Our Approach

Our Partnerships

Our Approach

At FWRD7, we are creating and implementing “full-experience”, impactful support and events—for those from in-need communities—that provide unique and engaging experiences through positive entertainment and enriching moments designed to capture their attention; fuel inspiration for their passions; and give guidance, opportunities, and empowerment to plan and benefit their future.

Our Partnerships

We work closely with a variety of community partners and engaged sponsors to ensure that we are meeting the growing needs of kids in our community. Our partnerships include charitable businesses, schools, local professional sports teams, municipalities, police departments, and other community organizations.

For Foundations and Non-Profits:

We expand the reach and impact foundations can achieve using experienced knowledge and vast connections without increasing their long-term cost or stretching thin their existing resources

FWRD7 helps strengthen and elevate the events and programs that community-minded businesses support, resulting in donations and sponsorships having a larger and deeper impact

Christopher Watkins

Scott Strong masterfully creates cutting-edge and empowering ways to do business as he has shown in the creation of his first start-up, Accelerate Networks –which he helped led to have over 300 clients– and now is embarking on a new business with his partners in tech.

Christopher Watkins

Christopher Watkins specializes in business development partnerships and leading new businesses to build creative and self-owned marketing campaigns that gives voices to brands and engages a strong audience.

Starting with his first job at 12 years old with the Seattle Supersonics summer basketball camps and parents dedicated to public service, Chris learned the importance of community and finding unique ways to empower and assist disadvantaged youth. He then worked 12 years with the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County as a Program Director and then as I.T. Communications Director. His favorite work was with The Tulalip Tribes and Lummi Nation as the Tribal Fundraising Director for their respective Clubs.

For the past five years, Chris has run Team Watkins Advertising & PR, which was started by his father, David Watkins, over 30 years ago. Current clients include the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce, Pet Supplies Plus, and the MarketPlace @ Factoria.

Born in Seattle, Chris now lives in Bellevue with his son Aslan and their pets, Sosuke & Lion-O.
