The newest addition to Experiential Agency, Chicago native Erica Stimac brings experience with A-list celebrities, restaurants, agencies and producers. As the former Osbrink Agency publicist, Stimac repped top Hollywood child actors (ahem, Dakota Fanning), while her prior gig at Henderson Consulting had her working with Hard Rock Hotel Chicago and Robbie Gould. But whether she’s pitching celebrity tidbits to US Weekly, hobnobbing with former employer Sam Nazarian or indulging at Hub 51, you won’t see this PR specialist break a sweat.

What was I thinking?
What are you reading?
The Second Assistant by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hall—This book reminds me of my life sometimes after college in Los Angeles and makes me laugh out loud constantly.
Never...
let people see you sweat.
Always...
carry yourself with confidence, dignity, and respect however, if you find yourself in a stressful situation always carry facial tissues!
Biggest regret?
I say never look back for regrets because each life experience good or bad teaches you something. The past is gone, learn from it. The present is now and it is "a present" live it to the fullest.
Favorite restaurant…
HUB 51 in Chicago. I am obsessed with their sweet potato rolls!
Going green?
I need to give my daily habits a "makeover". I definitely recycle; I fill my water bottles with filtered water straight from my fridge and when possible try to buy locally grown produce. There's a lot more to do but starting small is just that "a start".
Favorite sinful food?
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream.
My favorite spa treatment is…best at…
Blissage 75 Massage at Bliss Spa.
