppesen isn’t a marketer. he’s a modern-day mADman.
Corey doesn’t much like being called an agency guy or a digital marketer. He’d rather be a modern-day mADman, think Don Draper for today’s world: part strategist, part creative, and all-in as a partner in your business.
He founded the company more than 12 years ago as Seejepp Creative Studio, fresh out of North Idaho College as a graphic design major, and worked his way up one client at a time. Today, as bahlr media, he helps companies, brands and organizations across the country say what they mean, and get heard.
That makes bahlr one of North Idaho’s longest-standing agencies. It has grown through some of the craziest times in advertising: the rise of social media, websites rebuilt for phones, video taking over social, vlogging, years of SEO changes, COVID, and now the AI revolution. It keeps learning and evolving, so its clients don’t have to do it alone.

why north idaho
come for the meeting. stay for the lake.
bahlr was founded in Coeur d’Alene and Hayden, Idaho, in what we think is the most beautiful state in the country. A lot of our clients fly in from out of state and get work and a vacation in one trip, staying at The Coeur d’Alene Resort over the lake. Corey just happens to be born, raised and living here.
- big-city agency
- Bloated staff, bloated productions, and a bloated invoice to cover them.
- bahlr
- The same high-quality work, at Idaho prices. Plus a lake view.
off the clock
the guy behind the agency.
You’re not hiring a logo on a building. You’re hiring Corey, his family and his team. Here’s a little about him.
FAMILY FIRST
Sarah and four daughters
Corey is married to Sarah Jeppesen, and together they have four beautiful daughters. He’s a traditional man with a traditional family, and he’s proud of it. That’s how his family lives, not a measuring stick for anyone else’s: no judgment here.
BILLS MAFIA
diehard since age six
Corey and Sarah are diehard Buffalo Bills fans. Corey has been one since he was about six, and he’s lived through all the hard years, so rest assured he can handle the highs and lows with you. He’s a season ticket holder, and will be for the rest of his life.
IDAHO, OUTSIDE
camping and good company
When he’s not in the studio or in Buffalo, you’ll find Corey camping somewhere in this beautiful state, or hanging out with friends and enjoying a good time.
right next door or across the world.
There’s always something that can be done and solved, and Corey’s the guy to do it for you. A one-person startup, a Fortune 500 company, or maybe even a football team. (Buffalo, call us.)

tell Corey what you’re working on.
