About Chris M. Rougier<\/strong>
\nFor over twenty years I\u2019ve been working with all levels of government across Canada and internationally to launch campaigns, mobilize communities, collect voter contact details and manage data. An expert in crafting cause-driven stories and developing community-lead marketing strategies, let\u2019s work together to achieve results with only the tools you need to blaze your trail. Prior to joining MPH Agency, I worked with and campaigned at all levels of government, both in Canada and internationally. I worked for the Conservative Party of Canada from 2005 to 2012 and the Ontario PC Party from 2012 to 2014. During that time, I was involved in over 60 municipal and provincial election campaigns across Canada. Most notably I sat as Target Seat Team Director for Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the 2011 Federal Election. I have also worked on elections in Australia and the UK, and worked on the 2012 Florida Primary and played a key role on the Presidential National Support Team. In 2017, I was National Campaign Manager for the highly-publicized and groundbreaking Kevin O\u2019Leary Leadership Campaign and in 2022 I was National Campaign Manager for Jean Charest\u2019s leadership bid for the Conservative Party of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
