Erin’s Role at POP

Erin leads a division that includes more than twenty strategists, designers and developers who are exclusively focused on providing consulting, marketing and technology services to some of the world’s most visible and vibrant arts organizations. She is the bridge between arts administrators and agency perspectives.

Erin’s History in Arts Marketing

In her role as Director of Marketing and Communications at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Erin developed a sophisticated and successful digital marketing strategy focused on providing a superior patron experience through targeted e-communications, access to artists, and a dynamic purchase path.

“With a background in the arts, marketing, and technology, my mission is to provide guidance and help arts organizations make the most of their limited resources.”

Why the Arts are Important to Erin
