Meet Rick
Rick is the founder and lead consultant at Build Social Pty Ltd, bringing a results-driven, digital-first approach to modern business growth and sales strategies.
The Journey
A Modern Approach to Growth
Rick founded I’m Rick James Bricks and grew it into a multi-million dollar operation. He managed every aspect of the business—from financials and supplier relationships to pricing, staffing, systems, and marketing—giving him a practical, first-hand understanding of what truly drives commercial value.
Rick brings a modern approach to business consulting, shaped by his ability to organically grow a social media audience to over 250,000. He now applies this digital-first thinking to business growth and sale strategies, unlocking exposure channels that remain largely untapped in the traditional business world.
With strong experience across wholesale, retail, and specialist licensing, Rick is well-placed to represent businesses that require strict confidentiality, including those operating under major brands or complex international agreements. He understands the commercial sensitivities and compliance frameworks these transactions demand.
The focus is simple: deliver practical outcomes, help businesses grow, position them properly, and connect them with the right opportunities.
