Robbins Media Group Heads South to Atlanta

Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

Mike Robbins, President and CEO of Robbins Media Group, recently announced the privately held, Charlotte, NC-based media company is opening a new call center in Atlanta next month. Through its new office, RMG will further expand its reach in helping small and medium-sized businesses with grocery cart advertising and online marketing initiatives via StarKart, the largest local advertiser grocery cart network in the United States and Canada, and the NALA, a full-service advertising and marketing agency.

RMG is experiencing substantial growth, with sales for the first quarter of 2016 up 68.5% over the first quarter of last year fueled by the opening of a call center in Greenville, SC, last year. “RMG will be offering more job opportunities in the Atlanta area,” Robbins said. “We are looking for qualified salespeople who will be not only focused on the Southeastern United States, but will be calling nationwide. Offering StarKart and the NALA’s services, we will provide business owners effective and affordable advertising and marketing solutions designed to increase name recognition of their business.”

President/CEO Robbins, an Atlanta native who still has family in the area, started as a commissioned sales representative in the industry twenty-five years ago in The Big Peach, and was transferred to Charlotte twenty-four years ago as a regional sales manager for the company he left 8.5 years ago, after reaching the level of Regional Vice President, to open RMG.

Blake Allen, Executive Vice President of Robbins Media Group, has worked with Robbins for the last sixteen years, played a major role in the success of the Greenville, SC, call center and will be heavily involved in the opening and development of the new Atlanta operation. “We anticipate as much, if not more, success in Atlanta as we’ve enjoyed in Greenville, and already have plans to open a second Atlanta call center in 2017,” Allen said.
