“Erika brought the Wiredrive concept to me while I was at Goodby, Silverstein and Partners and her expertise, willingness to work within our budget and her creative insight on how the Wiredrive product would make us work more efficiently and bring into the digital world was superlative. We used it as a Beta on the Sprint Telecommunications account and then it was adopted by the entire agency a year later, to rave reviews, both internally and by our clients.
I am sure she would bring the same results in any endeavor she undertakes as her knowledge of her business and her results coupled with the creative ideas on how it would implement sold me on the idea immediately.”

“I have worked with Erika on several occasions while she was at Wiredrive. She gave 110% and always came to the table with a strategic approach and out of the box ideas. She absolutely believes in team work and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.”
Bill Sewell, Co-Founder Wiredrive
“Erika has a deep understanding of growing and nurturing business relationships. She comes up with a concept (i.e. create a social media panel for the ad industry), targets the audience via CRM tools, sends the mail blast, hosts the panel, manages the video shoot and writes the blog entry.
She also solicits sponsors and updates all the social media feeds. Some people retweet twitter feeds and think that they are social media experts. Erika connects all the dots and creates memorable experiences.”
“I have known Erika for many years. She is one of the exceptional people in this business. Everyone knows, likes and respects her, both personally and professionally. When Erika is involved in a project or venture, she works tirelessly on it. She is knowledgeable, professional, personable, goal oriented and creative in business structure, management and promotion...and she has been known to host some great parties!”
Damon Webster with Erika (2010)
“Erika is a solid performer who knows her audience and profession. With her knowledge of the technical aspects of her work, she blends a positive, upbeat, personal element that is engaging, while providing enhanced results.
In all of the years that I have known her, she has proven to be a good ally. With her constantly updated knowledge base, she blends the best of both worlds in business: you are happy to spend time with a person knowing your business is being handled by an A player. The next company to work with her are surely the lucky ones.”

“Over the past decade I’ve witnessed Erika create completely unique, innovative branding opportunities for her company and clients.
I’ve enjoyed the projects she and I have collaborated on, from the Boards Magazine Creative Workshop “kick-off dinners” to creating online content for the Promax/ BDA Awards.
Erika is one of the best marketers I’ve seen in the business. She’s professional, smart, fun, and overall a pleasure to work with.”
“I have known Erika for many years while she was Wiredrive and I was at shots and then also Brunico. She was, and is a fastidious professional, which is meant in the best possible way. Her honesty, efficiency, creative solution providing and especially attention to every detail of complex projects, is exemplary.
She manages both up the line - management wise and down through staff and colleagues very well, and manages teams efficiently ensuring completion of projects on time and to a very high standard.
No area of detail or minutia is left to chance and she maximizes negotiation terms both well and fairly to all parties. She would and will be, a valued asset to anyone lucky enough to work with her.
Clients like her and colleagues respect her for her knowledge and commitment. A thorough and all round professional with a well above average skill set.”

“Erika and I collaborated on many occasions creating industry events, covering events via specialty blog postings and more. She is smart as a whip, a creative & strategic thinker, incredibly organized and cares deeply about any project with which she is involved. In short, an excellent partner or colleague in any endeavor.”
Erika with Adam Trujillo
“Erika’s strongest assets are her ability to foster enthusiastic client relationships, her passion for digital marketing strategies, and her tireless commitment to every project she undertakes.
She is passionate about what she does and is willing to go the extra mile (several miles if need be) to see that an event, website, media package, or any other project is executed to spec.
Erika is resourceful and well-connected in the advertising and media production businesses and is someone who can be called on to help facilitate marketing and logistical needs.”
“Erika is amazing at everything she touches. She knows how to sell and she’s a great person to do business with. I would trust her blind.”
“Smart, persistent, funny and innovative, always questioning the status quo and asking isn’t there a better way to do this? To make that happen? A rising business star and a continually growing human being who sincerely cares about all people.”
