Chris Montgomery

Hi, I’m Chris Montgomery—founder and CEO of Social Ordeals, a full-service digital agency headquartered in Glendora, California. Since starting the company in 2012, I’ve grown it from a solo operation into a team of over 30 professionals, generating roughly $8 million annually and serving thousands of small and medium businesses across North America, the UK, and Canada

My leadership is grounded in delivering measurable outcomes for clients—through reputation management, listings, SEO, PPC, review generation, and more—all via a custom white-labeled platform . I’m passionate about building scalable partner ecosystems and believe in a boots-on-the-ground approach. As I often say, “clicks don’t pay the bills—customers do”

I guide Social Ordeals by uniting product vision, operational rigor, and client dedication into a purpose-driven culture. Every new marketing feature, partner relationship, and agency hire is shaped by transparency and a relentless focus on customer success.

Outside of agency life, I’m a devoted dad, a lifelong sports fan, and an active mentor. I enjoy sharing insights about scaling agencies—whether that’s knowing when to let go of underperforming clients, building tight onboarding protocols, or coaching new talent

If you're interested in robust digital marketing innovation, partner-driven business growth, or building agencies that thrive long term, let’s connect—I’d love to chat.
