Eric began his career on the creative side, designing corporate ID, advertising and early Web sites at a creative boutique in Oregon. After a move to San Francisco in the late nineties, Eric migrated to the account side to manage integrated TV, print and online advertising campaigns for hi-tech, B2B and dotcom brands, including Getty Images, Photodisc and a number of startups.
Because he combined a traditional marketing pedigree with sizable digital experience, Eric was tapped to help launch the San Francisco office of Tribal DDB and expand the digital presence of DBB San Francisco’s largest client, packaged goods giant The Clorox Company. His work there included crafting early Web site, online advertising and CRM strategy for most of Clorox’s consumer brands (including Clorox Cleaners, Glad, Pine-sol, Brita, Hidden Valley Ranch, Formula 409, STP, Armor All, and Clorox Bleach).
Similar assignments were ahead when he was asked to join Tribal's New York office to lead strategic engagements for Warner Bros. International, Sony Consumer Electronics, Unilever/Bestfoods and AOL. Over the next many years, Eric would come to oversee all aspects of Tribal’s award-winning relationships with ING, Bank of America, and Neutrogena (J&J).
As expanding consumer media choice continued to erode traditional advertising’s power, Eric jumped at an exciting opportunity in late 2006 to help shape the newly re-imagined intersection of Madison Ave and Hollywood. As part of MSN’s Branded Entertainment team he has partnered with a number of Top 100 brands and leading Hollywood production companies to develop innovative, award-winning and lucrative interactive experiences and original video shows for MSN, including working closely with Volvo, Kraft, P&G, Nestle, J&J, and General Motors.
He speaks often about branded entertainment best practices at industry functions and with leading marketers across the country.
