With her breadth of branding experience and diverse perspectives, she broadens our thinking and gives us a much-needed push out of our comfort zone. Erin is a breath of fresh air. She doesn’t just talk about thinking differently, she embodies it. And the results are game-changing." Debra Cohen Owner, Cohen Communications
"I hired Erin to freelance with me twice. At the first agency, her work produced 8 consecutive quarters of growth for IHOP making it #1 in its category. At the second, she was a life saver. When I didn't have work I was satisfied with, I called upon Erin who always comes through. If you read her resume closely, you’ll see she is an experienced Circumnavigator. Those skills serve her well in that she knows how to work her way through and around tough problems and clients with creative solutions. Erin gets it. Works quickly. And comes back with multiple ideas. I recommend her highly." Richard Mahan EVP, ECD, McCann Erickson and Dailey

At Just Play, I brought Erin in to spearhead all creative development for our commercials. She has a breadth and depth of experience in all aspects of campaign development through production and final edit, she is open to working collaboratively or independently, takes all types of feedback and responds addressing any and all comments, and can present with composure to all levels confidently. Plus, she’s tons of fun to work with! I highly recommend Erin for any type of marketing and advertising creative development. Erin is a delight!" Sarah Buzby VP Consumer Products, Ubisoft
