Meet Rick Schirmer.

Rick Schirmer is an award-winning marketing strategist, viral campaign architect, and trusted brand builder with over 25 years in the creator and influencer marketing space. His work spans Disney, Walmart, Paramount, Chick-fil-A, Warner Bros., The Chosen, and House of David, among others.

As the Founder and CEO of ViralBrand, Rick pioneered the methodology that would become the industry standard for creator-driven brand campaigns — first launched with the Passion of the Christ in 2004. His foundational thesis is that viral brands are structurally designed systems, not one-off moments.

On ViralBrand TV, Rick brings that same strategic depth to the conversation — interviewing founders, creators, and cultural architects about what it really takes to build something that spreads, scales, and sticks.
