NORTH CHARLESTON, SC, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Eric Elliott Day, recognized each year on October 14 by the City of North Charleston, South Carolina, reaches its fifth anniversary today, five years after Mayor R. Keith Summey first proclaimed the day in 2021 to honor Eric Elliott, Founder and CEO of VIP Marketing and Craft Creative, as a leader in the civic, business, and philanthropic growth of the Lowcountry.

Five years and running, the day continues to highlight Elliott's service in and around North Charleston and the businesses he has built.

"This year, October 14 feels a little different. I've found myself thinking less about what I've done and more about what I've learned, who I've become, and the kind of impact I want to have on the people around me," said Elliott.

"If I've been given opportunities, I want to create them for someone else. If someone has believed in me, I want to be that person for someone else. And if I've learned something the hard way, I hope I can use it to make someone else's path a little easier."

The 2021 proclamation described Elliott as a leader in the civic, business, and philanthropic growth of the Lowcountry and credited his entrepreneurial success with providing well-paying jobs and capital investment that continues to help drive the region's market forward.

The proclamation also recognized that he puts family, service, and community before his own interests, calling him "a true and genuine asset to the City of North Charleston," and urged all citizens to participate wholeheartedly in the day's observance.

That service-first mindset extends well beyond the city limits. Elliott has completed more than 100 hours of volunteering with MUSC Children's Hospital, where he visits with children, work that is close to Elliott and his family because of their own journey navigating childhood cancer treatment and the uncertainty that comes with it. This September, he also led VIP Marketing's Going Gold Together campaign, which raised more than $20,000, or 125% of its $16,000 goal, to support families facing childhood cancer through Children's Cancer Partners of the Carolinas.

Elliott, a husband, father, leader, entrepreneur, and marketer, founded VIP Marketing, a legal-focused digital marketing agency that has served law firms for more than 16 years, and Craft Creative, a cinematic video and storytelling company. His path from entrepreneurship to storytelling has turned ideas into businesses and challenges into opportunities to grow, and both companies reflect the values behind his community work.

VIP Marketing's stated purpose is to help its client partners grow, its people become better humans, and its communities move forward 1% at a time, and members of its team give back through volunteering, mentorship, and community involvement.
