About Eric Ward

This is not an interruption. It is a disruption. Our audience’s relationship with digital communications is changing dramatically, right in front of our eyes. The live event industry will never be the same. There will be a new normal. It's no longer about audiences. It's about communities, woven together by both digital and live experiences, with the brand right in the center. That part is not new. Brands have aspired to create communities for years. What's new is the unprecedented and rapid acceleration of peoples abilities and comfort with digital communications. For the last three decades I have worked with the world's leading brands to deepen their relationships with the communities they serve. This is the most disruptive moment I have witnessed in the industry, and in chaos there is opportunity. Let's talk.

    Creative Director/Strategist
    Creative Director/Strategist 2017 - Present
    Willets, California
    My expertise is the creative development of effective strategies that drive real change in the hearts, minds and behaviors of narrowcast audiences. I'm equally at ease developing large or small live events, targeted multi-channel communication campaigns and digital engagement tactics. Taking a leadership role with other creatives is also a speciality, as well as partnering enthusiastically with all members of the sales and production team. I believe the best work can only be achieved in an atmosphere of mutual respect and I pride myself in helping to drive a fun, focused and effective process with my team mates.
