He joined Emergn shortly after I had started, and quickly brought on a PR firm and paid media partner, as well as new team members. We tackled GDPR compliance, CRM governance, and he built some of the first large-scale lead generating campaigns for the company. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to work on his team and learn so much!”

His genuine concern for the well-being of his team members is evident, making the workplace a positive and collaborative space.

I've learned a great deal from working with Richard, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any role where driving impactful growth, fostering innovation, and creating a positive and high-performing team culture are paramount.”

“I had the privilege of interning under Richard, the Senior VP of Marketing at KinderSystems. Richard is a natural-born leader with exceptional marketing talent. Working in a remote setting, I was nervous about feeling engaged in my work and connected to the company. However, Richard is the most enthusiastic person I have ever worked with. He fosters an environment that encourages open communication and collaboration, making the workplace not just productive but also enjoyable. Furthermore, Richard is always thinking of new marketing strategies. For example, he created captivating multi-channel marketing campaigns that included email marketing, event marketing, and public relations tactics to increase awareness and generate leads.

I highly recommend working with Richard. His skills and leadership make him an invaluable asset to any organization. It was a pleasure working under his guidance, and I'm confident he will continue to excel in his endeavors.”

“Richard is an enthusiastic and experienced marketing leader. I worked with Richard in the Marketing Department at Insulet Corporation while he was the Senior Director of Patient Marketing. Richard has lots of experience and is very talented in the digital marketing space; he is both digital and tech-savvy, and fluent in how to leverage channels to create customer awareness customers. More than simply a marketer, Richard was committed to searching for ways to improve the customer experience—whether it was product or service-related. Richard was always first to volunteer to test products and provide insightful firsthand feedback from his experience. What I appreciate most about Richard is his commitment to authenticity, a rare quality.”

“Richard and I met for an informal informational interview and we immediately clicked over a shared passion for content marketing. Thanks to Richard's desire to build the company's consumer awareness program, he brought me in as a content manager and Blog editor, and later expanded my role to include social media, email marketing and community manager. Richard is a skilled leader and communicator with a direct approach to accomplishing goals. While others sit back and wait for someone else to take action, Richard jumps in with both feet and gets things done. I always appreciated this aspect of his work style and could count on him as my manager to help me and others in our department achieve key milestones and objectives in a timely manner. Richard has an expansive knowledge of digital marketing which will help any organization create a successful buyer's journey to close sales and retain business. He is also a easy-going, compassionate and fun leader who excels at team-building. I learned a great deal during my tenure on Richard's team and would be honored to work for him again. Please reach out to me directly with any specific questions about Richard's professional strengths. ”

“Lots of people are skilled at what they do, but Richard does it with a passionate fire in his belly and a sense of humor. He is eager to make every day better and make every marketing effort engaging with high pull-through. He is always looking to learn "the big picture" to put together the most effective strategies and tactics. Richard is a great collaborator when you need an different point of view, in my case, his downstream patient marketing knowledge while working on upstream product development. He gives 100% to anything he touches. And, Richard can always diffuse the tension in a stressful, hours long marketing meeting with his sense of humor. He'll make you laugh and the group is automatically re-centered and re-engaged. A rare find and a great asset to any marketing team! ”

“From the first time I met Richard at Mill33 I was convinced he's going to take things into a great direction. He has a lot of experience and tons of energy and such a positive attitude to things. He is quite open and encouraging to bring in ideas. A great boss to have.”

“Rich has been an invaluable advisor for Shrooble and a great mentor to me. His expert know-how of the small business domain and past experience with SaaS enterprise start-ups made him a perfect fit for us. He is a seasoned Marketing leader with an amazing ability to contribute with equal ease at a high strategic level, as well as the tactical details. But above all, it is his high level of positive energy and can-do attitude that makes working with him so enjoyable. He is a great asset to have on any start-up team! ”

“I had the good fortune of working with Richard early in my marketing career to establish the acquisition marketing efforts at RatePoint. Much of the insight and knowledge he has shared with me, I use on a daily basis today. Richard is extremely passionate about the 'funnel' and about creating great products that benefit the customers that make it all the way through. ”

“Hands down, one of the best marketing minds I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Bright, articulate and engaging, Richard only brings an “A” game. His experience and expertise combined with his startup personality, makes him a invaluable leader and catalyst for any growing venture. An exceptional find and welcome collaborator.

His in-depth knowledge of early stage startups and track record of growth and scalability reflected in his ability to train and mentor our team. Richard’s energetic, charismatic personality set the pace for the entire office. He is an expert marketer but his c-level skills helped every aspect of the business develop. Richard helped me develop as a salesman through his tactical understanding of human nature, negotiation and transaction. Plus, it didn’t hurt that he was always willing to get his hands dirty in the trenches with us! Any organization looking for a strategic, creative and energetic c-level leader would be at a strong advantage with Richard on-board.”

“Richard is a marketing pro with many years of experience in start-up companies. He brought this experience to Trade Area Systems and helped us to rethink our messaging to our prospects for the better. He also convinced me that blogging was worth my time and coached me on approaches that would work. Richard is very passionate about his work, which is a quality that I greatly appreciate. I can easily recommend him as a CMO for any technology-based start-up.”

“I worked very closely with Richard on several programs over a few years at Lycos. Richard was a great colleague - smart, honest, diligent and committed. We accomplished a great deal. We also had fun doing it. Richard was ahead of his time as an online marketer at this time.”

“Richard is a smart, energetic, business-savvy, and creative leader who pushed us to new levels of productivity and efficiency at Mill33. He's not only knowledgeable but also an excellent mentor, whether it be day-to-day advice or encouraging "big picture" thinking. Richard quickly figured out exactly how to manage our team, and I learned a lot about both myself and business processes during my tenure with him. I had a great time working with Richard and would recommend him to any organization seeking solid leadership.”

