Born in Walthamstow, he was the eldest son of Charles and Emily Higham. His father, a solicitor's clerk, died when he was nine years old. Along with his mother and two brothers he emigrated to the United States shortly after his father's death. Leaving home aged 13, he had a series of varied jobs including chemist's assistant, newspaper reporter and assistant hotel manager. In 1906 he returned to England, eventually establishing his own advertising agency, Charles F. Higham Limited. During the First World War the importance in waging a successful war against Germany and Austria-Hungary of advertising for army recruitment was realised by the government and Higham was appointed a member of the Committee on Recruiting Propaganda. He was later appointed Director of Publicity for the National War Savings Committee. He was knighted in 1921 for his wartime creativity and services."(wiki).
