Eric von Starck for Hotel Sales and Marketing - Food and Beverage at Shackamaxon Marketing for All SeasonsEric von Starck

Eric von Starck offers intimate knowledge of hospitality needs and visions in two seemingly juxtaposed areas: website development and programming and graphic design... as well as food and beverage production, training and menu and restaurant design.

He mixes these areas of expertise so as to benefit our clients through creative design, communication, and passion for detailed organization. All that he does for our clients is informed by marketing vision and the skill to know what’s actually happening on property and with the competition.

He performs these dual roles on his foundation of creativity and nitty-gritty business detail. Coming to us with eighteen years of theater and dance design and production throughout many cultures and countries, added to which is a degree in architectural history, and seventeen years running a gourmet catering and event business with several profit centers and 86 venues - all combined with management of a five star restaurant. He knows all that it takes to make spaces work visually, functionally, and how to put together winning banquets and pertinent menus that will solve the marketing issues of a banquet department and restaurant outlets, as well as the production issues of the kitchen.
