Since 1985, Rob has provided marketing and public relations counsel to global brands and pioneering web-based and technology businesses. In 2002 he founded RL Strategies.

After years of riding the agency merry-go-round and surviving the consolidation of three early stage companies, there is still a question as to whether or not Rob actually grasped the proverbial brass ring. Regardless, he is now a joyfully independent consultant who helps companies find their voice and develops compelling marketing, communications and public relations programs to help express it.





At leading advertising agencies in New York (NW Ayer, Della Femina, McNamee, WCRS) and Boston (Mullen, Arnold Worldwide), Rob has provided counsel and services to a number of high profile consumer brands including; DeBeers Diamonds, Cointreau Liqueur, Timberland, Century 21 Real Estate and Seagram.

As in-house marketing counsel, Rob helped to develop, grow, and sell early-stage technology and web-based businesses including: Pro CD, the first national database on CD-ROM, now the backbone of most online “look-up” services; edu.com, the first e-commerce site exclusively for college students; and Rovia, which developed a proprietary software that guaranteed secure online content sharing.
