Neuger Communications Group

A founding member of Neuger Communications Group, Christopher has made a career of understanding the needs, wants and perceptions of the marketplace. He provides strategic communications counsel and leadership for the firm, and oversees our entire graphic design team.

An energetic and passionate account leader, Christopher works with clients from a broad range of industries, from agriculture and education to manufacturing and construction, as well as for several not-for-profit organizations. He’s planned and implemented high-level integrated communications plans; spearheaded the development and execution of websites, social media efforts and e-campaigns; led from concept-to-production print communications vehicles; and designed and rolled-out coordinated advertising efforts.

Committed to the value of tight, coordinated integration of communications activities, Christopher recently provided lead counsel on a program that was recognized as a finalist for a Minnesota PRSA (Public Relations Society of America) award for communications excellence in business and industry.

Prior to joining Neuger Communications Group, Christopher served as the associate director of communications for St. Olaf College, where he shouldered the responsibility of helping the media cover the college’s 27 NCAA intercollegiate athletic teams, shepherded the implementation of the college’s institutional identity, and provided key communications input throughout a $125 million capital campaign. In 2001 he helped lead St. Olaf to a Minnesota PRSA award for top nonprofit communications program.

In 1999, he traveled to Hønefoss, Norway, to play professional basketball. While there, he also found time to teach English to elementary school students, revamp the Hønefoss team website, develop a new mascot and logo for the team, and establish relationships with corporate sponsors for the Hønefoss Golden Bears sports franchise.

Christopher is a graduate of Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in creative writing. He is the creator of Haikuesday, an every-Tuesday collection of assorted original haikus by authors in several states. His favorite word is “hippopotamus,” although he prefers elephants in real life.

Originally from the remote reaches of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Christopher and his wife, Hana, now reside in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, with their young son, Miles.
