2012
As a pioneer of branded content and social engagement, it was a natural evolution to launch Ehm & Co. Erica's digital agency specializes in marketing to Canadian women. Ehm & Co partners with brands and agencies to leverage technology, creativity and authenticity to convert female consumers.

By connecting brands with her audience, she developed strategies to monetize motherhood. Under Erica's leadership, YMC grew into a profitable business fueled by 100's of social creators.
2003
Inspired by a bumpy transition into motherhood, Erica co-produced, wrote and hosted the TV series Yummy Mummy, a lifestyle program for the modern mom. Syndicated internationally, it can still be found on Amazon Prime.
Love, marriage and a baby carriage. Having two amazing kids, Jessie and Josh, launched Erica's next chapter. Her passion shifted away from music to motherhood. Her challenge was to turn it into a business.
1996
While running her record label and promoting her book, Erica hosted a number of TV shows, including Popstars (GlobalTV), Power Play (Discovery), Real Life with Erica Ehm (Life). Her fave? A re-occuring role in ROBOCOP!
1995
Inspiring women and girls is a driving force behind everything Erica creates. Her debut non-fiction book, "She Should Talk: Conversations about Love, Life and Success", published by HarperCollins, launched her speaking career.
She treasured her time on Much, but was craving new challenges. Still passionate about music, Erica put her television career on hold to co-write a catalogue of songs and launch a record label. Erica earned Junos and several songwriting awards.
1985
Erica was one of the first MuchMusic VJs. She spent a decade hosting live music TV, influencing a generation of young Canadians. The art of interviewing bands became second nature. Reining in rock stars isn't for the faint of heart.

Joan Jett was living proof that women can make it in a man’s world. Here are the highlights of my interview with Joan Jett. For the record, she was everything that I hoped she’d be.
I work and live in the mom space. I see parents stressing out with the additional pressure to homeschool their kids while in lockdown.

As someone who never really followed the rules, here's my (partially irresponsible) advice to parents on why they should stop the worksheets and try this experiential approach to schooling your kids during the pandemic.
I was sent to Seattle to interview Kurt Cobain for MuchMusic in April 1983. I had no idea my interview with Kurt Cobain would go viral twenty years later. Here’s the behind the scenes story of what really happened.
I was warned that parenting teens would be hard. I wasn’t prepared for the emotional rollercoaster of raising kids in this crazy world. So I started a private group to help parents.
