ABOUT:

Chris Mondragón - ACD / Copywriter

Mondra is a tireless thinker, writer and storyteller.

He has written and directed groundbreaking campaigns that have built big ideas and driven growth for some of the most recognized brands in the U.S. and Latin America, from Mastercard, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo to Frito-Lay, Dunkin’, Nestlé, Prudential, Canon, and the California Lottery.

In 2023, he was recognized by Bloomberg Línea as one of the 100 most innovative creatives in Latin America.

Since the beginning of his career, Christian has been behind several award-winning projects, including Second Chances (2019–2020) for Donate Life California and The BulletPen Project (2016–2017), created for the signing of a peace treaty that aimed to end 52 years of war in Colombia.

His work has been featured by CNN, Deutsche Welle, NBC, ABC, Telemundo, Little Black Book, the Miami Herald, and other international media outlets.

Early in his career, he won prestigious awards such as Young Lions Film, and the London International Awards invited him twice to their renowned Creative LIAisons program in Las Vegas. These experiences helped him build a valuable network of global connections and friendships — and led to his participation as a jury member in multiple international advertising festivals across Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America.

Recently, he directed the “Corridos Rescue Corridos” campaign for Universal Music Publishing Group, featuring singer-songwriter Ivonne Galaz, an initiative that merged music, identity, and social purpose.

Christian’s creativity has been recognized with honors from Cannes Lions, The One Show, Clio Awards, D&AD, London International Awards, New York Festivals, ADC, Radio Mercury Awards, Effies, and Mad Stars, among others.

He currently lives in Orange County, California, and is part of the creative talent at Casanova//McCann.
