“For decades, the sage counsel of Chris Barricks has been a rock in my marketing career. Of course, that’s strange to say since neither of us are that old … just experienced.
One of his recommendations is to always be brief. (“People don’t like to read all that much!”) So here are bullet points that come to mind … Chris Barricks is:
- A man of utmost integrity
- One who understands the voice of the company and the voice of the customer
- A strategist who is on target, on message, on time
- Witty, clever and versatile, with a great creative eye and mind
- My sounding board for sanity’s sake
- My creative director
- My partner and one of the most important members of our marketing team
If I was called upon to do a performance review on Chris, his rating would consistently be “Always exceeds expectations.”
Right about now I need to hire him to write this recommendation to wax much more eloquently than I’m capable of doing without him. In short, he’s a superstar."

“Chris is one of the brightest, most creative and most genuine individuals that I have ever known. He combines strong strategic abilities with exceptional conceptual insights that have certainly won awards but more importantly, have had direct and substantial impact on revenue and profitability for a number of clients.
Chris is always up for any challenge and in every one of my experiences in working with him, he has over-delivered. His work ethic, attitude, demeanor and personal integrity are without equal.
Not only would I recommend Chris for any company or project, I would strongly urge anyone to enlist Chris and his talents. You will not be disappointed."

“Chris Barricks has a rare talent for being able to find the needle in the haystack and spin it into gold. He has the ability to understand a customer's business and be able to hone in on their key attributes. He's an excellent writer and can concept the whole picture … no matter what the medium. But beyond all of Chris' many talents, he's an upstanding gentleman that anyone would have the pleasure of working with.”

“After working with Chris at two agencies, most simply put, Chris GETS it. As a creative director and marketing partner, he can take a confusing and/or complicated marketing situation, boil it down to its essence and then develop a solid creative strategy that's on target (did I mention he understands how to work with budgets too?). He is a valuable partner for clients (just ask any of them) and agency colleagues as well and I wouldn't hesitate to engage him. Plus … he's also a good dude, which means a lot in my book.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris both as a colleague and on a freelance basis. He’s an exceptional creative talent who possesses that rare ability to quickly cut through the clutter and get to the heart of the message. Chris brings strong vision and strategic thinking skills to the table, and his dedication to delivering the highest quality product inspires everyone with whom he teams. And the results speak for themselves: Chris consistently exceeds client expectations. Plus, he’s just a genuinely good guy – a pleasure to work with, a joy to be around. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris for any project.”
