Eric Baldakin Email & Phone Number

I am an Account guy. I love advertising. That isn’t a line. There is just something about that magical moment when I brief a Team and I see that spark in their eye, that almost imperceptible twitch in their neck and the faint trace of a smile that cracks even the most seasoned Creative Director’s façade. That’s what gets my heart racing -- Knowing that all the research, all the decks, the data & the conversations are going to coalesce into something great.I’ve got the experience that fills in a resume: leading a Team; Brand & Retail portfolio work; budget management in the tens of millions. I’ve worked on Automotive, Financial, Government, Entertainment & Sports accounts. Together with great Teams I’ve developed advertising across multiple platforms including: Digital -- Rich Media; Site Development; Online Video; Social and the mass elements of TV, Radio, POP & Print. More importantly, I’ve seen these campaigns succeed on multiple levels, from views to conversions and the big Client ROI.• I have big ideas• I do not have the exclusive on big ideas for the Team & I like it that way • I believe when each member of a Team has the opportunity to put a bit of themselves into a big idea, the enthusiasm is contagious• I relish the Creative process• I do numbers too• If I don’t have an objective & deliverable, I won’t ask you to attend a meeting – it’s that simple• I’m the calm one on the Team – there is ALWAYS a solutionAUTOMOTIVE • BMW Brand• BMW Motorcycles• Cadillac Dealer Group• Certified Pre-Owned - GM• Certified Service Brand - Formerly Goodwrench• Certified Service Ontario Dealer Group• Chevrolet Brand• Chevrolet Dealer Group• Ford Retail C & I• Honda Ontario Dealer Group• Honda Motorcycles/ATV Dealer Retail• Hyundai Retail• Land Rover Brand• Pontiac Buick/GMC Dealer GroupFINANCIALAlgorithmics - Risk ManagementGOVERNMENT• Dept of Canadian Heritage ENTERTAIMENT• Canadian Opera CompanySPORTS• Toronto Argonauts Football Club
