Who is C.C. Chapman?

I’m a lot of things…

There are many aspects OF who I am and what I do. Putting together THIS PAGE is one of my least favorite things to write because talking about myself is not my idea of a fun time. When asked what I do my current answer is, "I create, teach and motivate people to do more good in the world."

Of course, that doesn't cover all that I work on professionally and personally, so that is why I created this page.

Official bios and headshots can be found below.

Who is C.C. Chapman? I'm a...

Writer

I'm constantly writing and always working on my next book. You may have read some of my published works including Amazing Things Will HappenContent Rules or 101 Steps to Making Video Like a Pro.

Freelance writing or citizen reporting assignments excite me. Plus, I’ve been blogging since July 2002 and words are always flowing out of me in one way or another.

Photographer

If I had to choose a style, I'd say my photos are a mix of documentary, travel and lifestyle photography. People and places I cross are some of my favorite things to take photos of and I have a special love of taking portraits. I rarely go anywhere without a camera in my hand and I've been fortunate to see my photos on the pages of Rolling Stone and The Wall Street Journal.

I'm currently shooting with a Fuji X-T3, an iPhone 7+ and a DJI Drone.

My photos can be found on Instagram and Flickr.

Educator

Helping others learn and inspiring them to achieve their goals is the most fulfilling thing I do.

Currently, I’m a Visiting Instructor of Business and Management at Wheaton College where I am also the Program & Partnership Director for Wheaton Innovates with MassChallenge.

I’ve been an Adjunct Professor of Marketing and Communications at Bentley University and have also developed and taught courses for LinkedIn LearningLynda.com, CreativeLive, and Treehouse.

Marketing Consultant

With over twenty years of marketing, online media and community building experience I have the skills and experience to help your organization no matter the size. Previous clients have included The Coca-Cola Company, American Eagle Outfitters, and HBO.

I focus on social good/impact marketing, content marketing, and brand strategy. My favorite clients are NGOs, nonprofits or brands looking to make a difference in the world.

Feel free to double check my credentials on LinkedIn.

Keynote Speaker

I'm happiest when on stage educating and inspiring an audience of any size, anywhere in the world.

I have spoken at everything from large international events, corporate retreats and at special gatherings of unique individuals. If you need someone who will inspire, educate and entertain your audience I'd love to chat.

Advocate & Volunteer

I believe in using my skills, time and voice to champion causes that are important to me. I'm especially interested in anything military, dogs or children focused.

Currently I’m a member of the Aspen Institutes National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development: Parent Advisory Panel, on the board of The Hockey Foundation, part of the No Kid Hungry Social Council and a member of the Advisory Board for The Concordia Project.

In the past I served as the President of the Board at Wediko, was named a UN Foundation Social Good Fellow and was a member of the ONE Girls & Women Advisory Board

Everything Else

On top of all that I'm a proud life long New Englander who was born and raised in New Hampshire, but now resides outside of Boston.

I married my high school sweetheart, have two amazing kids and love being a dad.

I've been online since 1989, began blogging in 2002 and podcasting in 2004.

Previous endeavors I created include Accident Hash, Passion Hit TV, Digital Dads and The Advance Guard.

Tattoos, travel and the outdoors turn me on. There are fewer things more perfect than a well-done cocktail, a delicious meal or live art of any sort. I love my GORUCK, Field Notes and am a proud Misfit.

To understand me is to understand that I try to live a purposeful life every day that is full of adventure, love and making the world around me a better place for all.

Fun Bio

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more multi-faceted or enthusiastic creative/strategic partner in the marketing and content creation fields. This greatly hails from C.C.’s unstoppable combination of marketing experience and savvy (which a great many professionals claim to have), and incalculably valuable “on the ground” knowledge and insight as an influential content creator himself (which a great many professionals do not). The result is a best-of-both-worlds mashup of marketing expertise.

C.C. Chapman sports the pro cred to be a talker (working closely with such clients as American Eagle Outfitters, Coca-Cola, HBO and Warner Bros.), and the passion and gumption to be a doer (creating content for the emerging Online Dad market, marketing professionals, music fans and more). He’s helped create, manage and execute ambitious online and offline marketing campaigns for startups and multinationals — and has the invaluable good sense to know which outreach strategies work with audiences, and which ones fall flat.

He authoritatively speaks your language. He speaks your CMO’s language. Most important, he’s fluent in your market’s language. It’s a killer double-chocolate-and-peanut-butter combination. Contact C.C. to learn how he can help your organization achieve its business goals. There’s, even more, to know about C.C. Chapman if you want to read it — and you should. C.C.’s skills are an embarrassment of riches.

DISCLOSURES

I'm involved with a lot of organizations and clients. I believe in being completely transparent and open about everything I'm working on. I'll do my best to keep this updated and of course, will clearly disclose relationships in any post that require them.

I am open to being pitched and invited on press trips.

Companies do send me items in the hopes that I will review it or share with my community. If you send me something it does not guarantee a review.

With that in mind, my mailing address is:

9 C Medway Road #117 Milford, MA 01757
