Erick Betancourt Director & Executive Producer 
It's been an interesting haul over the past fourteen years or so. In a story ranging over a decade, I have gained extensive interactive experience and savvy, with a primary focus on Web development. During my fourteen years of online experience, my projects have won more than twenty advertising and industry-related awards. I have an impressive long list of clients and campaigns that have utilized my talents: adidas, Apple, Ask.com, Autodesk, Blue Marlin, Business Objects, Callaway Golf, Clorox, Discover Brokerage, Got Milk, Hewlett Packard, Hitachi Data Systems, Jamba Juice, McDonalds, NASCAR, National Film Preservation, Nike, Oakland A's, Until recently, I've been working at Eleven Inc. as Executive Producer running their digital production. Prior to Eleven, I pursued consulting full-time and have worked with many agencies, including Wolfe/Doyle Advertising, Euro RSCG Worldwide and EVB Inc. on various projects. Previous to joining the world of consulting, I worked at Publicis Dialog as their Supervisor of Project Management. I managed a team of Project Managers, Quality Assurance and overlooked Interactive Development throughout the Agency. It was a welcome change after spending several years working at ChevronTexaco as Executive Producer. There I worked on dozens of site redesigns within the ChevronTexaco Intranet including various interesting application development projects. Before I arrived at ChevronTexaco I was working with McQuerter Group, a PR & Marketing agency based out of San Diego. I was hired as Director & Executive Producer in charge of building a new office in the Bay Area for McQuerter. This entailed the rebranding of the company, leaning towards a new push of "Fusion Marketing". My responsibilities ranged from setting up development processes, development of an Intranet and Extranet system, manage all client projects, new business, and all internal development projects which included project management, coding, art direction, art production, QA, server admin, and other various development duties. Previous to joining McQuerter, I was the Interactive Director at Doremus. There I was responsible for all interactive development for Hitachi Data Systems and Commerce One, as well as managing all processes for development including management of internal resources and tools. Prior to that, I was Director of Production for Tribal DDB, responsible for oversight of all SF agency production and producers for the SF and Vancouver Tribal DDB offices. I was responsible for developing an international development process to be used between offices in the US and Canada. A key body of my work was done at SF Interactive, one of the Bay Area's premiere interactive agencies. In 1998, SFI was a small, boutique shop with roughly twenty employees. I helped expand SFI's production and quality level and was instrumental in delivering the award-winning creative and Web sites that SFI is known for today. At SFI, I coordinated the placement and ramp-up of a development office in Vietnam to create a cost-effective round-the-clock resource. I produced and managed the project management team, coders, designers, account managers and support staff on Web development projects for many of the household names listed above. I began my career as the Online Services Manager at Expert Software in Miami, Florida. I developed several online projects including BackWeb executions and the McDonaldland Online site. I was also involved in many CD-ROM production projects including several for SEGA and McDonalds. Before my online career, I raced bicycles at a national and international level, representing Volkswagen, American Airlines, Iron Horse Bicycles, and other corporate sponsors in competitions throughout North and South America. |
