Chris Downey

After 25 years working inside some of the biggest names in tech, including Microsoft, Dell, IBM, and Advanced Micro Devices, I decided it was time to build something of my own. I’ve led social, digital, paid, and performance marketing for enterprise teams across the industry.

I grew up working for entrepreneurs and want to bring my large enterprise marketing experience to you, and help you scale your company to help you realize your entrepreneurial dreams.

So if my story resonates with you, let’s chat. I only work with a very few founders, so let’s see if we’re a good fit.

What’s in a name?

Reverb Strategic icon

Naming a company is no small thing, especially in 2025, when it feels like every great domain has already been claimed. But I knew I wanted a name that captured the kind of marketing I believe in: work that doesn’t just make noise, but creates reverberations. Marketing that leaves a lasting, meaningful impact on the industry, on customers, and on the business itself.

Reverb (both the word and the iconography) spoke to that idea. And as someone who’s called Austin, Texas, the Live Music Capital of the World, home for 15 years, with a deep love for music and a habit of picking up the guitar whenever I can, the name carried personal weight too.

So here I am: launching Reverb Strategic Marketing. Built on experience. Backed by purpose. Tuned for results that resonate.
