Eric & Creatis
You might not hear it from him, but Eric Kiebel has a lot of expertise in design and production. His nearly 20-year career features a resume full of Fortune 500 brands, clients and industry experience He's done a little bit of everything in design including print and web, packaging, presentation, web animations, logo & identity and HTML designs.
It's his special combination of design skills and an adaptable, collaborative personality that made Eric a perfect fit for Creatis. Eric found us through social media and saw that we were hiring for a graphic designer role that we needed to fill quickly. We responded ASAP and sat down to talk with him – as we do with all our candidates. We invest time to get to know potential employees to ensure they’re the right skill and culture fit for our clients. And as soon as we met Eric, we knew he'd be right for the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, where he assisted with the creation of their annual publication, "Parade of Homes and Remodelers Showcase." He jumped in right away and helped make the time-sensitive publication a success.
Because of our focus on retaining employees, we found Eric another opportunity almost immediately after his work with the Builders Association had ended. That role? Supporting Deluxe on-site as a design and digital specialist. Eric works directly with the Deluxe creative and marketing team to create and edit emails, print collateral and much more. He’s been at Deluxe for over 2 years – which is a prime example of the kind of lasting impact Creatis employees can have for our clients.
Eric is highly praised by his manager at Deluxe for the way he owns his part in supporting their team, doing whatever it takes to help get work done. This year, our team nominated and selected Eric as one of our Core Value Award Winners. Eric won the "Teamwork" award for his team-first, diligent work ethic. Read more here.
