Recommendations

Chris is a pros, pro. He is even-keeled and has been an immense value add to Dapper Labs from day 1 of working with him. Chris was tasked with taking on a lot of our CRM and paid efforts for the NBA Top Shot business and has been invaluable to up-leveling our skill set and capacity to bring new users into the business. Could not recommend Chris any higher. As a bonus, he is also just a fun / positive person to be around.

Chris is extremely passionate and committed to his work. In the two years he consulted for us, he educated our team on how to achieve our sales goals and helped us reach major milestones. Chris has a do-whatever-it-takes approach and was always willing to roll up his sleeves. His expertise was invaluable to our growth, and I would recommend his services to anyone trying to grow a business, small or large.

Chris is one of the stellar, experienced digital marketing executives you are lucky to work with over the course of your career. He is a seasoned expert in helping young companies grow via digital marketing, and highly recommended for all insights, metrics, conversions, analytics, etc. Chris is particularly adept at making your marketing strategy understandable and the analytics actionable.

Chris delivers results. He’s an accomplished digital marketer and an asset to any scaling B2B SaaS business. He helped Phone2Action grow measurably during his tenure as our head of marketing. He’s driven, results-oriented, and committed

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris and have seen first hand the rigor and expertise he brings to Digital Marketing.

Chris is extremely thorough with collecting, analyzing and interpreting actions from users, prospects and customers to craft genuinely thoughtful data-driven insights. He has a gift for presenting these insights in a way that is professional, concise and easy-to-understand.

His creativity with building engaging campaigns and his understanding of the causalities and underpinnings that drive behavior are invaluable to any team engaged in a Digital Marketing effort!

Chris is by far the best Digital Marketer I know in the DC Metro area! He has an actionable understanding of Account Based Marketing and leverages social media in very innovative ways.

To remain relevant in the market, Chris will never be too proud to test new ad copies, email subject lines, signup forms, templates and merge fields, etc. His openminded perspective makes him the perfect teammate for any Sales & Marketing collaborative meeting. More importantly, Chris doesn’t just have “hunches” or “feelings” on these tests. Rather, he’d have several excel sheets or articles ready for each new idea he brings to the table to ensure each proposed change is data-driven.

Lastly, when I think of Chris, I think of 3 adjectives: Hard-working, Data-driven, & Objective.

Chris is a pleasure to work with and has a wide breadth of knowledge in the digital marketing space. I’ve worked with him directly over the past year on pay-per-click campaigns and remarketing efforts. He’s always open to testing new ideas and initiatives, but also takes the time to analyze the data to ensure these efforts pay off in the long run

Chris is a force of nature.

In his time at Contactually, he transformed our marketing efforts — and build a highly-performant acquisition machine. He constantly was testing and iterating on campaigns to drive more leads in a cost-effective manner. Much of growth in the past few years was due to the strategic and tactics he laid out (and largely executed).

Chris gave 100% to Contactually, and I have no doubt he’d bring that same level of passion and hustle to any organization he joins

I was so impressed with Chris’ unprecedented work ethic and the transparency and realness that he brought to the table as a marketing leader. Whether it’s preparing a top-notch deck for a Board or leadership meeting sharing metrics, to educating all of our staff on the state of marketing, Chris puts in 110% to achieve results. Incredibly quant-driven, Chris is your right-hand man for developing strategy, designing marketing campaigns, forecasting, building relationships with stakeholders, and providing key insights.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris and the positive outlook, collaboration, and action-oriented mindset he brought to the table every day

Chris is the definition of hustle, and I was fortunate enough to experience his hunger for success first-hand. Working directly under Chris at Contactually, I had the privilege of spending my time learning from his years of experience growing startups.

His management style of “test often, fail quickly” and “ask for forgiveness instead of permission” gave me autonomy and ownership which provided me invaluable experience early on in my career, as well as ownership of meaningful projects. Chris is a phenomenal leader, mentor, and manager— an absolute lynchpin to any organization.

What can I say about Chris that has not been a million times over? Chris was an amazing colleague and has grown to be a great friend.

While at Contactually, I relied on Chris to help with some of the more complex ideas in marketing such as creating a referral program, and creating a brand that our customers could get behind. He always helped me and our other teammates with a smile, and still managed to complete (and crush) his own responsibilities. Anyone would be especially lucky to add Chris to their team. They’d not only be adding a veteran marketer who understands the nuances of attracting customers, but someone genuinely cares about his fellow teammate.

Chris worked as a consultant to Story2 during TechStars and immediately after. He’s a social media marketing polymath, who taught us how to organize and measure our online marketing. Our early growth in online users and customers was a direct result of his strategic advice.

