“Chris Smith, cofounder of Vote Influencers, played a central and transformative role in helping March On deliver the largest cultural activation in history commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. His ability to bring high-impact artists like Ludacris and celebrity DJ A-One—along with a dynamic lineup of additional talent—elevated the celebration from a traditional commemoration to a cultural and civic movement that resonated across generations. Even more impressively, he was instrumental in our rapid-response social mobilization efforts when we faced a last-minute venue change. He successfully helped redirect and galvanize thousands of attendees to historic Auburn Avenue in Georgia—home to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy—ensuring the event’s energy and impact were not only preserved but magnified. His collaboration extended far beyond performance. He helped seamlessly integrate cultural leadership with historical legacy, creating a platform that honored the past while activating new voices for the future. The involvement of civil rights icons Martin Luther King III and Dr. Bernice King was made even more impactful by the cultural framing he helped design—one where artists and activists stood shoulder-to-shoulder to inspire action. Chris and his team operate at the intersection of culture, community, and civic engagement with unmatched vision and integrity. They understand how to navigate talent relationships, manage large-scale logistics, and ensure that the message—voting, equity, and empowerment—always stays front and center. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris to MoveOn and any organization seeking to bring culture to the frontlines of democracy."
