Erich & Kallman LLC

Erich & Kallman is a new advertising agency based in San Francisco. We're fast. We're lean. And we make brands famous. Why Famous? The work we’ve done our entire careers has solved problems and grown business, but more than that it’s made people talk about brands when they weren’t talking about them before. The most economical and effective way to solve problems and grow business is to make work that people remember, talk about and share. That’s “famous.” Why Fast? Now more than ever, fast is necessary. Whether landing a great insight, answering a consumer need or responding to a competitive attack, we know that waiting too long for creative development means lost opportunities and lost business for you. Why Lean? The only things we hate as much as wasting time is wasting effort and wasting money. That means putting resources towards creation instead of management. It means hiring less, but higher quality talent. And it means focusing on what we do well and collaborating with the best in the business on everything else. We were founded by Steve Erich and Eric Kallman. Steve was previously President / Partner of Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP+B), an agency with seven global offices acknowledged as one of the most creative in the world. During his time, CP+B was named “Agency of the Decade” by Advertising Age, “Agency of the Year” 13 times, and received more Cannes Grand Prix awards than any other agency in the world. Eric was previously ECD of Goodby Silverstien & Partners where he was named one of the top 10 Chief Creatives in the country by ADWEEK. Over the past decade Eric has been one of the most effective and awarded creatives in the business. He helped create campaigns such as Old Spice’s “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” as well as celebrated work for Skittles, Coca-Cola, KAYAK, Ragu, Little Caesars, CareerBuilder and others. Prior to GS&P he was the founding ECD of Barton F. Graf and was at Wieden+Kennedy, Portland where his work for Old Spice won the Grand Effie.
