Hola, mucho gusto, I’m Chris Mondragón
I'm Associate Creative Director.
I was born in Colombia, raised in Venezuela and currently residing in the US. During my 11 years of experience, I’ve helped build big ideas and increased revenue for recognized brands across US and Latam.
Early in my career, I won prestigious awards such as Young Lions Film, and the London International Awards invited me twice to their renowned CreativeLIAison program in Las Vegas. These unforgettable experiences have allowed me to create a valuable network of friends and professional connections at a global level; as a result, I have been invited to be a Jury member of different Advertising Festivals in Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America.
There’s more to life: I’m a Dad, autodidact, tireless apprentice, bitcoiner, bike lover and traveler.