Chris is a rare individual in the SaaS field who combines the in-depth knowledge of PPC marketing with flawless execution skills. Working with Chris was extremely enjoyable and productive. We were able to take advanced PPC strategies and implement high performing campaigns in tandem with our experience.

Chris was very responsive and allowed fast implementation of key campaigns that moved the bottom line.

Working with Chris has been a pleasure. His great attitude towards his work and the professionalism he always showed was infectious, and made those around him want to do their best as well. It’s hard not to notice the amount of effort he put into marketing,. Knowing we had someone like that on our team who was willing to give that extra push made it that much easier to develop and consistently update the product. Also, he’s a fellow Knicks fan, so you know he has a lot of patience, commitment and class.

Working with Chris is a fantastic experience. He takes his role as mentor very seriously always ready with a helping hand. Chris was always willing to take the time to explain how and why everything works. He is a wonderful fountain of knowledge in digital marketing and always so ready to impart his wisdom.

When I think infectious energy, I think of Chris. Whether he was creating spreadsheets so fast my head would spin or breaking down complicated marketing semantics into language that even the average idiot (me) could understand, he always held himself with great discipline, commitment and intensity. Quite simply, he cares about growing companies. A lot. … And that’s not even mentioning his great taste in music!

Chris is always professional and on target. It was a pleasure to see how he systematically approached and achieved marketing goals, all while remaining flexible with respect to technical feasibility. Highly recommend for all marketing needs.

It was a pleasure working with Chris while he was Head of Marketing at Switch, as he was extremely knowledgeable in many areas related to marketing and sales. He was also highly passionate about his work, exemplifying this by having “an around the clock attitude” towards maximizing on marketing directives and exploring/creating new avenues. Being that we worked together in a start-up environment, the work was often hectic and the interns had many varying responsibilities, but Chris kept us on task with the projects that were most valuable to us, which were essentially the reasons why we joined the company in the first place

Chris was essentially my digital marketing coach while at Switch and he truly made my time as an intern worthwhile. I was extremely impressed with the abundance of marketing knowledge Chris exemplified, and how he was able to communicate new complex concepts in a very simple manner. What I enjoyed most was Chris’s ability to keep our department organized and flowing, which in turn created a team-like atmosphere that you naturally wanted to be a part of.

Always professional, committed, and hard-working, Chris was a great pleasure to work with. He can balance responsibilities like a pro, working on many projects at once while mentoring others and teaching himself SQL. I would jump at the opportunity to work with Chris again.

My first impression of Chris was that he truly cared about the success of our business even before understanding it – to me, this is a very important and rare quality to see. The second observation was that he has the skills, knowledge and experience to immediately align with our company goals/strategy and begin providing huge value to our digital marketing strategy – he helped us create and polish our. The third conclusion I came to is Chris has an unquenchable thirst to continue learning best practices and industry trends in order to apply the most up to date strategies to your company.

I would recommend him to any company looking for data driven strategies around digital marketing

Chris is a rock star digital marketing strategist. He helped our company from virginal territory to pro status. I would recommend Chris without hesitation. Not to mention he’s a great guy!

Chris is an SEO and web analytics savant. I’ve seen him work magic at tons of companies, and I consult him for every SEO question I have. Hire this guy.

Chris was the one guy that I got the most out of while at Techstars. His experience and knowledge of how to target your market, find marketing channels, and how to get the best conversions out of those channels helped us a lot when we were starting. His lessons, tips and encouragement really paid off. I wish I could have spent more time learning from him!

Chris Rodriguez is exceptional at what he does.

Within the Techstars community–a community of some of the brightest and smartest entrepreneurial teams–Chris stands out. Every week of the program you could hear a founder or CEO say, “we have to get Chris in here” or “let’s ask Chris.” He’s mythical and clear; informative and instructive. He waits to hear the big picture and then mythically breaks down objectives into manageable milestones that return rich data. He sets a context for how to think about digital marketing and growth hacking, and then offers up the content and resources to execute on a plan. If you have the opportunity to work with Chris take it.

Chris and Story2 (@TechStars) worked closely to create a marketing strategy to acquire users/customers.

He is extremely knowledgeable and helped us to create an actionable approach to find the right marketing channel and to convert the users.

Chris is full of energy and very easy to talk to, wish we got to spend more time with him.

Chris was very encouraging as a mentor and showed genuine interest in what I was working on. I knew he was on my team and that he wanted to see me succeed. If I hadn’t managed to finish my tasks from one week to the next I sometimes felt like I was going to class without having finished my homework. Only this was much more important than any homework assignment has ever been and Chris would not listen to the-dog-ate-my-homework-like excuses.

He pushed me as far as I could go and sometimes even a bit further, but gently and with my best interest in mind. We were there to grow and Chris made sure he did his best to help us reach our goals. I can recommend Chris to anyone looking for a mentor and/or an expert in the field of digital marketing. I would jump at the opportunity of working with him again.

