“Chris is a dynamic and forward thinking digital strategy
entrepreneur. When it comes to D2C music technology, Chris Thompson
is the man in the know! Would definitely work with Chris again
should the opportunity arise.”
Jakomi Mathews, Director, Music Void Consultancy
“Chris is a positive and creative professional and has been a
pleasure to work with over the years. His ability to think around
the opportunities that some of us call ‘problems’ and to keep
forward momentum in whatever he does is unparalleled. His
understanding of both marketing and technology, particularly within
the Music D2C arena is impressive and I could not recommend him
highly enough.”
Seth Jackson, Head Of Mobile, PIAS
“Chris is one of the most interesting people I know in the music
industry. I always enjoy our conversations as his passion for
helping connect music fans to the music, by aiding the industry to
improve their outward message and processes, is infectious. His
firm grasp of technology, how it is applied to the music industry,
and his ability to make it all seem so simple is at the heart of
his success. A true pioneer.”
Alex Brandson, VP & Managing Director, International,
INgrooves
“Chris comes with a very wide knowledge of the industry and the
rare attribute in a consultant of having set up, developed and run
his own company which he then sold.”
Jeremy Orris, CEO, Plug@Go
“After being asked to join DA it was immediately clear that
Chris was the heart and soul of the organization. An early
visionary in the rapidly evolving music landscape, he was among the
first to devise an integrated direct-to-fan solution that allowed
artists greater control over their business. He then built it from
the ground up on guts and hard work. Chris's forward-thinking,
entrepreneurial drive and tireless work ethic will be a benefit to
anyone lucky enough to partner with him.”
Mark Reynolds, Director, Online Development and Marketing,
Cinder Block
“I hired Chris @ his former company to deploy e-commerce and
hosting projects and always found him consistently efficient,
knowledgeable, honest and transparent. Great guy - happy to
recommend him.”

Atomic

me know. We truly appreciate the hard work and crazy
hours."
