To date, Chris combines her experiences across a variety of industries to form visionary marketing and promotional strategies that exceed leadership expectations. With a thirst to evolve, Chris gets inspired regularly by the world around her, taking note of promotions and communications activities that break through the proverbial clutter and get attention.
“I’m not afraid to try something that no one’s thought of yet. Life is a learning experience, and I enjoy creating multi-faceted strategies that make noise, get attention and drive action. If something doesn’t produce the results that I was looking for, I ask why and investigate. After making a few adjustments, I try again. This has helped me to develop a marketing strategy formula that has worked well for several employers. I am proud to have executed campaigns that have produced desirable returns, which have generally exceeded annual growth goals. It’s proof that I’m fulfilling my life’s purpose; sharing my God-given talents with the world. With energy and enthusiasm, I truly enjoy the work that I do.” – Chris Spicer, Marketing Professional
