Christopher Hayden

Ohio-born and California-bred, I’ve developed a multi-decade marketing career in Los Angeles and New York City, influenced by a childhood of comic books and cinema, and a half-decade in the fine art world.

During my agency years, I have contributed to winning over $3B in new business wins, as well as leading client teams and creatives: at Ad Age Agency of the year McCann NY, and at the three-time Media Agency of the Year Havas Media Group.

Now, I am a marketing executive with 20 years of experience building and scaling teams across startups, large companies, and agencies in numerous verticals including food & beverage, pharmaceutical & healthcare, financial, fashion, CPG, telecommunications, technology, media & entertainment and more -- widening my perspective and expanding my experience.

I currently reside with my wife, son and dog on the other side of the Hudson in Jersey City. I hold an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and a BS in Marketing from Cal State Northridge.

Off the clock, I surf, snowboard, paint and sometimes find myself coerced into gratuitous photoshoots with my dog.
