Meet Chris

Hello! My name is Chris Amys, and I am the founder of Springboard Advertising. For over 20 years, I have been passionate about helping businesses of all sizes reach their marketing goals. My journey began in 2004 when I established Springboard Advertising to provide personalized and effective advertising solutions to local clients in Des Moines.

My commitment to understanding each client's unique needs, combined with my attention to detail, organizational skills, and strong communication abilities, has been instrumental in helping my clients achieve remarkable success.

When I'm not immersed in the world of advertising, I cherish spending quality time with my husband and two children, engaging with friends and neighbors, and pursuing my passions for golfing, reading, cycling, and cheering on the Huskers. I am proud to call Des Moines my home since 2000 and actively contribute to our vibrant community.
