Communication with Reach and Impact

And I know how to reach people with the stories they need to hear.

 

Meet Christopher Richmond

Seasoned nonprofit and political communications director with proven track record achieving $750K+ earned media for issues and causes, growing statewide email lists by over 40k, and achieving legislative wins in a hostile environment through coalition building.

 

A political strategist and nonprofit communications director

Since 2015, Christopher has specialized in communication for companies, individuals, and causes in Florida. As the communications director for a statewide Florida nonprofit, he spearheaded multiple omnichannel communications strategies to achieve legislative victories in a hostile political environment through strong coalition building, strategic earned media (over $750k since 2020), and omnichannel bilingual digital ad strategies that achieved measurable conversions (more than 100k in digital actions), and worked to apply pressure to key decision makers.

Growing Revenue Through Communications

In addition to strategic advocacy communications, Christopher’s communications skills have brought in millions in revenue through fundraising and grants. At Opportunity For All Floridians, he streamlined digital ad production and video production by bringing them in-house, and he was able to attract tens of thousands of additional grant dollars from coalition partners earmarked for digital ad programming. Christopher’s fundraising brought in over $3 million to a local party in 2020, more than $250k of which came through direct email appeals.

Successful Marketing videos

Companies like Citrix Systems ($3B annual revenue) and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection ($256M annual revenue) have hired Christopher to create marketing videos for them. He’s also produced videos for local candidates and parties which have been viewed millions of times. He’s also produced videos for philanthropic dinners and galas which have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A Trained Documentary Filmmaker

Christopher earned an MFA in Film & Electronic Communications from American University’s School of Communication. He has years of experience as a video editor, motion graphics artist, and graphic designer with Hillmann & Carr Inc. in Washington, DC, working with over 25 museum clients, bringing in over $13 million in contracts. His work includes educational media and interactive experiences for museums and cultural institutions, working with clients such as the Smithsonian Institution, the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum (1.6 million visitors since 2001) and the Library of Congress (1.9 million visitors annually).