“Richard played a key role in helping us evolve from a good events company to a great direct marketer. He dramatically improved our customer databases and developed new capabilities in analytics and relationship marketing that made a big difference in our campaign results and revenue.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Richard at Mill33, and gaining a great deal of startup knowledge leveraging Richard's vast experience and past success with companies in various stages of growth. Richard's management style is conducive to a fantastic team environment, and I was able to take away a wealth of information to improve my management skills. I would be pleased to work with Richard again, and am happy to give him my strong recommendation to any company looking for a creative, successful and experienced, C-Level marketing professional.”

“As the lead on Curata's PR team, I worked very closely with Richard on a day-to-day basis and was impressed with how quickly he was able to take Curata's marketing program from zero to sixty. He has a very quantitative approach and was able to draw distinct lines between marketing initiatives and the impact they had on lead generation--which I very much appreciated and respected, as it helped us demonstrate the true value PR had in the funnel or re-adjust programs that were not moving the needle in a meaningful way. As a result, we had tremendous success and in the process, a lot of fun working together.”

“Richard was a real joy to work for while at Mill33. From the time I met Richard he was always full of energy and had the right mind set. His business sense within the marketing world was unmatched by any others I had spoken with. The organization skills he had for not only himself but also the team was something to be admired. Richard was always there to help others and was involved in all aspects of the business to ensure success. Working for Richard gave me more than just the knowledge of running a business from the start, he showed me how to do it successfully.”

“"Not your average CMO!" As a career sales professional for over 15 years, I have had the pleasure (and sometimes not so pleasurable) opportunity to work with many CMO's. Within the first 30 seconds of meeting Richard Turcott, I absolutely knew he was different and that he was going to be one of the best. I'm not exaggerating either; Literally from the very first time he ever introduced himself to me, until the last day we worked together at the same company, every single interaction I had with Richard was one that he approached with enthusiasm, passion and a level of dedication and intensity that I have never witnessed before from Marketing professional and I'm guessing will remain unmatched. Richard is one of those types of guys that just plays the game a level higher than most and is very tough to keep up with. Even beating Richard to the office in the morning can prove to be an impossible task. When most are just starting their day, he has already accomplished more that many will by days end. I watched Richard attack our Marketing initiatives from every angle and all I can say is wow! Some marketers think that their only responsibility is to generate leads, or write an ebook now and again. Richard's list of what makes a company successful is long....and his abilities to execute against those priorities are phenomenal. In closing, if you want someone who understands lead generation (quality and quantity), messaging, asset creation, webinars, events, PPC, Marketing Automation, blogging, social media, SEO, speaking, presenting, hiring, managing, reporting, A/B testing, net promoter scores, customers, prospects, partner programs, personas and about 200 other things, and more importantly you want someone that not only knows how to do all that stuff but rather someone that has an extreme proficiency with every bit of it... Richard is your guy. He is the real deal. Richard gets it.”

“Richard is an experienced and passionate marketer, and he's really good at his job. Richard took over a fledgling marketing organization at Curata, and turned it into a well oiled machine in a very short time. In marketing, the name of the game is leads, and Richard is prolific in that department. He is an excellent manager of the various different arms of any marketing department, and knows how to deploy each arm in the most efficient way possible. You can tell that he loves his job as well. From the moment he "runs into to work every day" to the moment he leaves, his head is purely focused on driving leads and making the entire organization better. I strongly recommend Richard, and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”

“The best way I can describe working for Richard would be to use the term passion. He is very passionate about marketing, what he's marketing and how's he's marketing. As a manager and a mentor Richard has taught me so much about building a market, key lead generation strategies and how to create effective thought leadership. To have Richard on your marketing team means you're going to hit your goals and move the needle - a lot.”

“Richard hired me to Constant Contact back in 2005, and I reported directly to him. His unwavering passion for the company, business model, and brand was truly contagious as he led Constant Contact's marketing team during a time of phenomenal customer growth. A great manager and mentor, Richard was instrumental in helping me learn the business model upon my arrival and contribute to the big picture goal. His enthusiasm made me excited to come to work every day - it created a fun atmosphere and a successful work hard/play hard mentality.”

“Richard is an energetic and engaged CMO who is passionate about his mission and his employees. During his time at Constant Contact, I witnessed as he built a fantastic team of marketers who, under his leadership, took the company to the next level. While Richard is a serious marketer with a track record of impressive results, he is also a funny guy who enjoys sharing a good laugh with his team. This balance of intensity and fun make working for him a great experience.”

His communications skills, energy level and complete understanding of the customer acquisition process make him great at what he does. Richard is a driver of strategic planning and a thought leader determined to overcome challenges. His professionalism, great attitude and sense of humor made it a pleasure to work for him.”

“Richard hired me into Constant Contact at a time of incredible growth and opportunity. Immediately upon arriving at Constant Contact, Richard provided me with both the leadership and guidance I needed to immediately have a positive impact and realize amazing results. He was a great manager and mentor from whom I learned a great deal about the Software As A Service marketplace.”

“I've actually had the pleasure of knowing Richard for a few years now and am familiar not only with his work at RedRoller, but also at Constant Contact. Richard is an extremely knowledgeable and seasoned marketing professional who I've had the opportunity to learn from over the past few months. Richard also has a great sense of humor, which makes everyday interesting and fun!”

“Richard has a knack for drawing people and groups to profitable conclusion by asking the right questions at the right time. He has an uncanny ability to drill down from the big picture to the smallest detail and back-up without skipping a beat. With Richard you can be sure all bases are covered.”
