I'm Chris Evans. I have 25 years' experience in communications around the world.

​

I started my career in my home country of the UK, before gradually moving further east. My first stop was Saudi Arabia, where I ran an office for a multi-national PR agency. I then progressed to Indonesia, before heading back to the Middle East and stops in Qatar and Bahrain.

​

I currently work with both companies and individuals around the world helping them communicate and grow their brand.

​

As well as spending a career in communications, I've also worked as a freelance journalist. I've written on topics ranging from Watford Football Club, to animal welfare, to articles about the little village by the sea I currently live in. 

​

I founded the MaxSam Group to bring together my three main businesses:

1. MaxSam Communications 

2. The "Stray Army" brand 

3. My author persona of Maximilian Sam

​

I am an award-winning author of two children's books (It's A Stray Dog's Life and It's A Stray Dog's Life 2) and a compilation of adult fiction short stories (Stories From A Stray). 

​

The idea for the children's books and the Stray Army brand came from the number of stray dogs and cats I currently look after. It's not unusual for me to be found walking ten dogs on the beach and feeding four or five cats in an evening.

​

The Stray Army brand shows what can be achieved from a standing start, whether you're a sole practitioner or a multi-national organisation. I'm now able to sell everything from t-shirts to lunchboxes, alongside my books.

​
