Behind the Scenes with a Mega Influencer (ft. Eric Rutherford | Executive Producer, 15|40 Productions)

OPENING QUOTE:

“Time is bleeding, and every minute should count. So how I approach an event is someone has

made a choice to come and spend time with you. So make sure we, as event producers or

people in this industry, are always thinking of that.” - Eric Rutherford

SUMMARY:

Executive Producer at 15|40 Productions, an experience, and integrated activations agency for

global brands, Eric Rutherford, is also a social media mega influencer who uses his platform to

showcase the hard work and creativity of events produced out of the 15|40 New York City office.

He’s an absolute expert at capturing moments leading up to the greatest events... red carpet or

otherwise... giving guests, fans, and friends... an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look on social

media at what it really takes to pull off the most memorable experiences. Sometimes it's glam.

Sometimes it's not ... like the time he had to scoop doggy poo up from the red carpet.

Whatever it is, Eric talks about how pulling back the curtain on those moments foster

inclusivity... which naturally foster more love for the brand. He talks about his role as an event

producer to go beyond just doing a job to always be mindful of the guest or fan. He talks

about finding every imaginable way to immerse them in the experience.

He’s a great storyteller too and unabashedly tells tales about celebrity arrivals, the advantages

of having salt and pepper hair and of being an older man in a young man’s game and killing it!
