Cory Berger Goes To Mother

Family connections helped Cory Berger land his former job as an account manager at Havas’ Euro RSCG in New York. But the 24-year-old adman, whose father is Euro CEO and chief creative officer Ron Berger, began reaping the benefits of his parentage at a far earlier time.

“My background in advertising was very natural,” said the Wayne, N.J., native, who recently joined Mother in New York as strategist. “Starting from the age of eight or nine, I was learning about it and hearing things he had to say that can’t be taught in a textbook or an advertising class.”

Berger brings the staff count to 15 at independent Mother in New York, which opened in December.
