Erick H. Email & Phone Number

Erick H. is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe him as "Erick was a colleague of mine at the Freer|Sackler of the Smithsonian. It was a pleasure working with him on all kinds of projects. He was unfailingly helpful, creative, and an excellent problem solver. Although I was a senior consulting in marketing for clients across the US and Canada before my time at the Smithsonian, I was constantly learning new things from Erick. His expertise runs the gamut from strategic communications of all sorts (branding to crisis communications) to marketing and sales. He is a big-picture thinker with the ability to translate plan design into detailed implementation. Erick knows how to build relationships based on trust, which grow into lasting partnerships and leverage every resource from financial and human. The culmination of our work together was the Freer|Sackler Grand Reopening and the IlluminAsia Festival of Asian Art, Food, and Cultures in fall 2017. His planning and advance work resulted in a crowd of 50,000+ participants, breaking all previous attendance records, a full 10% of Freer|Sackler's annual audience attendance in one weekend. He accomplished this on a shoestring budget, with dogged determination, patience and panache. Erick thrives on challenges and in a collaborative, team-oriented culture. He will be a tremendous asset for any organization lucky enough to land him." and "What I always enjoyed about working with Erick was his attention to detail and his tact under pressure. He understands the communications needs of his audience as well as his client or decision-makers. Erick builds relationships that form the basis of lasting partnerships with colleagues and with journalists. One of my favorite collaborations was when the Oregon Supreme Court met on campus and a high-profile case attracted media attention. We worked together to plan and manage media and public attendance and created contingency plans to anticipate needs beyond the event support. "
