Rick Vosper - Partner

Rick Vosper’s quarter-century of experience includes executive stints as Director of Global Marketing for Specialized Bicycles and VP of Marketing & Product for Veltec Sports (North American distributor of Sidi shoes, Colnago bicycles, LOOK pedals, Enervit sport nutrition, and other products).

Outside the corporate world , Rick has worked as an award-winning copywriter and creative director for advertising, collateral, web, and multimedia. His Outdoors clients include Schwinn, Trek, Kestrel and Specialized bicycles; Giro helmets, Yakima sport racks, and Bucci sunglasses.

Hi-tech clients include Microsoft, HP, 3Com, Borland, Compaq, Creative Labs, Philips Multimedia, Nextel, Hyundai, and Oracle. “Less classifiable” clients range from Hi-C fruit drink and GE power plants to gourmet foods and Learjet aircraft.

After years of working for—and learning from—enterprises ranging from startups to multi-billion-dollar global players, Rick kept seeing companies with great products who simply lacked the marketing expertise or horsepower to turn themselves into great brands. He founded Rick Vosper Marketing Services in 2007 to deliver best-in-industry marketing strategy, development and deliverables to small-to-midsize companies in the cycling, outdoors, and fitness industries.
