I make stuff. Digital stuff, integrated campaign stuff, big ideas, small ideas, and the traditional stuff, too. I manage the day-to-day here at the agency and work closely with the teams to help develop ideas for our clients. We do great stuff and it’s fun to be a part of it. #### What is your proudest career moment? Working on CreateAthon.  We do it every year at EGC.  It's where we donate our services to a number of charities in one, whirlwind 24-hour period.  I think we’ve created some outstanding work for some deserving people. #### How do you delight clients every day? I like to look at the marketing problem and solve it in a way they didn’t see coming. Not just to be different, but to be fresh. The unexpected is what gets noticed, and makes the client smile…usually. #### What inspires you? Experiences. Going to the beach, to the city, to concerts. I think getting out and doing different things leads to different thinking. You've got to get out of the office in order to get out of the box. #### Any partners, spouses or pets you want to mention? My wife Gina and my two little girls, Mia and Olivia. #### What is the most surprising fact about you? I love street art. Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Brainwash. #### Are you a good cook? I’m a griller, and I think I’m a pretty good griller. I don’t overcook anything. I make some pretty mean sliders with the works. #### What do you do for fun? Beach with the family, golf, snowboarding, deep-sea fishing, yard work. Especially yard work. I've got a thing for big, gas-powered tools. ![Rich-DeSimone](https://207918.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/file-634518224-jpg/People/Individual_Pages/Rich-DeSimone-1.jpg "Rich-DeSimone") ### connect with me [![](https://207918.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/file-639085193-png/People/icons/people-twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/richategc) ### EGC Group **1175 Walt Whitman Road** Melville, New York 11747 (516) 935-4944 **121 E. 24th St, 9th Floor** New York, NY 10010 (212) 758-1118 [![googlepartner_egc](https://207918.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/hub/207918/file-1193073631.jpg?width=162&name=file-1193073631.jpg)](https://www.google.com/partners/?hl=en-US#a_profile;idtf=8031757043) [**](https://www.facebook.com/egcgroup/) [**](http://www.twitter.com/egcgroup) [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-egc-group) [**](https://plus.google.com/115710436492625032403/) [**](http://www.youtube.com/egcgroup) [**](http://www.pinterest.com/egcgroup) [**](https://www.instagram.com/egcgroup/) [**](https://www.snapchat.com/add/egcgroup) ### Services - [Branding & Development](http://207918.hs-sites.com/branding-and-development) - [Creative Development](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-creative-services) - [Inbound + Content Marketing](http://www.egcgroup.com/inbound-content-marketing) - [Digital Marketing](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-online-marketing) - [Email Marketing](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-email-marketing) - [Mobile Marketing](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-mobile) - [Online Video](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-online-media) - [SEM & PPC](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-search-engine-marketing) - [Search Engine Optimization](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-search-engine-optimization) - [Web Design & Development](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-web-design) - [Social Media Marketing ](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-social-engagement) - [Consumer Research](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-research) - [Media Planning & Buying](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-media-planning-buying) - [Public Relations/Events](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-events) - [Retail Marketing](http://207918.hs-sites.com/services-retail-marketing) ![](http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/1039145113/?value=0&guid=ON&script=0)
