About Me

As a marketing professional I provide freelance marketing communications strategy and design for independent business consultants to large corporations looking to gain a visually creative edge against their competitors. I also assist those seeking basic know-how/advice within the social media realm.

I find extreme passion in today's marketing and Web 2.0 world and learn something new every single day. It's changing before our eyes and it's quite astounding, and simply amazing! This phenom is simply a revolution and it's changed the way we communicate forever.

Outside of my work I continue to develop and maintain my personal brand through participation in the social media space. I am also in the works of establishing a well rounded blog (EricUngs.com) discussing the issues/ideas related to marketing communications, personal branding, and social media. I enjoy gaining industry knowledge through blog subscriptions and reading related books.
