What people are saying.

  • “I had the pleasure of managing Chris while I was global creative director at Sage. Chris is highly versatile, and began as a jack-of-all-trades art director / multimedia designer. Ever capable of generating big ideas, he was my de facto resource when I needed exceptional design across a variety of mediums. Chris's work was always clean and on trend, and he always delivered in a pinch. As our departmental demands grew, I promoted him to North American Creative Director, which is when he really began to shine. He has great instincts and a keen ability to tell customer stories in unique and exciting ways. A quick study, he rapidly developed the ability to oversee photography and video shoots, and to manage the projects from preproduction, to onset oversight, and the entirety of the post-production process. When Chris was on the project, I knew I could leave it in his capable hands and point my attention elsewhere. Chris also helped drive the Sage brand look and feel across integrated campaigns (internal and external), events, and even environmental design such as the look and feel of our various global offices. Lastly, Chris is emotionally intelligent, always cool and collected, and never too high or low. As such, he's expert at working cross departmentally and across teams to guide projects and overcome problems. I'd work with Chris again in a New York minute. Anyone would be lucky to have him leading their creative efforts!”

  • “I had the honor of working with Chris Jensen for two years and he is by far one of the most gifted and business-oriented design thinkers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He is a creative who understands how to apply his creative skills to solving business problems. He’s also very data-driven and liked to guide his efforts using data where possible. Chris stands out in three major ways in my mind. First, he is extremely strategic. I worked on two large projects that illustrated this - a massive website redesign - which he spearheaded from wireframes to launch, as well as a brand refresh to help our company show up in a more modern and powerful way. Chris was instrumental in both of these projects and we would not have succeeded without his complete and utter dedication. Chris is also an extremely versatile designer. He’s able to handle a wide range of projects and always adds strategic creative insight to any projects. He worked on everything from video, to web design, digital creative and wouldn’t bat an eye in helping with keynote presentation decks and sales presentations. He also oversaw Creative operations and made sure every project was delivered on time and with great quality. Finally, Chris is a highly effective communicator and is very adept at sharing design concepts with executive audiences. He isn’t just effective at selling in a design, however. He is also a good listener and collaborative and was able to effectively hear feedback and execute strategically on it. Any company would be lucky to have Chris as part of their team.”

  • “Are you looking for the elusive creative leader that can deliver on both right-brain AND leftbrain strengths? Then look no further than Chris Jensen, a genuine creative unicorn. As a successful leader in brand marketing, I have hired Chris Jensen several times over the last decade for different full-time creative leadership roles where he has exceeded my (and everyone else’s, too) expectations for a smart designer, team leader, and brand-to-demand marketing expert. He brings to the game a passion for imagining, visualizing, and executing the art of marketing. His broad B2B and B2C experience in marketing means pixel-perfect work on every project. From digital to traditional, from display ads, tactical emails and landing pages to visionary ad campaigns, brand re-inventions and stunning film/video work, his work is always expertly and brilliantly delivered. His visual and intuitive skills are razor sharp, lifting the bar for his own work as well as that of his team. But the additional magic that managers get with Chris Jensen is the orderly, analytical, and verbally strong capabilities typically attributed to left-brain thinkers. As the creative leader overseeing my in-house teams, I have always counted on Chris to think strategically, communicate crisply, and understand the full picture of the branding or direct response challenges. He has the skills to dig in deep on the problems, ask the right questions and apply his creative skillsets to innovating design and story-telling solutions that address customer’s real-world problems. While at Riverbed, Sage and Persado, I could count on Chris Jensen to lead his projects and teams with his openness, transparency, empathy, and collaboration. He was successful in listening to internal clients and senior leadership and delivering for them. Regardless of where feedback came from, or how difficult it might have been to implement, Chris always found a way to meet (and EXCEED) the expectations of our leadership. I highly recommend Chris Jensen for your senior creative leadership role. He will greatly impress you and deliver on your marketing objectives. But move fast. I could have an opening soon and Chris is always at the top of my list."

  • Chris is one of the rare creative leaders who bridge the world between design and direction. His ability to navigate stakeholder requirements, while developing new processes, all while delivering top notch experiences, is exactly the type of creative visionary all teams need. It was both a pleasure and wonderful learning opportunity to partner with Chris in the past, and I certainly would welcome it again in the future.
