Erich Hartmann
New York, NY
An entrepreneurial, well-rounded, and widely-integrated Creative Director, Writer and dabbler in all things Media and Tech. Erich has worked in Marketing and Advertising all his life (seriously, he grew up in editing suites, living off M&Ms). He's currently serving as Creative Group Head at Merkley+Partners: a medium-sized 360º shop, in the Lower Village. In his scant spare time he indulges in way, way too many hobbies: including writing and recording music, taking lots of cool pictures, cooking stuff, inventing things, making cologne, traveling, and assaulting his knees via skateboarding. He does this all from his home base in Manhattan, with the loving support of his awesome wife Michelle, and his little 20-month-old crazy boy: Maximillian.
