Mark Ervin is a Adjunct Instructor at The University of Alabama. He possess expertise in advertising, creative direction, marketing, social media, copywriting and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Magnetic is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Mark. He seems to be the person everyone gravitates to in a crowd, whether it’s private life, social activities or work. There’s something about him that people just like. He’s intelligent and witty, respectful and relaxed. He’s well versed in everything from politics and philosophy to movies, music and food and conversational about it all. His charisma does not preclude his selfless focus on others. There is integrity in his blood. During my time working with Mark at JWT I had many opportunities to see all of these character traits in addition to his extreme creativity through strategic concept development, writing and production of TV, radio and print advertising for the Ford account. His insight into the true needs of the client was brought to life in some of the most creative and effective advertising they had experienced. And, the leadership skills he demonstrated at JWT brought him to the coveted position of Creative Director at another agency before his 28th birthday. I was sad to see him go, but thankful to have the privilege of working with Mark in one of the busiest, most pressure-filled atmospheres in the advertising world. If I had the opportunity I would work with him again in a heartbeat." and "Nothing is more satisfying for an Art Director than working with a writer who is strategically strong and a witty linguist. Mark was all this and more when we worked together at JWT, and we created some great advertising as a result. He handled clients with ease and worked hard to make each job better than the last. He has a strong and unique creative vision with an incredible talent for discovering, creating and guiding great advertising. The extra bonus is that Mark knows every word from every movie ever made, and could successfully perform the entire dance sequence from Napoleon Dynamite. Now that's inspiration."

Listed skills include Advertising, Creative Direction, Marketing, Social Media, and 46 others.
