Passion For The Craft

The majority of your day, and over 1/3 of your life, is spent at work. But that time is a lot more enjoyable when you’re surrounded by people you love and respect. A certain type of person is pulled to MindHandle. It’s the collaborators who enjoy the idea of ‘togetherness.” Working together. Creating together. Laughing together. And making a difference together. After all, that’s what binds us–you guessed it–together.

In the end, our great work is a direct result of our great people.

LEADERSHIP

MindHandle was created by senior leaders with experience spanning creative, technology, corporate marketing, employee engagement and training. We share a common belief that a brand is most powerful when its consumer and employee communications are linked by a common, magnetic story.

Eric Harris

Employee Experience Practice Lead (Former CEO)

Strategist by trade, storyteller by aptitude, creative by accident, professor by design. MindHandle CEO Eric Harris’ resume may not read the way you’d expect it to, but the sum of these experiences helps him empathize with his clients, students, and the agency team.

After several years in large advertising agencies, Eric joined his clients on the corporate team at YUM! Brands, where he led Pizza Hut’s integrated communications for 2 years. The experience taught Eric not only what it was like to be on the “buying” side of the agency economy, but also how much room there was to improve on internal communications. That’s why Eric founded GatherRound, a training company focused on storytelling for presentations.

In 2018, GatherRound and MindHandle merged, creating an employment branding agency with the talent and expertise to reach employees with advertising quality messages. As CEO Eric provides the vision that becomes decisions in the agency, and if he’s ever missing, look no further than the nearest whiteboard.

Eric is a self-proclaimed suburban lumberjack, a communications professor via TCU Neeley Executive Education, drummer, Forbes Business Council contributor, and a camp-in-the-backyard father of two.
