OUR TEAM
Erin O’Hearn
President and Producer
Erin started her career in the city that never sleeps. After a summer internship that proved to her why creative types are willing to take on starving artists' role if it means living in New York City, she went to work as a Production Assistant for the News and Documentary Department at MTV. After two years of eating ramen noodles and living in bedrooms without windows, Erin earned a promotion to Series Associate Producer for the "True Life" Series. In 2002, her inner Diane Sawyer called, and Erin transitioned to TV News as an anchor and reporter. Like most people, Erin hates traffic but was hired as a traffic reporter at the Time Warner Station in Albany, NY. She did not care for that much either, so she quickly cut her teeth as a general assignment reporter and anchor. From there, she went on to work for the ABC station in Raleigh, North Carolina, and then to her final stop at 6ABC in Philadelphia. Erin covered everything from politics to hurricanes (and often political hurricanes). Her travels brought her to Los Angeles and Egypt and many places in between. Erin was the only on-air journalist to report live from the St. Charles Seminary in Philadelphia, where Pope Francis delivered a Catholic Mass broadcasted around the nation. Erin also served as SVP of Development for OAKZ Media, overseeing the production of documentaries, digital marketing content, and multiple television series. While her career has undoubtedly been fulfilling, her most important role is mom to three kids. She prides herself on finishing 3rd-grade math problems while prepping dinner, organizing Target receipts, and fumbling through travel sports apps. Erin is on the Board of Directors for MCAP and active with HelpUsAdopt.org and her children's school. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, which still baffles her because she is not very good at science.
Matt Maiorano
Director and Editor
Matt, a graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Matt has more than 25 years of television experience. He cut his teeth at a cable station in South Jersey, where he juggled multiple roles, including producing, shooting, directing, and editing. Years later, he worked in New York City producing episodes for the Fitness Magazine show "Naturally Fit".
Later, he returned home to Philadelphia, solidifying his career in TV News, covering some of the biggest stories over the past decade in addition to two Olympic Games. Matt's work has earned him multiple Emmy Awards.
Jason Marraccini
Photographer and Drone Operator
Jason, a graduate of Lycoming College with a degree in Communications, is a seasoned photojournalist with over 20 years of experience. Jason worked his way through the television ranks before landing at ABC News in Philadelphia, where he spent 17 years. Jason began as a general assignment photographer and moved on to become an award-winning Special Projects Photographer specializing in Health, Consumer, and Investigative News. In 2017, he started the "Drone6" program at the station, making it one of the first journalistic drone programs in the country. Since leaving ABC in 2019, he has been storytelling through creative videos for businesses all over the Delaware and Lehigh Valleys.
Lisa Fee
Director of Business Development
Lisa has more than a decade of experience in client relations roles in the financial services and healthcare sectors. Although Lisa has held client relations positions in a variety of industries, each has shared a common purpose: to ensure that those with whom she partners always receive service that exceeds expectations. She brings that same ethos and an entrepreneurial spirit to her work at SASS-E Creative, working with the creative team to tailor media strategies to meet their needs and ensure that their client experience is seamless. When Lisa is not attending to the needs of SASS-E Creative clients or chauffeuring her two young children, she spends her time remodeling her family’s newly-bought fixer-upper, and—like all moms—shopping on Amazon.
Olivia Gorman
Production Assistant
Olivia graduated from Wesleyan University in 2019. She studied Studio Art with a focus on sculpture and architecture, and Italian Studies. When she wasn't in the studio or the classroom, she was probably in the gym or on the field, as she was a three-sport varsity athlete in college (playing basketball, softball, and soccer). After graduating from Wes, Olivia headed to Brooklyn, New York, to pursue her Masters of Industrial Design at Pratt Institute. While she completes her master's, Olivia has been working with SASS-E Creative as a Production Assistant.
