Christine was the first marketing expert to recommend a scaled back approach, starting more simply before going into logo development, mega-web page construction etc -- all of which cost a lot of money. She offered super sound advice of simply validating the product first, then move on from there. Get a splash screen, but keep it simple. Sage advice in the world of start ups! I highly, highly recommend her.
Source: Clarity Wendy Marie Thomas Jul 24, 2015Christine is one of the best long-term strategic thinkers I have known. She has an instinctive ability to anticipate what emerging technologies can/should be part of a brand's marketing mix, designs an appropriate integrated marketing plan & strategy - grounded in consumer truth - and sets to task implementing on the right future-forward path toward engagement, growth & long-term loyalty.

Source: LinkedIn Curt Jessup Feb 17, 2014During her time as Director of Marketing for Sea Tow Services International, my interaction with Christine was in her role as corporate marketing lead and liaison to the National Marketing Council - made up of franchisees from around the Country. As a Sea Tow franchisee and Chairman of the National Marketing Council, I interacted closely and directly with Christine on a regular basis. The Council is made up of Franchise business owners who, while enthusiastic owners and operators, are amateur marketers. Christine's ability to inform, educate, onboard and lead this Council in its mission to map and reach strategic marketing goals was critical. She was able to rally our diverse team around complex marketing initiatives while building a cohesive marketing strategy, which she implemented with success. Christine's accomplished strategic capabilites and ability to lead proved to be invaluable to the Council and pivotal for the Sea Tow organization.

She possesses a rare combination of talents: on the one hand, she's a lateral and creative thinker; on the other, she can make almost anything happen. If you get the opportunity to have Christine on your team, jump at it.

Christian LazopoulosStrategic Planning Director at Five by Five • England.Unfortunately an “older before his time” veteran in the field of geekiness and all things “strategy”; factor in that when I was born the obstetrician proclaimed I had an “old soul”. Since I am also cursed with a pinch of creativity and a lot of restlessness, marcomms won me over a librarian’s career. I entered specialised international consumer research a boy and many years and 33 countries later I left it man enough to join the exciting world of advertising. Internally they call me “your excellence”, not because of illusions of grandeur but rather because my role is to be the ambassador of both the brand as well as the consumer, since my thinking and creative direction starts here. That is why I take things really personally – I care about designing strategy that will be the most effective and rewarding to the client’s objectives, always with a clear sense of long term aspirations. But above all I am a father of a 2 year old daughter, who is the boss of me...

Head of Strategy in ADEL Saatchi & Saatchi from 2007 to 2012.
