Eric Berrios served as the strategic planner at Realm for 15 years, and head of client services, focused on the overall client experience. In that time, he drove agency growth by deepening the client offering as well as creating success pathways for clients that increased the agency's overall value. After joining Realm, Eric took over Strategic Planning for business-to-business clients like Novelis, SunTrust, the Georgia Ports Authority and others. Over the past decade, he had been deeply immersed in business-to-business marketing working in channels like logistics, finance, manufacturing and professional services. Before moving to Atlanta, Eric had spent the first 10 years of his career with Erin/Edwards, New York. Under his leadership, the agency brought clients like 1-800-Flowers, Merck & Co., Olsten Health Services and others to the web for the first time. At the end of that time, he was serving as Vice President of Interactive. The next six years in New York were spent converting Long Island’s largest ad firm, Harrison Leifer DiMarco, into an integrated agency. Once again serving as Vice President of Interactive, Eric also carried a second role as Vice President of Operations. Over time, he developed a new suite of services and delivery methods for clients like Fougera, Novartis and Eon Labs, among others. Today, Eric is a hired gun consultant to clients and agencies alike, helping them refine or develop their marketing strategies. His role is narrow and impactful. He is able to bring a unique set of skills, on an as-needed basis, that most agencies need only occasionally, decreasing their overhead and increasing their bench strength. Eric currently serves on the board of that Atlanta chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators, as VP of Professional Recognition. In his spare time, he is an avid gardener and occasional beer brewer.
