Chris Weil Email Address

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Welcome to Momentum, the Total Brand Experience agency. Because today the most important product a brand makes--aside from the actual product it makes--is experiences. And at the heart of every meaningful experience is a big idea.

It’s no secret that people don’t engage with traditional advertising like they used to. Their unwillingness to accept intrusive and uninvited marketing messages is underscored by the use of ad blockers by millions of people around the world. Chris leads Momentum Worldwide with the vision that you can block an ad, but you can’t block an experience—and no one wants you to. That’s why he’s proud to lead a truly experiential advertising agency—in the business of creating more personal, sophisticated, emotional, and ultimately rewarding connections between brands and consumers. Momentum is built on the axiom that it’s not what brands say, it’s what they do that matters. So while traditional advertising is figuring out what to SAY next, Momentum sets out to DO the industry’s most shareable, indelible experiences that bring people closer to what they love; experiences that drive intimacy at scale for some of the world’s most famous brands. Under his leadership, Momentum has led the way for the eventual mainstreamification of experiential advertising, leveraging sponsorships as the primary springboard. Momentum now manages over $4 billion in client sponsorship assets for American Express, Verizon, Microsoft, United Airlines, SAP, William Grant & Sons and Coca-Cola. There’s never been a better time in our business to do exactly what our clients come to us to do and as Chairman & CEO, Chris leads a team of over 1,000 talented, creative individuals across more than 30 offices around the world creating the best brand experiences possible. During his time as CEO, Momentum has achieved regular double-digit growth year-over-year and has been concurrently named Agency of the Year by numerous publications and award shows around the world. In 2017 Momentum was named to Ad Age’s Standout Agencies List, the first brand experience agency to ever achieve that honor. More recently Momentum featured in the top 10 UK agencies with the highest percentage of multi-cultural senior staff.
