The strategy behind your story
Chris Blose
With 20-plus years of experience in journalism and content marketing, Chris Blose is a storyteller at heart, and one who marries business strategy to narrative nuance. Before starting The Narrator, he spent a decade-plus honing his skills at leading independent content marketing firms TMG Custom Media, Manifest and Imagination, serving as client-facing VP of Content for the latter two. His work for Fortune-500 companies, leading national hospital systems, nonprofits, higher education institutions and more have earned more than 20 industry awards since 2010. Chris understands how stories and information — from deep dives to short-form social interactions — can meet audience needs and serve business objectives, neither at the exclusion of the other.

“Since 2009, Chris Blose has been a valued partner of Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business, helping us relaunch the award-winning Georgetown Business magazine and create our first ever annual report on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“Chris Blose is a gifted content strategist and creative thinker. In the 10+ years that I’ve worked with him, I have been continually impressed by his ability to take a nebulous idea or germ of a program and to spin that into a fully-fledged product that advances organizational goals and enhances brand positioning. He is a talented writer — both feature and copy — and brings an enthusiasm and zest for excellence that have made my projects sing across the various organizations in which I’ve worked during our collaborations. I could not recommend Chris more highly — his work will elevate any project.”
