Eric Husband - Group Creative Director (Colle+McVoy)

Eric started out on the account side of the advertising world. But thankfully, he quickly discovered the creative side of the hallway was where his true talents lie.

Since making the jump, Eric has drawn upon his well-rounded experience to create award-winning campaigns for brands such as BMW/MINI, Aveda, Caribou Coffee, Sun Microsystems, Nestlé Purina and August Schell Brewing Co. Along the way, picking up every color of Effie award available.

His work, crossing all platforms from digital to outdoor, has not only been honored by virtually every award show in the industry, it’s also landed on the homepages of Mashable and FastCompany, appeared on ESPN’s Play of the Day and been enthusiastically discussed on the Jimmy Fallon Show.
