I’m Chris and I’m a copywriter with 29 years of experience. I got my start at local ad agencies writing TV and radio spots (remember those?). I then segued into direct marketing (mail!) and, later, digital marketing.

My longest agency stints were at Razorfish and what’s now known as Publicis. I also worked with and for Digitas, JWT and a subsidiary of Havas. In 2012 I left the agency world to build content programs for startups and enterprises.

Whether you’re looking for punchy ad copy or thoughtful brand journalism, I can help.
