Your Content Marketing Academy Founder & Co-Host:
A human being and Dad to Spencer. Your latest co-host enjoys doing more of what makes him happy. He's an award winning community creator from the United Kingdom.
2009 – 2011 was a transitional time for Chris. He was studying academically and non-academically, Chris started blogging and was fired up about the potential of social media and content marketing.
This is when he started to help small businesses in his spare time, cutting his teeth with social media and content for commercial enterprises. It makes sense now, looking back, that when he left his job to go to the university, that he decided to never work for anyone else, ever again.
"So, my story isn’t that dramatic – I didn’t quit my job to become an entrepreneur. I simply decided to not get a job after university." - Chris Marr
CMA was registered in 2012 and Chris become a Director the day he graduated from the University of St. Andrews in June 2013.
"No one has ever asked me about my degree, and no one has ever asked me for my CV. This stuff doesn’t matter anymore." - Chris Marr
