Ron Richards

I build brands and grow audiences for the companies and stories I love. For more than two decades I've worked at the intersection of media, entertainment, gaming, and technology — figuring out how great content finds its biggest, most passionate audiences.

Most recently, I led Marvel's Digital Media organization, stewarding the world's most beloved Super Hero brand across every social platform and engaging a global audience of more than 275 million on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and Marvel.com. Today I'm Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Scorbit, where we connect pinball and arcade machines to the cloud and bring competitive play to a connected community of players.

Podcasting has been a constant thread. I co-founded iFanboy, one of the longest-running comic book podcasts, and I co-host Android Faithful, covering smartphones and mobile tech — I've been talking into a microphone about the things I love since before it was a job people had.

Along the way I've been lucky to work with great companies: Anchor (acquired by Spotify), Fresco/Drop Kitchen, Image Comics, Graphicly (acquired by Blurb), Revision3 (acquired by Discovery), Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and — way back in the day — Modem Media. Always somewhere in marketing, content, community, and business development, and always making things happen.

When I'm not working, I'm deep in comics, movies, games, and gadgets. And yes, I still enjoy a good cookie.
