About Chris Abraham

You want someone who follows the rules? Not me.I’ve been smashing the digital mold since the early ‘90s, back when “online” was a novelty and “social media” wasn't even a buzzword. I’m the guy who helped carve out the Internet as we know it today—before SEO, ORM, and influencer marketing had cool acronyms. I don’t just watch trends; I anticipate them, shape them, and leave my mark on them. I’m unapologetically contrarian, fiercely independent, and relentlessly driven to push boundaries.From my days pioneering online communities and digital publishing to being named a Top 50 Social Media Power Influencer by Forbes, I’ve never been one to sit back and follow the status quo. I’ve built digital strategies for Fortune 500 giants, engineered massive SEO turnarounds, and led digital PR campaigns that transformed brands. I’ve run my own digital marketing firms, including Abraham Harrison, and worked with titans like Kimberly Clark, Greenpeace, and the US Department of Treasury. I don’t “gig.” I architect digital futures.But let’s get one thing straight—I’m nowhere near done.I’m here for the next challenge, the next frontier. I don’t want short-term, piecemeal projects. I want to build legacies—whether it’s overhauling a brand’s online presence, creating a bulletproof SEO strategy, or crafting digital ecosystems that dominate. I’ve done the grind; now I’m ready to work smarter, not harder. So if you’re a recruiter, a company, or a team looking for a digital strategist who will tear down walls, rebuild them stronger, and make sure your brand stays miles ahead of the competition, then let’s talk.What you get with me:🎆 20+ years shaping and transforming digital strategies for global brands.🎆 SEO that’s more than just keywords—it’s about visibility, authority, and making your brand unmissable.🎆 Online reputation management that turns crises into comebacks and builds digital armor.🎆A track record of driving engagement, growth, and influence before it was cool.I’m Chris Abraham. I break rules, build strategies, and thrive in chaos. Ready for what’s next?
