Social Media Coordinator

Christopher Oprasert

Social Media Coordinator

Christopher Oprasert

Christopher is an International Business graduate from MacEwan University's Bachelor of Commerce program. Sidestepping away from his Major, Christopher fell in love with digital marketing while interning in Tokyo. He hopes to integrate both digital marketing and international business together to create something BIG that will take over Amazon one day.

While he's not disturbing his fellow e-marketing team (mainly Beth), Christopher is behind the screen handling all aspects of social media. What he loves about working at CSG? The amount of things he gets to learn and continue to learn from his peers. As an avid learner and a chaser of curiosity, there's only one direction for Christopher to go - Up (which, fun fact, is also one of his favourite Pixar movies).

When Christopher is not on social media (he's actually always on it), he enjoys sitting back and playing video games (currently playing Dragon's Dogma on the Switch). When he isn't on social media or playing video games, you can find him out in the wild doing what he loves best - taking photos.

Although he may be last on the list, you know what they always say - just saving the best for last ;)
