Christine Fruechte, President & Chief Executive Officer

Industry leader, nationally recognized visionary and daughter of a psychic entertainer (seriously), Christine knows that the best way to predict the future is to create it. 

Since joining C+M in 2004, she has spearheaded the agency’s tremendous growth and transformation by adding great diversity to our client roster and helping C+M evolve into a fully integrated, digitally driven agency. And while agency billings have increased year over year for the last five years, what is more important is that the agency’s clients are achieving record-setting results.

Prior to C+M, Christine worked for Campbell Mithun, DDB Honolulu and Preston Kelly in Minneapolis. She developed integrated campaigns for clients that include Aveda, Caribou Coffee, Coca-Cola, Domino’s, General Mills, ESPN, Johnson & Johnson, Johnsonville, Land O’Lakes, McDonald’s, Nestlé Purina, Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation, Revlon, Starwood Hotels, Taco John’s and Yahoo!, among others.


Christine has earned numerous awards: Effies, Webbys and even an Emmy Award. In 2010, she was recognized in the Ad Age annual “Women to Watch” report, which honors the most innovative women in the world of advertising, marketing and media. In addition, Twin Cities Business named Christine among the 200 Minnesotans you should know. Christine's recent publications include an agency transformation article in Ad Age and an op-ed piece in the Minneapolis Star Tribune about how biking can help a company's bottom line. 

Basically, what we’re saying is you don’t have to be a psychic to know that when Christine is around, the future looks bright.
