Biography

Chris Tuff was one of the first advertisers to work directly with Mark Zuckerberg in 2006 and filmed one of the first “viral” videos, which landed him on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. Chris was one of the first marketers to work directly with Facebook and is now one of the foremost thought leaders in the social space. The youngest partner in history at 22squared, a 100-year-old advertising firm, he is a pioneer of the social media digital marketing space. He oversees all aspects of social media strategy, paid, owned, and earned content, as well as measurement and optimization. Always on top of emerging trends, he’s also responsible for partnership development with new technologies and guides social innovation practice. Chris has helped drive engagement rates, advocacy, and social ROI for Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin-Robbins, Costa Rica Tourism, and Publix, to name a few.

Tuff’s natural ability to connect with his nearly 80% millennial and Gen Z workforce led him to publish the national bestselling The Millennial Whisperer in 2018. A global movement soon followed, as Tuff shared lessons on empathy and genuine connection at work on some of the largest stages in the world including such Fortune 100 companies as Nike.

In 2021, Tuff shifted toward connections outside of organizations in writing his latest book, Save Your Asks. He’s interviewed some of the world’s greatest leaders and entrepreneurs and is publishing this handbook to equip everyone with the tools to become better salespeople and networkers through a focus on authenticity and connection. In this book, he highlights real world examples of “askholes” and such sales techniques as “shawshanking.” Tuff likes to leave audiences with stories they remember and free tactics they can immediately implement.

Tuff is a highly accomplished digital marketer, investor, business development leader, and public speaker. When the Vanderbilt graduate and advocate of empathy and connection disconnects from his passionate work, you’ll find him spending time with his wife and two daughters, chasing chickens around their Atlanta home, or kiteboarding.

Chris Tuff Reviews

“This was the first time that NALFA departed from having traditional technical speakers during our semi-annual meetings. We are so glad we did-the response from the attendees was overwhelming. So many people came up to me after the event to thank me for inviting Chris. Chris listened to the needs of our organization and our attendees felt valued and heard. We all left with our eyes opened to a new perspective! We gained practical tools that can have a direct impact on our respective corporate cultures and especially with employee retention. This message from Chris was a trajectory changer, exactly what we needed for today’s business climate. Thank you, Chris!”

— Esq. General Counsel and Public Relations Manager, Swiss Krono, USA

“Chris really cares about helping people and improving their lives. He is an infectious speaker and an incredible communicator. His speaking engagements and books have been our client’s absolute favorites!”

— Employee Benefits Practice Leader, USI Insurance Services

“Having led a national CEO peer group organization for close to 20 years I have had the privilege of hearing from some of the best speakers in the world (Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, and Vern Harnish) just to name a few and without hesitation would putChris in that esteemed class. Not only does Chris bring incredible energy and passion to his talks but as important a high level of practical content that our business leaders can easily understand and implement into their respective organizations. In short, any company would be lucky to have someone like Chris share his insights with them.”

— President, Chief Executive Network

“I spent a career building professional success because I was taught that was what you needed to do before you could pursue the personal fulfillment that you really wanted. Chris showed me that you could actually bring the two together and that the glue is authentic human connection. In the year since I first heard Chris speak and walk through what that process looks like, my professional life and personal life have grown in ways I could have never expected. The ROI is virtually incalculable”
