A BIT ABOUT ME

ChrisBash.jpg

I’m a marketing and communications leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and impact. Over the past two decades, I’ve helped organizations in technology, finance, education, and healthcare grow their brands, engage their audiences, and translate big ideas into measurable results. Whether developing integrated campaigns, leading teams, or aligning cross-functional goals, I’m driven by the challenge of turning complex problems into clear, actionable strategies.

​

My career began in the creative world of design and branding—an experience that continues to shape how I think visually, tell stories, and build cohesive brand identities. That creative foundation, combined with an analytical mindset, has made me a hybrid leader who can move fluidly between vision and execution. At Dimensional Fund Advisors, I contributed to $90B+ in AUM growth through creative strategy; at the Texas Public Charter Schools Association, I helped secure $60M in facilities funding that changed the landscape for Texas educators.

​

Beyond the corporate world, I founded Exercise & Excess, a lifestyle and community brand that combines fitness, friendship, and fun. What started as a small running group has grown to over 4,500 members—one of Austin’s largest and most engaged communities. It’s a living example of what authentic connection, consistent storytelling, and purpose-driven branding can achieve.

​

Austin has been home since 1999, and I’m deeply connected to its creative energy—serving on boards, raising my two amazing kids, and finding inspiration in everything from live music to trail runs. I’m a lifelong songwriter and guitarist who approaches storytelling in all forms with the same curiosity and craft. At heart, I’m a strategist and storyteller who believes the best marketing starts with genuine connection.
