A marketing veteran, Eric believes the key to everything we do is understanding the consumer; followed very closely by knowing how branding and promotions work at retail.
He has a fondness for retailers and sales people. Maybe it’s because he started by carrying a bag, working pet food and breakfast cereal at retail for Ralston Purina, or maybe because he started his own marketing services agency. Eric has been selling or marketing something to someone his entire career. But if you ask him, he’s likely to say his real strength is listening.
“If you listen closely enough to the consumer, she’ll tell you everything you need to know about marketing your brand,” explained Eric when asked how he approaches marketing challenges. “And if you listen closely to your client, you will learn how to meet their expectations,” he added.
Notable accomplishments include developing new CPG brands from concept through marketplace launch, a roll-up of small organic foods companies, starting up two marketing services agencies and now focusing on client solutions for PromoPoint Marketing.
