Christopher Breedlove Brown is the founder and owner of The Focus Group Movement, LLC; a multi-disciplinary design firm specializing in graphic design, creative consulting, and software training. The Focus Group Movement's mission is "To create something the world has never seen." One of Christopher's older brothers, Jon, worked for NASA in the early-late 90's, when the Internet and computer graphics were just blossoming. Jon had a computer built, installed Photoshop 5.5 and Illustrator 8, wired it in Christopher's bedroom and gave one command: "Learn this! This is the future." Christopher was 16 years old.
Before departing from his NASA tenure, Jon launched Midnight Online, a website development firm, where Christopher interned, learned and fell in love with visual communications, while working on projects for Florida State University Athletics, Roy Jones, Jr., HBO, The Sickle Cell Foundation, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the Technical Symposium Development Council; to name a few clients.
After graduating from Florida State University High School, Christopher was recruited to further cultivate his talents at the Atlanta College of Art. While working towards a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Advertising Design, he launched The Focus Group Movement and graduated in 2005. He has helped start-ups, non-profits, and Fortune 500 companies communicate visually for the past 20+ years.
A few of the companies he has had the pleasure to work with are the US Army, Southwire Company, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), CNN, FedEx, Boeing, Bank of America, Marriott International, Perry Ellis International, the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Verizon Wireless.
In 2017, Christopher was contracted to develop the core curriculums for Emory University’s Continuing Education Graphic Design certificate program. In 2022, Christopher revamped this curriculum into Visual Communications and Graphic Design and updated all of the Adobe final exams. In 2024 his curriculum was ranked #1 Online Graphic Design Certificate program by Forbes.
The Focus Group Movement launched Creative Seeds to meet the needs of underserved students, students with financial limitations, and students who want a curated learning experience that addresses their immediate goals. Creative Seeds was developed in the spirit of the adage “if you teach someone to fish they will never be hungry.” This learning solution meets students at the intersection of software training and real-time project completion, giving students the rare opportunity to bring their ideas, client curveballs, and wildest dreams to the classroom and have an expert hold their hand while they accomplish their objectives and add transferable tools to their creative arsenal.
