Who is Chris?

DearChap

In my life so far, I have built, designed and sold Intelligent homes in London, learnt how to fly aeroplanes commercially in South Africa, helped start a Wine farm called Stormhoek (which became the first brand in the world to grow through social media advertising), looked after Innovation for Ogilvy & Mather Africa, directed Stream for WPP, started a branded learning company called 42courses.com and I still regularly write about, talk and teach about culture, tech innovation and advertising for various global publications, companies and events.

I also help out with various South African and London-based digital marketing industry boards/events, as well as being a mentor for Google and Techstars startups.

Thanks for reading.

  3. Thanks for posting these pictures. This is one of the most brilliant designs for airplanes since Brannif painted their planes with Calder designs. I don’t know why we can’t get U.S. companies to use more humor in marketing. We are just so stuck up, I guess.

    Thanks for your perspective.
