I have launched products and services. I have generated print, broadcast, and online earned media coverage reaching local, national, and international audiences. I have written and managed the design and production of nearly every kind of print and digital content and collateral imaginable. And I have planned and managed numerous events.I am also well-versed in content marketing and digital communications. I have created and managed websites and driven e-commerce sales.

PrincipalChris Dobens Communications Jan 2013 - May 2018New York, NyI rebuilt my freelance business, providing a variety of marketing and corporate communications services for entrepreneurs and businesses as well as subcontracting for other agencies. With an emphasis on content marketing, copywriting, digital communications, and media relations, my work included writing and producing bios, direct mail, marketing collateral, press materials, print and email newsletters, social media, and websites as well as some strategic planning. I did work for Asphalt Green, a dozen Douglas Elliman real estate agents, and subcontracted to two public relations agencies, Sohmer Associates and William Morrison Communications, supporting their consumer electronics and healthcare brands. Looking to return to the nonprofit world, where I find more meaning to my work, I wound down my business once I discovered an opportunity to serve as the Director of Communications for an environmental justice nonprofit.

Marketing DirectorAsphalt Green Oct 2007 - May 2010New York, NyI served as the Marketing Director for this $13-million sports and fitness nonprofit, where I was responsible for promoting paid memberships and fee-based classes for children and adults as well as free programs for underserved communities. I revitalized both the brand and the communications function for this complex organization, with 300 employees across seven departments. Managing the four-person communications department and its budget, I created and implemented an integrated, holistic, data-driven marketing plan to increase the visibility and understanding of the organization’s brand, mission, and programs and to support its fundraising efforts. As a result, I helped draw an average of 700,000 annual visitors to its 5.5-acre campus and set multiple records for membership and program sales (much of which came via e-commerce), with around half of the growth coming from new customers. Despite this success, I eventually chose to resign due to a combination of factors, one of which was the opportunity to spend a month down in South Africa with my brother and his young sons for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. -
PrincipalChris Dobens Consulting Oct 2001 - Oct 2007New York, NyThe success I achieved in the first 12 years of my career afforded me the opportunity to run my own consultancy, working directly with select businesses as well as subcontracting for other marketing and public relations agencies. My focus was primarily on public relations and copywriting. Clients ranged from the Desmond Tutu Peace Centre and Fordham University to a management & training consultancy and an eBay entrepreneur. I also did work for consumer electronics, environmental, healthcare, and marketing brands as a subcontractor. I decided to close up shop when presented with a chance to serve my community as the Marketing Director of a local nonprofit.
