Rick Fossum is the Vice President of Marketing at Haggai International, where he leads the organization’s brand and marketing efforts both domestically and internationally.

He is known as a problem solver with an intuitive understanding of culture. Over the course of more than 20 years in the agency world, he has worked as a designer and creative director, influencing the marketing strategies of major companies and iconic brands. His expertise, however, isn’t confined to the corporate world. As a consultant, Rick has worked with a diverse array of clients—from faith-based organizations and government agencies to small businesses and non-profits—helping them craft compelling stories and build authentic brands.

Originally from Connecticut and a graduate of Jacksonville University in Florida, Rick has called metro Atlanta home since 1991. He and his wife, Susan, have been married for 27 years. Together, they’ve watched their two adult sons establish lives in Boston and New York City, while Rick and Susan embrace life as empty-nesters in Roswell, GA. But it’s not just the two of them. Their cat, C.C., still keeps them on their toes, endlessly debating whether to stay inside or venture out—scratching the furniture along the way.
