Chris Smith – Founder of kCross Brand Alignment Consultancy
Chris Smith is a 5th generation native of Arizona. His family has farmed, ranched and rodeoed there since 1877. The kCross brand has been in his family since the 1950′s when his great grandfather registered the cattle brand with the state of Arizona. Having been around cowboys and their stories for most of his life, Chris is a storyteller at heart. Chris has created a proprietary methodology called ‘The Campfire Effect.’ The Campfire Effect is a framework that teaches organizations and entrepreneurs how to do 3 things: 1. Get clear on what you brand stands for and how to tell your story in a powerful way. 2. Create powerful influence by connecting what you do to who you are. 3. Create brand loyalty with your clients and employees. He also loves his time as a board member for the non-profit AZ Common Ground.
