Bio
Peter Stroh
Rick is a solid marketing professional with many longstanding relationships in the country music industry. While at the Country Music Association as their senior marketing officer, I often turned to Rick for advice and sponsorship opportunities to help Ford market their F-Series trucks to country music enthusiasts. He's a tremendous asset who loves and lives his work.
Beth Oliver
Rick is well-versed and skilled in strategic partnership development and marketing. He listens well and acts in the partner's best interest. I enjoyed getting to know Rick over the years while I led the promotional agency team planning and executing Chevrolet's entertainment marketing programs with the Country Music Association. We worked together shooting Chevy's annual country music artist calendar, The CMA Music Festival and Awards, including bringing the first-ever Country Music concerts and Awards show to New York City, complete with Chevy vehicle parade, free public concerts and press events. Rick paid attention to every detail, keeping artists, media and marketing partners informed and happy. Beth Oliver boliver@comcast.net
