Former Inbound Marketing Director
BigWing
Chris is a digital marketing unicorn. I worked with Chris for nearly 2 years at BigWing as both his manager and director. Chris is truly a marketing unicorn and excels at marketing strategy, copywriting, video production, and more.
He has grown video at BigWing to become a profitable product of the business. Chris holds both a strong technical ability as well as a creative mind—this blend makes him a dynamic digital marketer that understands how to execute creative content ideas.
I would have no hesitation to hire Chris in the future and wholeheartedly give him my recommendation.
Chris Glick
Former Product Director
Pluralsight / Digital-Tutors
It was always easy to assign something to Chris because you can count on him to learn it quickly and execute it well. At some points during production he was managing a pipeline publishing a dozen videos daily.
Even after giving him an aggressive goal to meet he happily organized and went to work. He is able to not only organize the details of his current project but also to take a longer view to see if there are any upcoming issues.
I would unequivocally hire him for any video editing, production or marketing job.
