more about chris

VIEW OUR MARKETING CASE STUDIES

Chris began freelancing in 2017 as a web developer and PPC advertiser, partnering with local Arkansas businesses with a focus on marketing strategy. Frustrated by the templated approaches of traditional agencies, he pursued a more personalized model. By 2020, he identified a clear market gap: small businesses needed more than short-term advertising, they needed integrated marketing strategies built for long-term growth. Strong in strategy and execution, Chris recognized that high-quality design was the missing piece for bringing those marketing efforts to life.
