Eric rejoined former Cliff Freeman colleague, Doug Cameron, in the fall of 2010 to become the Chief Creative Officer of Amalgamated.

Eric has been obsessed with building a truly media agnostic agency that consistently delivers effective, entertaining content. From a CarMax TV campaign that, according to The New York Times, generated the 6th most buzz online for the entire year… to the agency’s many digital projects, which have been featured in Mashable, Digital Buzz Blog, Time, PSFK, Forbes, Fast Company, The New York Times, as well as being named one of Ad Age’s Top 10 Social Media campaigns of the year.

Eric started out working as a writer on high profile accounts like MTV and Reebok at Chiat Day, and NIKE and ESPN at Wieden and Kennedy. From there he took a job as a staff writer on the Late Show with David Letterman. After submitting a Top 10 list of reasons Conan’s show was funnier, Eric decided to accept a position as Creative Director at Cliff Freeman and Partners. During his time there, the agency was named “Agency of the Year” twice by Creativity magazine and, according to the Gunn Report, was the most awarded agency in the world over a five-year period.

Eric then spent six years as Executive Creative Director at BBDO, working on BBC, FedEx and Monster. Work for all three clients was selected to Adweek’s Best of the Decade list. More importantly, FedEx enjoyed 23 consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth and Monster searches were up 45%.

In addition to being inducted into the AAF Hall of Achievement, he has won every major creative award several times over, including the Grand Prix at Cannes.

Eric enjoys movies, music, and hanging out with his wife, two daughters and two cats. Eric has surprisingly few athletic skills.
