He obviously didnt wear that shirt to the interview.
If not because of the shirt….
Chris is famous for his ‘loud’ and unique shirts. We miss them everyday still!
That’s actually one of his smartest shirts.
He truly knows how to distinguish himself from all the other people – not just in his choice of clothes, but primarily in his choice of thoughts.
Bravo to Tribal DDB for recognizing this talent… you have done yourselves a favor.
Now all that rests is to actually listen to the guy.
Good luck Chris – am sure you’ll be having loads of fun there
w00t! I’m already looking forward to see great work from Chris.
