“A breath of fresh air to have an account leader, who actively thought about our business and cut through the BS to ask the hard questions, which lead to real creative solutions to our brand marketing challenges.”

Nathan Schmidt
General Manager, Brand Marketing; DISH TV

“Rob has an uncanny ability to zero in on a brand marketing problem and identify the challenges that need to be overcome to achieve a brand's goals.

I had the pleasure of working with Rob for almost two years while I headed DISH TV's Brand Marketing team and it was a breath of fresh air to have an account leader, who actively thought about our business and cut through the BS to ask the hard questions, which lead to real creative solutions to our brand marketing challenges.

On top of that, his down-to-earth, good humored nature made him incredibly fun to partner with. He's an excellent thought leader and strategic partner.”

“Rob’s true strength lies in his ability to listen. He goes deep to truly understand what makes his clients and his team tick, to get to the heart of what is really needed.”

“Rob and I go way back. I've been lucky enough to have him on my team and have witnessed his work on a number of different clients at a few different agencies. So I can confidently say, he's an asset to any team.

His skills translate so well because, yes, as others have said, he’s very good at his job. He’s a great strategic account person and creative thinker. He’s extremely dedicated to his team and the craft. He’s meticulous. He has a kind soul. He’s genuinely funny. I could go on.

But Rob’s true strength lies in his ability to listen. He goes deep to truly understand what makes his clients and his team tick, to get to the heart of what is really needed. And he puts ego aside to focus on delivering exactly that. His empathy is the super power that fuels everything else, and that’s a rare quality to find in this business.”

“He took the time to mentor those around him, sharing knowledge and guidance that helped me grow professionally and personally.”

“I had the pleasure of reporting directly to Rob, and I can confidently say he is one of the most dedicated and inspiring leaders I’ve worked with. His passion for the business is unmatched—he brings strategic thinking, sharp client management skills, and a deep understanding of what drives results.

What stood out most was his generosity as a teacher. He took the time to mentor those around him, sharing knowledge and guidance that helped me grow professionally and personally. His calm, kind demeanor paired with a relentless work ethic made him a true role model.

Any team would be lucky to have Rob. He brings heart, insight, and leadership to everything he does.”

“A translator between creatives and clients in a way I’ve rarely experienced.”

Gaby Bates (Strnad)
Senior Art Director; Highdive

“Rob is a creative’s favorite account person. There’s really no one like him. He is detailed, clear, and genuinely passionate about the work. He will always fight to refine and push creative until it becomes its best possible version. He’s able to act as a translator between creatives and clients in a way I’ve rarely experienced. This builds trust on both sides, which is incredibly important. He is a true partner, and believes in the power of working as a team. He is funny, witty, and unflinchingly optimistic. He’ll pick you up when you’re down, and lift you even higher when you’re up. If advertising is just really just one large group project, Rob is the guy you want on your team.”
