Chris Gensheer's Linkedin Analytics

In my 20+ years across branding, marketing, and leadership, I've championed the power of human-centered communication. As Founder and CEO of Empathy Marketing Group, I've transformed ideas into 6-figure successes by focusing on the voice of the customer and persuasive messaging. My journey has been about more than just business growth; it’s about resonating deeply with audiences. At the heart of my strategy lies the art of empathy - understanding and speaking to the core needs and aspirations of clients. This approach has been pivotal in developing profitable campaigns for prominent executives and leaders from Disney Parks, Google, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. My expertise in brand and marketing strategy is complemented by a passion for training and coaching. I've empowered hundreds of business leaders through live international events and workshops, helping them to embrace persuasive storytelling and customer-focused communication. During my tenure at Brand Builders Group, I honed personal branding and voice strategies for individuals, shaping their stories to capture attention and engage effectively. As a StoryBrand Certified Guide, I've crafted compelling content that speaks directly to the audience's needs and aspirations. In my role at Common Ground Network and Christ Church Mansfield, I led the organization to new heights in fundraising and membership through strategic, empathetic leadership and clear, persuasive communication. This role underlined the importance of understanding and advocating for the community's voice in every initiative. With a specialized focus on strategic messaging and brand growth, my role as Director of Communications at Sellmark Corporation harnesses the power of empathy-driven narratives. We've successfully amplified brand presence by tapping into user experience writing and presentations, skills sharpened through my previous venture as a Personal Brand and Content Strategist. At every turn of my career, the focus has been clear: to create messages that not only persuade and sell but also connect and resonate on a human level. Whether it's through crafting compelling copy, developing strategic marketing plans, or leading teams, my approach has always been about understanding and valuing the customer's voice. Now, I'm pursuing ways of leveraging generative AI to help scale the unscalable - the human element. Ai cannot replace you; personality always shines through the medium. But these technologies can help amplify you. I help my clients leverage these innovations to reach their customers and grow their business.
