ABOUT
chris a johnson
Being the poster child for not knowing "what I want to be when I grow up” has led me to be intimately involved in just about every challenge imaginable for both not-for-profits and for-profit organizations.
Whether its defining the focus of an organization or project as I have for Intel, creating branding that carries the message of the organization through everything a potential supporter touches, feels or hears as I have done for many organizations including the American Red Cross or helping to develop a fund-raising plan that
engages everyone in the process,
The ability to find quick solutions with a thoughtful approach has allowed organizational partners such as United Way the opportunity to react quickly and change directions so as to minimize any impending damage while maximizing potential opportunities.
This method also means less pain on the organizations pocketbook.

what others have said...
I strongly recommend Chris. He and I worked together at The Nut Tree, a unique family owned location which consisted of restaurants, retail locations and special events. I asked Chris to join me there in order for him to bring his sense of design and marketing to this 74 year old landmark destination. His creativity, his eye for detail and his ability to contemporize the Nut Tree brand were critical factors to our success.

Tim Miller
Executive Director - American Red Cross
Seldom have I met someone so creative who models solid marketing strategies. He understands his audiences and how to engage them in a compelling and immersive brand experience using out-of-the-box creative and execution. I was so impressed with Chris's unique right/left brain skill set that I sought him to become a manager at Intel’s corporate marketing group. I would be thrilled to have an opportunity to work with Chris any time!
Peter Morgan, Vice President - Intel
Chris Johnson has an amazing ability to connect and communicate with industry leaders, elected representatives and the general public. With his extensive experience in the non-profit and the corporate sectors he brings tremendous expertise and leadership to handling difficult situations such as public emergencies in the most sensitive, poised and effective manner.
