One of AC Lion’s very own, Chris Masters, was on the first place team at the 2nd annual CIMA Golf Tournament this past Thursday, July 9th. Chris and teammates Maurice Moore, Todd Foster, and Tyler White, made quite an impression at the Harborside International Golf Center with their bogie-free round.

CIMA, or the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association, describes itself as, “Chicago’s only interactive-centric professional organization dedicated to the enhancement and acceleration of business opportunities, professional development, and exponential networking for the interactive marketing professionals in Chicago.”

Chris and his teammates sealed their first place victory with an overall score of 62 which was ten under on the par 72 course.

Part of Chris’s winning strategy was creating the perfect team. Like any good recruiter, he scouted out the top players in advance and got them on board his team. As our own COO, Bonnie Zaben, so eloquently stated, “Identifying top talent, be it on the golf course or media sales, is what [we] do.”

Appropriately enough, Chris said that one of the day’s highlights was standing on the range as another interactive executive noted how Chris knew more people than he did, and he wasn’t even a Chicago native! Clearly, AC Lion’s networking skills are still among the best in the space.

On behalf of the entire AC Lion team, I just want to congratulate Chris on his exciting accomplishment. It sounds like it was a great day and a superb win. However, Chris himself summed it up best in one word, “tremendous.”

And who knows? Maybe one day AC Lion’s Chris Masters will win The Masters. Green jacket anyone?
