Rick has over 20 years of experience in the interactive, database marketing and IT consulting industries. Rick was fortunate enough to be an early entrant within the Interactive Marketing field and through the years Rick has helped several industry leaders – companies like Liberty Mutual, Del Monte, GlaxoSmithKline, SEI Investments and Zippo – leverage technology and the online channel to improve their business results.
In the early-90's he spearheaded one of the Pittsburgh region's first Intranets for a large manufacturing company. And for the past 10 years, he has led BRUNNER Digital and has helped them continue to grow to become a top, creatively driven, interactive group. Most recently Rick led his agency’s effort to develop and launch CRICKET, its proprietary measurement and research platform.
Rick has a unique blend of technical and marketing experience. In addition to the many years of real world experience, he has a computer science degree as well as a marketing-focused MBA – this enables him to help firms to bridge the gap between marketing and IT, which is still often a large issue within many corporations today.
