OUR TEAM
CHRISTIAN BATRES
As founder, president and creative director, Christian is the creative force behind Zein Communications.
After studying advertising at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Christian joined public relations consultancy Makovsky + Company, where he honed his creative style and developed his business intuition shaping clients’ brands and helping to build the firm’s Branding + Visual Communications practice.
After seven years as creative director at Makovsky, Christian got the entrepreneurial itch and ventured out on his own to start Zein Communications. Armed with a distinctive combination of business insight and design expertise, he set to work building the company from the ground up. His extreme attention to detail (some might say obsessive) and ability to see the big picture have earned him – and the company he built – a solid reputation as a designer and brand builder.
Born in Guatemala, Christian moved to New York City as a young boy and grew up in the Brooklyn neighborhood of East New York. He speaks both English and Spanish and often returns to the country of his birth for both business and pleasure.
When he’s not working, chances are Christian can be found at home in New Jersey with his wife Ingrid, their son Sebastian, daughter Zoe and dog Frenchie.
