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 Archie Boston, Jr, Tom Burrell, Brian Collins, Susan Credle, Jerry Della Femina, Nina DiSesa, David Droga, Jeff Goodby, Jeff Gorman, Gerry Graf, Bob Greenberg, Steve Hayden, Sir John Hegarty, Susan Hoffman, John Jay, David Kennedy, Paul Lavoie, George Lois, David Lubars, PJ Pereira, Chuck Porter, Keith Reinhard, Danny Robinson, Tiffany Rolfe, Bob Scarpelli, Rich Silverstein, Jimmy Smith, Carol Williams, Donna Weinheim, and Dan Wieden.
