Christoph Becker

NEW YORK, USA // Is an advertising and a communications globally recognized and awarded creative mind and leader. He has spent more than 35 years building creative businesses, brands, and creative cultures around the globe. His dream and goal to be always living and contributing to the avant garde of creativity has lead him over the years to develop a highly international, eclectic, creative, and successful career in advertising and MK.

Before Whalar Group, the largest and leading creative global powerhouse, where he acts as its Global Chief Creative Officer, he was the founder /ceo + chief creative officer of the global creative advertising agency network gyro. The largest most awarded independent  b2b agency in the world. Among numerous industry awards gyro was named 5 times global b2b agency of the year in the USA in recognition of its groundbreaking creativity and pioneering role in the b2b MK reinvention.
Prior to the gyro adventure, his career took him all over the world from being the Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Foote Cone and Belding in NYC, to be the Regional LATAM, Chief Creative Director for Bozell, based in Mexico City. He started his career as an Art Director and Creative Director for creative agencies like GGK and Ogilvy and Mather in Madrid, Spain. Becker has been invited to give keynotes and master classes at a number of high-profile events such as the Cannes Lions Festival, Fortune Brainstorm and CES, Spice Singapore, Lynx Dubai, Forbes CMO Institute NY, among others and served as a member of the Jury on the most prestigious creative festivals in the industry around the globe.
In 2008 Christoph was inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the Association of National Advertisers. Christoph always believed that the power of ideas could contribute to building a better world. This conviction together with his passion for humanitarian causes, specifically Refugees, made him join in 2005 the IRC as overseer and collaborator first and board member later .
During all these years Christoph had the enormous privilege and honor to feel, experience and see firsthand the IRC’s enormous impact and more importantly the IRC teams’ priceless work in action on the ground. He visited several IRC programs all over the world such as Afghanistan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, CAR, Cameroon, DRC, Rwanda, Mali, Liberia, and Jordan, among others.

When not sitting in a plane and flying the flag of the power of ideas, Christoph spends all his time possible with his 11-year-old daughter Luna in Manhattan, NYC, where he lives.
