MY STORY
Christina Skinner BA, MFA
Born in Vancouver, BC
Works all over the place.
Hello.
I am a writer, communications strategist and successful entrepreneur with ten years’ experience in writing, communications, and successful brand development.
​
My passion is to use the key structure of story to build and propel successful brands and communities.
​
I've worked for companies with big names and small names. I've helped transform small companies into big companies. I've created powerful videos. I've strategized and written communications, marketing and business plans globally. I've driven sales. I've brought ideas to life. I've increased followers and likes and most importantly, built lasting communities. I've even made the most 'boring' parts of doing business interesting and fun.
Honestly, I've done a lot of things. Let's talk soon so we can do more things together.
