Things worked out. Now 30-plus years in, Chris has been running point on client strategies, business development, capability expansion and staff/agency operations for a series of successful agency groups, and having a blast doing so. Lucky guy indeed. Career Highlights One of the first employees at the first digital agency, Modem Media.

• Executive Creative Director, Managing Partner Connect With Jen

Jen can't sit still. She's spent her career searching out and creating stuff that hasn't been done before. While she spent a lot of time at BIG NYC agencies like Digitas, Y&R, and Wunderman, she never fit the mold of the traditional agency creative. She found herself more at home in little skunkworks groups within each agency that were ahead of the curve, blazing new trails. One of her favorite gigs was as a founding member of Y&R's Brand Buzz division created to help the traditional agency teams think in a 360 way.
