Recommendations For 'Dangerous' Chris D'Angelo
“I have worked with a lot of young creatives fresh out of school over my many years in advertising. Chris is by far and away the best of them all. He is that rare person who can concept ideas and design well. He also has great computer skills. I highly recommend Chris. He's an extremely hard worker who never let me down.” June 20, 2009
Tommy Kane, Creative Director, Cheil USA
managed Chris at Cheil USA
“Our agency had a big pitch a while ago. Lots of meetings, lots of senior-level people throwing ideas around. And there at the end of the table was Chris, junior to everyone, no doubt nameless to a few. But at the end of each session Chris' ideas were consistently among the ones that survived. In fact I believe one of his concepts made it into the presentation. Yes, he has great Art Director chops. But beyond the titles and skill sets, he's a very strong conceptual thinker. We all saw it.” March 31, 2009

“I worked with Chris for quite a while at Cheil. He's a hard-working, persistent art director who can take direction as well as concept with the best-o-them. I think he's very talented and brings a lot to any organization he's associated with. He has good instincts, a good attitude and is a nice guy to boot! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him either freelance or as a member of my staff.” March 22, 2009

“Chris is a great creative thinker. I tried to hire him right out of school but my friend Tom McManus beat me to it. I have no doubt that he will make a huge mark in the advertising world. Probably sooner rather than later.” April 3, 2009

“Chris loves dodgeball. He has even written the definitive book on it which you can get on Amazon. Chris also loves advertising which is a lot like dodgeball. He knows how do dodge crappy briefs and follow through with a great ad. He knows how to pitch insightful ideas that crash into your mind with full force. So get into the Zen of dodgeball and advertising and hire Chris immediately as he dodges his way to the award shows.” April 1, 2009
