Eric McPherson - Account Executive

Eric McPherson

Account Executive

Hired: March 2009

By the Book:

Eric graduated from the University of Minnesota in May 2008 with a degree in strategic communications (advertising) and a minor in Spanish studies.

Been There. Done That.

Before signing on the dotted line at Risdall, Eric was employed by OLSON where he worked as an account services intern primarily on the Fifth Third Bank and Nike Bauer accounts.

In His Own Words:

"I bring a passion for advertising to RMG, as well as leadership and the necessary people skills for creating great working relationships."

Proudest Moments:

Eric cites include winning a baseball state championship in high school and being able to have a lot of fun in college while graduating with an honors degree as just two of his proudest moments.

It's Miller Time:

Outside of work, Eric is a huge sports guy. "I love watching baseball, basketball and football, whereas my own sports career has turned mainly to golf, tennis, softball with some basketball and football every now and then". Eric also enjoys belting out songs at karaoke night. "Gansta's Paradise" (yo!) and "Lean on Me" always bring down the house.

Embargo? What Embargo?

Recently declassified information reveals that Eric lived in Cuba for a year when he was a little kid. Microfilm showing iguanas chasing Eric and his apple juice prove it.

What's the Big Deal?

"I was one of five lead presenters elected by my University of Minnesota team of fifty in the 2008 NSAC competition."

Eric also worked on the strategy and planning of an urban trail running event promoting Vasque trail-running shoes for one of OLSON's newest clients, Red Wing outdoor shoes.
