Chris also created DigiTalk, Talk PR’s digital division which has run campaigns for Fosters, Pixmania, and Scholtes. Launched in 2009 the division’s work was recently shortlisted for the Best Use of Social Media award at the 2010 Revolution Magazine Awards.

As well as brand building Chris is also an expert at news generation and has a flair for creating national coverage across all media. His story credits include the DVD launch of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean 2 which generated record breaking global editorial for Disney, the launch of the galaxy’s first unit of currency, the QUID, the invention of Nerdic and the first ever prenuptial agreement for gadget lovers, the e-nup.
