COMPANIES. crowds. classrooms. conferences.
Tackling video content can be a bit overwhelming. Equipment, scripts, actors, to hire a crew, or not? Gah! Hopefully I didn’t just give you a panic attack, thinking about it.
I love to help businesses that are not quite as savvy as they would like to be, catch up on trends, storytelling techniques, and kick some butt in the digital communication space. Working in video has changed my life for the better and seeing others realize the power it has, is pretty freakin’ cool. It’s a great way to articulate information and inspire.
Let’s be honest, sometimes at work you want to throw together a quick video – and don’t have time for a big crew. Some basic knowledge will help you hit the ground running…and, when the time comes to work with a professional, you’re already well versed in lingo, strategy, and the nuts and bolts, so you aren’t taken advantage of. Even if you have no prior knowledge in the space, it’s all good…I’ll make it easy, and fun (as long as you like Nickelback jokes).
From easily digestible workshops, to week-long supervision, training, and strategy consultation. If you’re looking to own your brand voice, video quality, creative, and on camera performance efficiently, I’d love to hang out. After all, the quicker you are on your feet, the more time you free up to spend with friends, family, and on other projects you love.
Below you'll find more information about sessions I offer, and where I've conducted workshops/been a featured speaker. Looking forward to hearing from you and puking rainbows together!

Ignite Minneapolis Speech: 5 minutes to hot hair.
“Erica gets it. She not only knows how to work the room, but she captivates audiences and leaves them tangible takeaways.
We regularly bring our students to Minneapolis for media related conferences and they always ask if Erica will be presenting. ”
Current Speech/Workshop Topics:
- mobile video: getting the most out of your cell phone, for business or organizational content
- social engagement: 3 organic case studies, and how they were successful
- vlogging (video blogging): on camera and content tips from a "preditor" (producer/writer/editor)
- content: what makes content "good"? how do you get started with creating original content?
- online fundraising: (case study) how I raised $30,000 for charity: water through my personal social media accounts
- hot hair in 5 minutes: a lesson in accepting yourself, no matter what the media or other people say
- personal brand: what does that even mean...and, do you need one?
- body love: whether it's adults, or teenagers...i really enjoy giving workshops about body confidence at any size. I am a former sponsored weight loss blogger, and pull from personal experiences of empowerment.
I'd never expect someone to hire me without getting a feel for my style, first. So here is a quick video blog about collaboration/competition that I whipped together after speaking at MINBOUND 2015. Oh, and chances are my hair will be a different color the next time you see me. Ha!
