Chris is one of our most trusted writers, and I recommend him warmly for his understanding of how to develop brand narratives that engage senior business decision makers.

Chris always thinks big, in terms of scope, ambition, interviewees, and his writing is engaging, hooking readers from the outset and leaving them with a clear takeaway.
