American Express OPEN Forum

Our client list has ranged from million dollar-budget national mortgage clients to local businesses who utilize broadcast, outdoor, web and print advertising, all of whom enjoy excellence in advertising with a very strong eye on conserving as much budget as possible for media firepower rather than fees and production.

Guided by the son of a real bonafide "Mad Man" from 50s and 60s Madison Avenue, with unusual experience, Chris Angelus has had the drive, interest, and tenacity to change disciplines throughout a storied advertising career, starting with working in account services on Bank of Boston, Seagram, Mobil and The Arizona Lottery, to making the change to creative, producing work on Tetley Tea, Ocean Spray and Bank of Boston, to selling media.

His first agency, FirstStar Communications was launched in 1997, after Chris was asked by two former clients to help them with making creative and media decisions. Now, Angelus Creative Communications has an established agency with clients on both coasts having broadened services to include social media consultation, and event services. Having moved the agency and his family to the Portland area (because he loved it), Chris and his associates are poised to establish new relationships with clients who will benefit from a partner who will be involved in all facets of their advertising.

FirstStar has available for syndication a portfolio of TV, outdoor and print advertising done for a number of VW dealers, which has also been adapted to other makes. Visit our website and Email us for the password (Volkswagen of America requires us to password-protect our work.) It's far from the expected "guy in the lot" auto dealer advertising.
