After spending most of this century on the agency front or client-side as Community and Search manager for a Texas Fortune 500 technology manufacturer, Chris counts among his achievements six ADDYs for his work as a copywriter and art director. In his previous lives, Chris has worked with brands such as Bacardi USA, American Heart Association, Dell and ConAgra Foods. Today he handles strategy and creative direction at Houston-based Primer Grey, a digital marketing and web design agency.
