Eric Weisberg

Global Chief Creative Officer at Havas Health & You
New York, Stati Uniti

Riassunto

Trying to classify Eric is pretty tough. He’s built a reputation as a transformational creative leader in both the general market and health and wellness space. Eric believes in advertising ideas at the intersection of art and science and connecting brands with culture using a blend of content, technology, and media. He was named to the “Digital Top 40 over 40” by Campaign and one of the “Most Creative People in Mobile Advertising” by Business Insider.

Eric has guided his teams to win over 100 international creative awards from Cannes, The One Show, Clios, The Webby’s, Effies, and many others. Eric’s work can be found in the Smithsonian permanent collection, college textbooks, and celebrated by global news organizations including CNN, NBC, BCC, The New York Times, Fast Company, and more.

The impact of Eric’s work in health includes reducing the stigma of mental illness by using social media; diagnosing diabetic nerve pain within Black communities with the help of Spike Lee; a patent-pending algorithm for predicting the flu, and developing the most-downloaded Marvel Comic of 2020, honoring the heroism of nurses fighting COVID-19.
