Rick DeCosta

Marketing professional, dedicated to contributing to the growth of organizations using both inbound and outbound marketing tactics. Other interests include graphic design, photography, video, web design, and animation.

I received my Bachelor's in Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. For the past three years, I have been a Marketing Production Manager at SmartBear Software. I work directly with other members of SmartBear's lead generation team, performing tasks such as email marketing, content creation and design, project management, SEO, video editing, photography and more.

Before my position at SmartBear, I held a 9 month internship with Q2 Sports & Entertainment, a talent agency out of New York City and Miami. I worked as a designer directly with the President of the organization creating email marketing campaigns, video animations, and design pieces for the agencies top clients. Some of those clients included professional NFL players, Olympic gold medalists, and celebrities such as Pauly Shore and the cast of MTV's the Real World.

I'm from the seacoast of New Hampshire but I have always felt Boston, MA to be my hometown. Between the history, culture, and sports teams, it's a great city to visit and be close to. When I'm not focusing on work I like to travel and work on my personal photography, play basketball, and spend time with my friends and family.
