What do you get when you mix a Madison Avenue PR executive with a computer science-loving techie? One hell of a social media growth hacker.
Chris spent the first half of his career working his way up the corporate PR agency ladder, working at both world-class firms and tech-specific boutiques in New York City. As an early adopter, with a strong background in programming and Web development from high school and college, he had his eye on social media from the very beginning.
During 2008-2010 Chris was the social media director for a large NYC PR firm, flying around the world introducing social media communications services for the very first time as offered by a PR firm. Major brands were intrigued, signing up left and right, and he knew this was his calling. Chris had the chance to work with prolific brands such as American Express, Ford, Aruba Tourism Authority, Six Flags, Kimpton Hotels, 4Kids (Creators of Pokémon before being purchased by Nintendo), Hewlett Packard and many others on their trailblazing social media campaigns.
2010 brought the founding of his own full-service digital agency, and he hasn’t looked back since. 98 Buck Social was founded in 2015 and is a social media powerhouse with 43 employees, serviced over 8,000 businesses, and has sold over $8 million in low cost social media marketing services. We pioneered the affordable social media marketing offering, and our agency specializes in custom, high-quality social media marketing services and audience growth at a price point any business can afford. Affordable Facebook and Instagram advertising is also a specialty of ours. We get results, and Chris’ team strives to be the very best social agency worldwide in this price category.
