Kansas City, Mo. (September 14, 2023) – Bishop-McCann, a worldwide leader in the meetings, incentives, and events industry, announced the promotion of Eric Olson to Director, Creative Strategy. Olson brings more than 20 years of meetings and events experience to the position, including prior work as a content strategist, producer and director for live, virtual and hybrid programs for some of the world’s most iconic brands.  

As Director, Creative Strategy, Olson is responsible for leading the production of content-rich programs that shape audience behavior and produce real-world results. Olson will lead a team of experts to define the vision for each client and bring that vision to life.

“Each day, I’m inspired by our strategic focus of helping our clients identify and cultivate the right messages that will connect desired business outcomes and event attendee experiences,” said Olson. “Events have a unique way of creating light, funny, disruptive or deeply poignant memories that the audience will carry with them long after the event has ended, and I’m honored to lead the team that creates these defining moments for our clients.”

“Eric is a true industry leader, and his innate ability to help our clients uncover the perfect messaging and creative strategy is remarkable,” said Rob Adams, Bishop-McCann President and Co-Owner.  “We are the experts at expressing client messages in compelling ways, and Eric’s appointment shows just how much we continue to invest in areas that help with our client’s focus on linking the message to the fundamental purpose of the event itself in order to create meaningful connections with event attendees.”