Chris’s marketing genius has a halo effect on everything I do as a user experience designer, and with my own clients. The value I received (and you will too) from just being in his orbit while we both coached the Techstars EdTech cohort has had a huge impact on my own ventures. I can only imagine the astronomical value the startups that met with him each week received.

Chris was an invaluable resource during our time at TechStars. A true growth hacker who knows all the cutting edge tools and how to use them for real results. I would jump at the chance to work with him again and would recommend him to anyone trying to grow their business.

Chris really helped to accelerate our process and to help us to understand the value of metrics. I highly recommend him to any company that wants to see their company grow!

Chris is one of the most passionate marketers I’ve ever met. His insights come from tremendously valuable experience, and his Brooklyn roots. Chris’s deep understanding of everything from SEO/SEM, Email and Social Media Marketing to Conversion Optimization and Project Management make him the total package. I definitely recommend Chris.

I worked with Chris at numberFire where he was our Chief Marketing Officer. He is an extremely dedicated, hard-working, brilliant marketer with a great passion for what he does. He brings a combination of expert level marketing knowledge and relentless work ethic that would be invaluable to any organization. Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with and I learned a great deal from him.

I worked as an engineer at Knewton while Chris was our growth marketer. He was hired to market our product, but unfortunately we weren’t able to get the product into a marketable state before he left. I know he had a large number of twitter followers as well as an initial beta userbase of teachers interested in ed-tech ready to go whenever we were prepared for it, which at the time I left we still weren’t. However, we still spent a lot of time together and I know Chris takes a strong interest in technology and how businesses can be built on top of it.

He lives and breathes startups and entrepreneurship and is someone I consider a valuable mentor and ally to have in the space.

I worked with Chris at Techstars where he was a marketing and customer development mentor for the 12 companies going through the program. The knowledge and mentorship Chris brought resulted in major pivots and improved customer traction for multiple companies. Chris always offered his advice and expertise outside of Techstars and was widely regarded by all the teams. He is extremely impressive and I hope to work with him again.

Chris was a pleasure to work with and has a deep understanding of marketing, SEO, among many other things. He is an incredibly driven and talented individual and will bring that enthusiasm to any organization he is working with.

Chris is one of the best marketers I have ever worked with. Chris truly loves digital marketing (he lives and breathes it) and builds on his knowledge every day. I’d be hard pressed to find someone else who cares as much about staying up-to-date with industry developments and trying out new tools and software. At Knewton, he laid out a robust acquisitions strategy, and dramatically improved our growth on a number of levels, bringing a metrics-driven discipline to our team efforts.

On the interpersonal side, Chris excels at both supporting teammates and leading his own initiatives. He has a natural ability to teach others and transfer his skills and knowledge. A true delight to work with! Someone you want on your team.

Chris brings a phenomenal combination of extensive knowledge and a determined pursuit of deeper understanding. He possesses an arsenal of tools that attract users to a pre-launch product. And he quickly immerses himself in becoming an expert in a product’s particular sector, exponentially increasing his impact. Without any concrete product or benefit to point to, he was able to attract thousands of genuinely interested and qualified candidates to Knewton’s demanding Beta program.

As an educator, I was impressed with his ability to teach himself a new ‘language’ and continually adjust approaches in light of new data, and as a colleague, I appreciated how earnestly and effectively he collaborated with the multiple perspectives of the cross-functional team members. It was a real pleasure to work with him!

Eager to work, brimming with ideas, and insatiably busy, Chris relentlessly converts contacts into customers.

Chris was instrumental in helping our company find and foster a rich pool of engaged beta users. Though focused on quantitative data, Chris quickly understood the value of qualitative insights, and graciously carved out a space for the user research team to gather them. That’s rare and made our jobs so much easier. Thanks, Chris!

Chris is a triple threat – he has a high commitment to quality, he genuinely cares about the needs of others, and his subject matter expertise is unparalleled. I hired and worked with Chris to create high-quality online digital marketing classes and hope to work with him again soon!

It’s rare that you come across such a reliable expert like Chris. I had the pleasure of working with Chris for three months years at General Assembly, collaborating on a digital marketing curriculum as part of a partnership with Twitter Small Business. Chris’s ability to dissect complex marketing concepts and respond to feedback under incredibly tight deadlines made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. Chris would be an asset to any company seeking a data-driven digital marketing expert.

Chris is very driven and hard-working. While at LSM, he organized our Washington DC workshops with great success. He’s passionate about lean startup and marketing, which is a great combination. I’m happy to recommend his work.

Chris worked with us on a series of video guides that walked users through the ins and outs of making Twitter work for their small business. Chris was reliable and delivered high quality content, contributing to a successful project!

