About Chris
A strategist
with a camera,
a pen and
a point of view.
Chris C. Birt has spent his career making ideas behave less like advertising and more like stories people want to pass on.
The work
Brand advocacy,
artfully.
Chris is an author, creative director, speaker and strategist. He has co-founded and grown agencies in Minneapolis and Denver, worked with brands from American Express to the WNBA, and built a practice around an old-fashioned belief: a smart idea can still change the conversation.
He also photographs, films, skis, climbs mountains and has a serious interest in muscle cars. Those are not side notes. They are how he keeps seeing the world from a less expected angle.
