Electronic Retailer - April 2012 - 5
ERA PROTECTS AND GROWS MARKETING’S BEST SELLERS. In 2008, Tim Pearson was tapped by a leading marketer to spearhead its direct response efforts. An expert in sales and marketing and business development, Tim had limited DR experience— and soon realized the need to greatly increase his industry knowledge. He turned to ERA for answers. “ERA offers the ultimate meet-and-greet environment, giving you the opportunity to understand all the industry-wide best practices and to network with different companies of varying sizes and different professionals with a wide range of expertise,” Tim says. “It helps me be more successful, and therefore, allows my company to be more successful.” In addition, as an ERA board member, Tim established relationships with key industry players, enhanced his visibility as a marketing expert, and gained the wisdom necessary to excel in his new role as SVP of Household Marketing at Time Life. retailing.org/superachievers