Chris is a results-oriented marketing machine. He set ambitious goals and would hustle to meet or exceed them. He successfully designed a marketing campaign that drew customers to line up in anticipation before a product launch, engaged with customers often, and made customers feel like their opinion mattered.

Chris’ energy, passion, and enthusiasm is contagious. He brought it every day at our time together at Speek. I can safely say he is a more than adept marketer and incredibly knowledgeable about his field, but also strives to learn more about it every day. It was a pleasure working with Chris Rodriguez.

Chris had a massive impact on getting customers, and working them through the A-B testing funnels to help us tune our conversion rates. I was impressed with Chris’ resourcefulness and depth of understanding every time we interacted – when was the last time you heard a techie say that about a marketing guy?

Chris joined Tykoon during a very hectic period and hit the ground running. He was very proactive in coming up with solutions and explored every potential venue for promoting the product. If you are looking to promote a product or a service, Chris is your guy!

Chris is dedicated marketer with exceptional drive and experience. He always gives 110% and will dive into the weeds of project if that’s what is required. Chris is extremely self-motivated and a tireless team player. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris and learning from him.

Chris is a passionate idea man who can quickly identify the needs and tests necessary to build and iterate a great business. He generated many successful experiments during our work together at Speek. He is a kind and generous soul, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

I don’t know what is more impressive about Chris: his ferocious energy and work ethic, or his detailed technical knowledge of analytics and growth hacking. Call it a tie, but the combination makes him a phenomenal asset at a startup and an inspiration to work with. Every decision that Chris makes is based on a solid analysis and understanding of data, and he works tirelessly to deliver results in whatever he takes on. He settles for nothing less than success, and he motivates those around him to excel.

Chris likes to get things done. He will work tirelessly to deliver everything he takes on. In the startup world, that passion is exactly what drives growth — both from a product and cultural perspective. That very energy pushes those around him to excel.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris for nearly a year and I would say that he is both passionate and determined. He has an insatiable desire to learn and surround himself with people who both support and complement his endeavors

Chris is a high energy and focused marketing professional. His knowledge and skill set are valuable in an early stage start-up where resources and time are at a premium. He has a firm grasp of the tools and technology required to drive productive acquisition strategies and campaigns. He also maintains the right mindset to ‘grind’ and drive results in any early stage situation.

Chris is inquisitive, dedicated and scrappy. He always manages to find a way to make things happen, despite tight time and budget constraints, and it is clearly evident that he cares deeply about supporting his team and making sure that everyone has a great experience.

He lead all marketing initiatives including our social media strategy, crafting press releases, managing relations with early adopters, writing web copy to improve SEO, and doing a lot of networking at industry events.

He is one of the most brilliant and inventive individuals I have ever worked with and our success is largely due to his talent and energy.

Chris was an immediate asset to our Group at Davis Polk. His intellect, motivation, dedication and talent — a huge value added during his tenure here. Chris is a true go-getter, and a person who is willing and able to process ideas outside of the box. He has all of the knowledge and skills needed to be a success wherever he goes!

I have known Chris since he first came to Davis Polk as a Litigation Technical Analyst. Chris’ intellect and motivation made him an asset to the litigation department. He is dedicated, ambitious and a complex thinker. His outside-of-the-box thinking is one of his greatest assets and lends itself to his amazing creativity. Wonderful things lay ahead for Chris.

I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Chris for about three years. Since that time Chris has continued to impress me with his great work ethic and execution. He is very well connected within the entertainment field and holds great working relationships with very influential individuals. I look forward to see him develop and progress further into what seems to be a very lengthy career.

Chris Rodriguez is at the top of the online marketing game. Any time I need to publicize one of my clients I call on Chris as I know I will be getting the best service, a professional campaign, and above all – great results. When I hire him I know my clients will get maximum results and high visibility among a wide and diverse consumer base.

I highly recommend Chris as an expert in marketing and also because he is very professional, personable & easy to work with.

Chris Rodriguez is a forward thinking individual that has a strong understanding of today’s music industry. In a incredibly short period of time, Chris has built a successful & recognizable brand through Weapons X Promotions. I have hired Chris on several occasions for his promotional services and have been very satisfied with his efficiency, detail orientation, reach & reliability.

As someone that places a strong emphasis on marketing & promotions, I can rank Weapon X Promotions among the elite.

Chris “Excel” can be summed up in the phrase “one man show”. He is an outstanding business man who takes charge and executes every aspect of a situation. I had the pleasure to see this firsthand when I worked with Chris on an event that he put together for the 2008 CMJ week in New York. From media to performances to venue selection, he dominated the entire occasion. It was awesome. He’s an asset to anything he’s involved in.
