Christopher Bicourt

writing. He spent some time in High School as MC Drama, making appearances at open mic nights across the country. It was a growing passion to use his creativity daily. Along the way he also thrived as a young mathematician, a young game coder, and enjoyed playing basketball. For a young man, these were significant accomplishments. They pale in comparison to what he went on to build for himself as an adult. Endeavoring to find a career that combined all the things he enjoyed took him to seek a degree from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communications. While there Christopher was able to participate in and develop a number of projects, documentaries, and music videos. Some of these projects were featured through major outlets such as MTV and The Box, on behalf of a Birmingham Hip Hop Group. He also found accolades showered upon him after the development of the documentary "A Kenya Wedding" showcasing a traditional wedding in Kenya with more than 3000 in attendance. Once he obtained his bachelors degree in Professional Broadcasting, Chris discovered he wasn't satisfied with one degree. In university he obtained a bachelors degree in languages, focus on English and Spanish. This inspired him to experience more of what the world had to offer. Chris chose to move from the United Kingdom to Brazil. Living in Brazil for three years meant he had the opportunity to learn the language, culture, and develop new experiences. One of those new experience opportunities was a job as a Tour Guide. In this role he planned 18 to 22 day excursions across Latin American. As he contributed to and eventually developed his plans he kept in mind all of the expected tourist locations, but weaved in many unexpected folklore and historical locations as well. The variety kept his guests entertained, led Chris to be challenged to find new and exciting places, as well as opened the door to more opportunities. It was an enjoyable venture that he continued operating as when he moved on to Cuba for a few years. A new challenge arose that eventually drew him home. By the time he returned home he was confidently fluent in both Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish. Being multilingual would go on to help him many times through the years. He also developed organizational, communication, and an assortment of other skills that would go on to benefit his career. The challenging adventure was well worth it. Christoper Bicourt accepted a role that inspired his life long adventure in marketing and futurisim. With Aon Global he served as the personal assistant to senior marketing executives. This provided him with the on the job challenges he sought, for a time. The longer he lingered in this position he more he wanted to be working alongside his new teachers instead of for them. In time this path took him to SUSO Drinks Ltd. They recruited him, then put him in a marketing position next to some of the greatest marketers in the industry. It was a one of a kind opportunity that both challenged him and taught him. He grew professionally and thrived alongside these great figures. In the fast paced environment of the sports focused energy drink company he was able to find his footing, pivot to new projects quickly, and begin to develop his own approach to marketing. Time and again Chris saw how his communication skills, gift for storytelling, and creativity provided ways to connect with customers and brands. Eventually he found himself working for Antenna. Here he worked in audio and multimedia guides for cultural locations around the world. He saw how marrying technology and creativity could create more opportunities for his clients. This helped him produce experiences for those around him instead of just a typical marketing campaign. Growth brought him to the first ever wearable augmented reality art exhibit. Marketing on behalf of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and artist Keith Haring with the DeYoung Museum he drew attention to the infinite possibilities on the horizon. While this continues to grow as an industry, Chris knew it would be unlimited in possibility. This event eventually went on to be nominated for an award. As Christopher realized he could do more if he didn't have the constraints of an employer he took a leap of faith. Opening his own copywriting company in 2019, he worked to merge technologies and creativity for each and every client he contracted with. As he designed the marketing plan, it became more than a traditional campaign. There were elements of experience built in to each plan. His mantra was "Excite. Engage. Inspire." and he worked to this end for each entrepreneur he worked alongside of. Because many of his clients were in the Travel, Luxury, and Art niches the pandemic had a significant affect on his bottom line. It didn't deter Chris though. Instead he realized there was more to learn and integrate into his business. Over time he encountered Terra Virtua. This late stage startup needed an Art Director. Christopher Bicourt was exactly the person they were looking for. His experience with the industry, and adaptability made his transition to a blockchain, Non-Fungible Token based company exactly what he wanted. Today he continues to run his copywriting company alongside his position, but he adds his acquired knowledge to the process. He sees Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality as new opportunities that can't be ignored. In the position of Head of Art Chris is creating strategies for scaling the NFT art experiences at Terra Virtua. He is also discovering new ways to integrate these in the VR and AR platforms becoming more available everyday. Chris Bicourt sees the future within his grasp and continues to work hard to bring that future to everyone.
