CV
Forty years as a leader in creative development, culminating with CCO positions. Power-Gomez led
brand/ marketing programs for some of the most successful businesses in the world.
A unique combination of classical training and entrepreneurial experience for start-ups and
Fortune-five; he transformed ideas into multi million-dollar revenue streams.
Power-Gomez attended UCLA with a degree in visual Communication. An artist to the core, he was
the ‘National Child Protege High School Artist of the year’ - an elite award from the Ford Foundation
which yielded his full scholarship. When transitioning from Art Director to Creative Director as part of
his career path, Chris embraced the linguistics-side - ultimately becoming known for his extraordinary
abilities to meld ‘words and pictures’ only few in his industry have achieved.
With his work for MetroMedia Television, Power-Gomez was instrumental in creating what is now
television syndication; with the formulation and replication for broadcasting ‘The Nancy Drew and
Hardy Boys Mysteries’ television series.
Chris was also a key member of the group that in support of original creative material successfully
lobbied for and brought to fruition default Federal Copyright laws.
In his decade-long tenure in entertainment as Art Director of MGM/UA and Cannon films he created
brands and marketing for forty-two motion pictures… his show title ‘Runaway Train’ for Golan Globas
(Cannon Films) received an Academy Award nomination. He was a pioneer at successfully bringing
Broadway Theater to Los Angeles - his first initiative sold one-million dollars in advanced ticket sales
for La Cage Aux Folles. Further success with Cats, Evita, 42nd street and more.
Chris then spent two-decades with the global advertising firms in the Wilshire Corridor; Ogilvy &
Mather, Grey Worldwide, Bozel Pacific, Chiat Day - leading creative teams as Creative Director on
National and Fortune 5 accounts; many are now a household name as a result.
Arguably one-of the ten best, most prolific brand developers in the world; Power-Gomez brands are
recognized world-wide - some two hundred. Notable top-tier consumer brands include Gotch’a,
Sketchers Shoes, No Fear and Conroy’s/ 1-800-Flowers. His work advanced many others including
Disney, MTV, TRW, Hyatt, Hilton, Citicorp, Honda, Apple, GM and more.
In 2010 Chris' life drastically changed - as a pedestrian in a crosswalk in Westlake Village CA, Chris was
struck-down by an 84 passenger bus traveling at 35mph. After crashing-through the windshield and
being launched into the air… he landed forty-feet down the road deceased. EMT’s and first
responders revived and stabilized - a lengthy coma followed. He awoke with only fragmented memory
of his life, many physical disabilities and Traumatic Brain Injury, which he struggles with everyday.
Two-years of intense recover in-sued; having to relearn the basics of life… walking, talking, breathing
and swallowing.
Its been a long road. Nine-years later, Power-Gomez is again a premier brand creator, and heads-up
Power-Gomez, Inc., managing businesses obtained through acquisition or start-up. They include:
Core business areas - BRANDING, PUBLISHING, LICENSING, CONTENT MARKETING Industries served
- Automotive, Baseball, Home Improvement

Magazines in 2020.
Power-Gomez sees them as powerful solutions to Car Dealers, and home improvement industry
companies in off-setting weaknesses in Digital Marketing's ability to communicate to their local
community.

brilliance and automotive love in the pages of Automobile Lifestyles Magazine.
