Hi, I’m Chris. I specialize in prestige journalism and content marketing that moves the needle. Let’s float together.
The pontoon is a versatile boat—strong and steady, one-of-a-kind, entertaining as heck. The same adjectives apply to Pontoon Creative, a one-man content shop run by Twin Cities-based writer, editor and creative strategist Chris Clayton.
I’ve worked with CNN, Eater national, Radisson Hotels, Delta Air Lines and Outside magazine, to name a few. My words and creative vision have been recognized by the North American Travel Journalists Association, the Society of Professional Journalists, FOLIO and many others. Need a white paper? A line editor? Eight-thousand words on the history of Haribo gummy bears? I’m your guy.
