Everything is a marketing problem.

Ideas

My entire career has been possible because I see what others don’t see. I feel what others don’t feel. I can find that one thing that truly makes a difference and hold it to the light.

That’s why you hire me.

I will see what you’ve missed and make it your superpower.

Old Ideas

I’ve got a massive portfolio and to be honest, I stopped messing with it ages ago. I’ve worked with upwards of 200 companies, developing campaigns, messaging platforms, startup brands, guerrilla campaigns, studying corporate culture, and building long-term strategies. For the most part, I get hired over and over again by the same people as well as their contacts and referrals.

THE Theatre of Ideas

There is a certain kabuki theatre to presenting new concepts.

There is drama, timing, emotion, and listening. The presentation should be as powerful as the ideas being pitched.

When it comes to developing ideas with a team, I’ve always taught the improv concept of “Yes, and…” to my creative staff. Even a bad idea could be a seed for the right idea.

New Brands

My greatest love is building a new brand from scratch. I’ve worked with more startups than I can count so if you’re building a new company, I can help you avoid common branding problems. I’ll charge considerably less than a typical agency and be happy to talk about equity. I’ll roll the dice with you.

Those Who Have Come Before

“Chris Greta is a rare creative diamond. There are a bunch of creative types at all agencies, but none that I have dealt with, combines the ability to understand the project goals and carry the creative concept all the way through to completion. I worked with Chris on launching the first city site for Austin and Chris’ creative nailed the message, audience, and call to action. We were so successful on launch day that we crashed the servers. The creative is so good, I still have it as artwork in my office.”

WILLIAM MCKINNEY

PRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER IBM CORPORATION

“People say Chris thinks out of the box. Not so! In Chris’ world, there is no box. Only infinite creative solutions he seems so adept at seeing. Chris fits no archetype I’ve ever known. He simultaneously makes and breaks all the rules. His ideas are so simple and distilled you slap your head and think, ‘Well, duh! That’s the obvious way to do that”. But, you wouldn’t have ever thought of it yourself. That’s why you hire Chris Greta.”

LEE THOMAS

CIO CORT

“Chris is a creative genius. He has a unique ability to assess clients needs and quickly formulate marketing strategies. Time and time again I see client’s nodding their heads in agreement as he presents his creative solutions.”

KENNETH R. GILLEY

Senior Account Executive CATAPULT SYSTEMS

“Not only did Chris deliver us great value, he’s a blast to work with.”

NOAH ZANDAN

CEO QUANTIFIED COMMUNICATIONS

“Chris Greta is probably the best Creative Director I’ve worked with in my career. (I know, that’s saying a lot.) Whether it’s creative, branding or positioning, Chris is superb. I’ve used Chris with multiple clients and have been consistently impressed by his originality and his ability to crystalize often fuzzy marketing concepts into amazing designs, strategies and campaigns. Chris is as good as they get, and I highly recommend him.”
