Chris is one of the most creative, intelligent and hard-working PR professionals I've ever met. With an intuitive grasp for what really makes a great story, and with a wide range of skills and knowledge at his fingertips, he has a real impact on client campaigns. I really enjoyed working with Chris and always came away from our conservations with a new perspective on a client, media or team issue. He's a superb PR pro.
