Chris Cavanaugh

Chris is most excited about supporting the transformation of the Freeman brand, as the company reaches the next exciting inflection point in its business. Technology integration, data, experience design and globalization are at the core of the brand experience movement. Freeman is at the epicenter of this change and Chris sees an opportunity to articulate the Freeman value proposition in new and meaningful ways as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Freeman. Chris began his career at Freeman by helping to create and lead FreemanXP, the company’s agency services organization, which has quickly grown into the one of the largest global brand experience agencies in the industry in three years’ time. 

Prior to Freeman, Chris enjoyed a 16-year career at Jack Morton Worldwide (IPG) where he was the EVP and General Manager of the flagship New York office and later the EVP, Global Growth Officer for the agency. During his time there, Chris helped double the size of the business, working with brands such as Bank of America, Samsung, CA and Pfizer. He helped identify, acquire and integrate companies in the design, digital and expo categories and was known for identifying, nurturing and growing some of the industry’s greatest talent. Prior to this, Chris worked in television and commercial production.
