Chris Thornhill

Chris is on a mission, to clean up marketing and put ethics right at the forefront. Chris spent the first fifteen years of his career launching and growing brands across the globe for high profile businesses like AutoTrader, Carlsberg and Goodwood. It was only after he joined the charity, Dementia Support, as a Trustee, that he was inspired to take his experience and values to the wider community. When Chris and Co-Founder, Jen Bayford, set up Growth Animals, in the height of the pandemic, they were inspired by a mission to help businesses grow their bottom line AND positive impact, through marketing that is helpful and inspiring, not manipulative or intrusive. They are now the Brighton based, B-Corp Certified marketing agency, who help SME's to step up their marketing via Marketing Strategy, Brand Development and Outsourced Marketing Direction.
