Eric Cosper is a creative director who believes the best ideas are simple, human, and a little unexpected.
Over the course of his career, he’s worked at agencies like Fallon, BBDO, Publicis, and Wieden+Kennedy,
helping build campaigns for brands such as GE, Citibank, and T-Mobile.
His work has been recognized with multiple Cannes Lions and other industry awards,
but what matters most to him is making things that people actually care about—ideas that stick,
stories that connect, and work that feels honest.
