Hi, my name is Chris Hobson.
I’m a strategic communications expert.The Why
Effective communication is a catalyst for change. My professional mission is to ensure that every individual has access to clear, impactful information. In this era of disinformation, it’s vital for those of us in communications to make information accessible and actionable. Communications strategies should be tailored to individual needs and backgrounds, taking into account diverse experiences and perspectives to craft meaningful messages.
The How
Complex challenges demand multifaceted approaches. So, how do we improve information delivery? Whether it’s translating intricate data into understandable narratives, analyzing metrics to find user-centric solutions, or amplifying diverse voices, I’ve dedicated my career to facilitating the free flow of information. I envision a communications landscape where information is delivered when and where people most consume it. Central to this vision is addressing and mitigating mis- and disinformation.

The What
Everyone deserves to be heard and understood. Through my writing, video production, podcasting, policy analysis, and other communications avenues, I consistently prioritize ground truth. By amplifying voices — whether through the written word, podcast episodes, or video narratives — I strive to inspire people to recognize and value the stories and experiences of others.
