Inspiration

Throughout his 30 years in the advertising business as well as the Director of the VCU Brandcenter, Rick has always been interested in the path people took to find their passion; who inspired them, how did they stay inspired and what did they do to inspire those around them. So in 2014, Rick in partnership with the ADC, conceived and produced a film series called “Inspiration” highlighting creative giants. The first three included Advertising legend Lee Clow, world famous graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff and renowned architect Clive Wilkinson. Now created in partnership with The Advertising Club / International Andy's, and AICP, icons Tom Burrell, Susan Credle, Jerry Della Femina, Nina DiSesa, David Droga, Jeff Goodby, Bob Greenberg, Sir John Hegarty, Susan Hoffman, David Kennedy, George Lois, Keith Reinhard, Tiffany Rolfe, Rich Silverstein, Jimmy Smith, Carol Williams and Dan Wieden have been added. Shot and being edited are Brian Collins, Steve Hayden, John Jay, David Lubars, PJ Pereira, Chuck Porter, Danny Robinson and Bob Scarpelli.
