Eron LuttermanStrategic Experiences

I design and host experiences in the real world and build the business models to support them. Here are a few that I’m proud of.

COLLINS House

As Managing Director, I built the Audience & Partnerships discipline from scratch alongside my co-founder, Alex Athanasiou. The discipline quickly spun out as its own business unit, and we owned the P&L from sponsorship strategy to execution and hosting. We were lucky to help continue COLLINS’ 8-year streak as Agency of the Year.

Woods Hole Film Festival

For three decades, the Woods Hole Film Festival has been a Cape Cod cornerstone, spotlighting global independent films and nurturing a dynamic community of filmmakers and cinephiles. Despite its growth, the festival's branding lacked coherence, failing to mirror its community's richness and cinematic excellence.

I was part of the COLLINS team the festival brought in to prepare it for its next thirty years.

We found symmetry in its history – its eight-day duration mirrored an octopus's eight legs, the festival's iconic mascot. From this, a new kaleidoscopic octopus emerged, a hypnotic visual signature. Animated tentacles invite viewers into a world with colors reminiscent of bioluminescence against a dark cinema screen.

Custom typography, inspired by ocean fluidity, pays homage to Woods Hole's marine life. The design harmonizes geometric precision with curvilinear elegance, evoking early cinema styles like Art Nouveau, capturing the cinematic artistry and the spirit of Woods Hole itself.
