Chris is hands down the most talented creative director that I have ever worked with. His visual motion graphics are stunning (that was the first thing Fox Sports pointed out when we delivered the World MMA Awards proggram to them), his original music composition is amazing, and his creative eye are off the charts. Beyond that; he nails deadlines, and is a pleasure to be around. I give Chris my highest recommendation.

Chris Maguire and I worked together on several live campaigns in Brazil, Japan, and various major US cities for over a year. In that time, I learned that Chris has a true passion for art and his craft, but more so I respect and recognize his integrity and passion for what he does. Chris is a tireless worker, lives up to his deadlines and supersedes expectations 10 times out of 10. I really hope to have the honor of working with Chris again in the future.

I work in Client Services and it is tremendous to have Chris on the team. He understands the importance of keeping clients happy as well as producing quality deliverables. I can count on Chris to create exceptional art work and more importantly he knows how to manage his time. There are times I provide Chris with challenging tasks in what seems like an impossible time frame and he always manages to deliver. He’s full of ideas and not only does Chris have an eye for art and style, he can take something good and make it great. I am thankful to have Chris as a colleague and one I hope to have for years to come.
