ERIC O'BRIEN

Eric began with our firm in 1999 and has been on a steady career climb ever since. A member of our Management Team, he currently leads the Delta Air Lines account, helping the airline and its marketing department effectively communicate with employees, the media and more than 80 million SkyMiles members.

As a native Atlantan with a well-stamped passport, Eric is also proud to serve on the board of the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Over the years he has produced a wide portfolio of work, covering strategic planning, crisis counseling and event management. His counsel and media relations skills have landed clients in hundreds of publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times. And, he knows first-hand how to manage reporters en masse as he planned and executed an international media center for the Canoe/Kayak World Championships.

A cum laude graduate of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., Eric holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and Sociology. As a volunteer alumni interviewer, he assists the Georgetown Admissions program in selecting incoming students. When he was a student there he was a five-time All American in cross-country, indoor and outdoor track, and was named to the prestigious GTE Academic All-American team. In fact, he competed in the 1996 U.S. Olympic trials. Eric claims to be one of the few people to have ever run the equivalent of a sub four-minute mile, made a hole-in-one and bowled a score over 200. We'll leave the verification up to Guinness, but we do appreciate his competitive, hard-working spirit.

Eric and his wife, Emily, are the proud parents of Ellis, their young son whose name honors their time living in Brooklyn, NY within view of Ellis Island. They are happy to be back home in Atlanta where Eric’s large family is eagerly calling dibs on babysitting duty (or so he hopes).
