SKUNK are proud to announce the addition of commercials director Chris Palmer to the increasingly impressive US roster.
Of the signing, Matt Factor, Founder of SKUNK, says “I first met Chris in London in the early 2000’s. I don’t remember much from that night, except being left wanting to know who was this eccentric, entertaining, endearing magic man who’s created some of the coolest ads out of London as both a creative and director? Now I get to find out first hand. I’m honoured Chris has chosen SKUNK for his next adventure in the US and excited to make magic with him.”
Chris Palmer began his creative career at Central St Martins, working as a courier while studying; scooting around London delivering to ad agencies. One fateful day he met Rosie Arnold, who told him about a job opportunity at BBH…and the rest is history. When Chris made his pivotal move to production a few years and many British Arrows later, he very quickly founded Gorgeous Enterprises, which went on to become arguably one of the most successful production companies in the world. In 2012 Chris and Gorgeous both received Most Awarded Director and Production Company in D&AD history awards respectively.
Along with Chris’ feeling about Matt - “I love Matt Factor and couldn’t resist jumping into bed with him”, and SKUNK’s ability to further expose Chris’ unique charm and talent to the US market, this partnership offers a superior experience for collaborators and the power to produce more ground breaking work for years to come.
