Chris has worked in advertising for over 20 years, starting as a copywriter with FCB London in the early 1980s (true to popular advertising legend, his career actually began in the mailroom).
His early years were spent creating TV commercials and poster and press advertising for clients like The Daily Mail, Cadbury's, Dulux Paints, London Transport, British Airways and Heinz Foods.
In 1987, he accepted an offer to come and work in Hong Kong with Leo Burnett. He then joined Grey Hong Kong where he became Executive Creative Director, creating some of Hong Kong's best known work during the first half of the 1990s, for clients such as Schweppes, Tom Lee Music and Satchi Leather Goods.
