CHRISTOPHER JAMES CHAPMAN
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Christopher began his marketing journey within a Pre-Google paradigm – utilizing key metrics and advertising fundamentals that still apply today.
Working with two powerhouse National and Multi-State companies in his post directory career, he carried the print ball for over 13 years; Christopher co-founded The Ad Professor, while also servicing several hundred customers face to face, handshake to handshake, over a decade, opening up the St. Louis and Detroit Metropolitan Markets – nearly singlehandedly in St. Louis… and in Detroit area, with a dedicated team of like-minded entrepreneurs and mentors.
After Millions and Millions in personal sales, he began merging his skill set with one of the top NBC affiliates in the nation, handling direct and agency clients all over the United States and training side by side with their 3rd party digital squad.
After a great experience, but with a hunger to eschew the corporate environment, Christopher left to help a former director and CEO open and launch a startup in the Social Platform Marketing space while kicking The Ad Professor into high gear simultaneously.
The Ad Professor agency is currently working on acquiring property, expanding its Detroit workforce, adding to its vendor base with topnotch, top of breed boutique and national business partners, and looking for equity based partnerships that grow together while also working with retainer based models and Gig style consulting services.
