Eric is an extraordinarily talented and creative media executive. He is skilled at both new media and old plus everything in between. His keen insights and inventiveness give each project a unique take but one built on experience. Eric is first and foremost a marketer of a wide range of media content. He would be a valuable addition to any staff as well as any project. I can not recommend him too highly.
