Robinson joined Martin in 2004 and held executive roles in client and creative departments before his promotion to CCO. Robinson previously co-founded ad agency Vigilante, where he was behind Oprah Winfrey’s famous 2004 car giveaway.
A graduate of Hampton University (then Hampton Institute) and Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University), Robinson got his start working as an associate creative director for The Guild Group. He serves on the board of Creative Ladder and is a former board chair of Feed More.
