It’s been just a few months since Chris Cheeseman, our newest marketing team member, walked through our doors, and yet it feels like he’s always been part of the team. From the very start, he brought with him a calm, easy-going energy that everyone in the office gets to benefit from. There’s a certain peace that follows Chris around, and once you’ve experienced it, you notice just how much it sets the tone for the whole room.

Whether the morning kicks off with Chris and Jared going head-to-head over their tipping picks, a deep dive into everything cycling or a round of trivia questions that somehow makes everyone feel both smarter and more confused at the same time, one thing is guaranteed: Chris will find a way to make the room laugh. He has a natural gift for making people smile without ever trying too hard, and that warmth has become one of those things the team genuinely looks forward to every day.

What stands out just as much is the way he leans into the unknown. Chris doesn’t shy away from unfamiliar territory, he thrives in it. If there’s something he hasn’t encountered before, he’ll find his way to it with curiosity and quiet determination. That instinct to keep learning, to never leave a question just sitting there unanswered, makes him the kind of person you want alongside you when things get complex.

And then there’s the work itself. In just a short time, Chris has brought a fresh design sensibility and a distinctive new voice to our marketing, tackling each challenge with the kind of calm confidence that makes great output look effortless. Most notably, he’s the mastermind behind the reinvigorated Tattersalls Journal, one of the biggest undertakings we’ve had so far, and the result is a testament to both his creativity and his dedication. The quality speaks for itself.

Simply put: Chris is a breath of fresh air. The team is lucky to have him, and here’s to many more quarters of great work, good laughs, and that signature peace he brings to everything he touches.
