| Chris began his eclectic career while studying English Language at the University Of Edinburgh. He presented shows on student radio station Fresh Air FM, ran union newspaper Midweek, marketed the biggest student club night in Edinburgh and was President of the Edinburgh University Theatre Company.
In 1996 he co-founded ThreeWeeks, a newspaper covering every aspect of the Edinburgh Festival, while offering students a great media training opportunity. In 1998 he co-founded CMU, with the aim of bringing together everyone working in music across the UK.
In 2002 he co-founded UnLimited Media, bringing together the ever expanding operations of both ThreeWeeks and CMU, as well as creating a uniquely integrated media, marketing and content business - offering a range of marketing and content services to other media and brands.
Since then Chris has helped expand ThreeWeeks to the Brighton Festival, launched daily and weekly bulletins under the CMU banner, and launched two new websites - CreativeStudent.net and UnicornJobs.com - as well as leading numerous innovative marketing and content projects for an exciting mix of media, music, youth and consumer brands.
Based at UnLimited's HQ in Shoreditch, and in Edinburgh during August, Chris continues to head up the operations and marketing of UnLimited's media, as well as leading content and marketing programmes for UnLimited's clients.
Meanwhile, through his work on CMU, ThreeWeeks and the other UnLimited media, he has become a leading expert on the music, media and PR industries, and the Brighton and Edinburgh festivals, and regularly comments on these things for other media, including Radio 4's Today programme, Radio 5's Wake Up To Money and Drive show, plus the BBC News Channel, CNN and Sky News.
In his spare time Chris is studying part-time for a Law degree at London Metropolitan University, and is currently writing an academic review of the issues around digital music copyright. He's also thinking about getting round to finishing that novel.
