TriStar Welcomes Rick Stamberger As Operating Partner



TriStar, a leading marketing agency serving healthcare associations for more than 20 years, has recently announced the appointment of Rick Stamberger as their new Operating Partner. Previously, Stamberger co-founded and served as CEO of SmartBrief, one of the country’s largest aggregated content companies specializing in business news and information. With his extensive experience and knowledge in digital publishing, Stamberger brings invaluable insights to help the TriStar team better serve the world of healthcare associations.

“I am looking forward to working with Robin, Eric, and the entire TriStar team and building on their impressive success to date. TriStar has been an early mover in digital media initiatives, which is one of the reasons I’m pleased to be a part of the team,” Stamberger stated.

SmartBrief, acquired by Future PLC in 2019, attributes its success to its production of over 200 digital publications per day, each tailored to specific industries, typically in partnership with leading trade associations and professional societies.  A staggering six million business professionals rely on SmartBrief for their daily industry insights, powered by a team of over 200 employees spread across five different offices throughout the U.S. In addition to hundreds of niche email newsletters, SmartBrief also offers unique advertising and marketing opportunities and in-depth, custom content. After the acquisition by Future, Stamberger served as senior vice president of their B2B business. Stamberger was a founding partner of the Boston-based management consultancy Quest Partners prior to co-founding SmartBrief. 

“Rick’s deep expertise in digital publishing, combined with his ability to blend cutting-edge technology and exceptional editorial standards, aligns perfectly with TriStar’s business goals,” said TriStar CEO Robin Reynolds. “He will be instrumental in delivering innovative, high-quality marketing solutions to our healthcare partners. Rick’s appointment marks a significant step forward as we strive for excellence.”
