Recognized by clients and associates as a first- and last-mile visionary, Norman Rich spent more than 30 years working in every facet of marketing and communications. Norman draws upon his deep experience in design, marketing, communications, customer relationship management, advertising, direct response, interactive marketing and business management to provide multidisciplinary engagement leadership.

Norman is as comfortable in the world of fast-paced entrepreneurial start-up environments as he is with Forbes/Fortune 100 clients. He was a vital part of the growth and success of each venture with which he has been associated. For eight years, Norman was President and CEO of Black Ink Communications, growing the company from one to five offices (NY, NJ, Los Angeles, Tulsa, OK, and Miami) before joining Arnold Worldwide, in 1994, one of the world's leading advertising firms, as Senior Vice President, Director of Interactive and Direct Response.

In fall 1999, Norman was named Executive Vice President, District Manager for the Mid-Atlantic Region of Circle.com, a top-tier Internet solutions provider with offices in North America and the United Kingdom.

In April of 2001, Norman joined with then partners Myles Marlow and Pamela Haberman to form Lighthouse Strategic Group.
