Chris Freeland

Chris leads the RAPP UK operation (now incorporating Proximity London) with a talented team of around 500 people. Having grown up through Client Services, and held leadership positions for over 20 years, his passion lies in building enduring client relationships by setting standards for excellence. Chris believes fiercely in helping everyone to be the best version of themselves by standing up for individuality. In fact in 2018 & 2019, the IPA awarded RAPP a Gold accreditation for learning and development. It’s therefore unsurprising that great talent follows Chris, which in turn, has led to great work and lasting client relationships. Some clients have partnered with Chris for over a decade and he’s worked across all sectors from automotive to airlines, finance to FMCG, and telcos to charities. Chris is increasingly known across the Omnicom network and others for his dedication and innovation around making mental wellbeing part of the business’s operating rhythm. He brings all the talent of RAPP, across all disciplines, together to create a unique offering in data, tech, marketing sciences and creativity.
