Why the Rhino?
It all started in high school, CEO/Founder Britt Wright, was Captain of Hanover Hawks football team. The team went from 0-10 to Region Champions under Britt’s leadership. In intense game changing situations, specifically 3rd and Short or Goal, Coach Just would call the package set, RHINO. You could hear all 50 players, coaches, and fans call out RHINO, RHINO, RHINO. Wright would move from S-Back (WR/RB) to Fullback to deliver an intense blow to All-State Linebackers and Defensive ends as either a leader blocker, runner, or occasionally would popout to the flats as a receiver.
That play-set resonated with Britt, who naturally had a go getter, hustler mentality that translated into the classroom, career, and now our approach here at Rhino Marketing Agency.
Britt Wright, Jr. | Founder
Britt Wright, grew up in Hanover, Virginia just 15 minutes north of Richmond. Wright is a graduate of George Mason University with a Bachelors in Communication. Upon graduating from Mason he started his career as a Multimedia Journalist for WPGCTV. As a journalist Wright was able to strengthening story telling skills by writing, capturing and editing footage, and interviewing guest while covering stories in Prince George’s County, M.D. before joining Fortune 200 Company, Altria Group, Inc later in 2012 as a Territory Sales Manager.
As a TSM Wright analyzed business and consumer trends to identify opportunities for Altria multi-million dollar brand portfolios across four operating companies including Phillip Morris USA, U.S. Smokeless Tobacco, and John Middleton Company. He also created and executed marketing plans in his territory to grow volume and share. He also spent time consulting clients on tactics to increase their bottom line and overall market basket with both short and long term goals.
Wright’s entrepreneurial spirit and desire to create experiences for professionals in the Greater Washington Metropolitan moved him to create Rhino Group, LLC an event promotions and apparel company that became his “side hustle.” Britt has since been recognized by 93.9 WKYS as a “Top 30 Under 30” for producing social, philanthropic, and educational events impacting young professionals in D.C. by creating relevant content marketing, understanding price elasticity, and developing relationships with Restaurant and Venue Leaders.
Britt sought to aggregate his experiences and endeavors and refine his skillset by pursuing his Masters in Business Administration from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park. Wright's focus as an MBA was Digital Marketing and Brand Management. Upon graduating Wright became a full-time Digital Marketing Sr. Strategist at Altria Group, Inc., developing Digital Experience for consumers using Retail Digital Platforms.
Britt brings a wealth of insights from a Fortune 200 company coupled with entrepreneurial endeavors that enable him to think “Big Picture” on the various levels of business, big and small while remembering to keep the consumer, first.
