Rob joined Riger Advertising as special projects manager in early 2000 after a number of years as a key vendor to our organization. In his current capacity of creative director, he works on a broad assortment of projects across the Agency's client roster, drawing from his diverse talents in copywriting, broadcast production, graphic design and interactive media.

After graduating from Binghamton University with a degree in creative writing, Rob worked as a reporter and copywriter in local radio. Following that, he spent four years as commercial producer for WBNG-TV, the CBS affiliate in Binghamton. Writing, producing and directing spots for scores of local and regional clients, he quickly acquired a reputation for delivering highly creative work on time and within budget.

Rob left the area to work as a copywriter for Healy-Schutte Advertising in Rochester and Buffalo, then returned to Binghamton to begin a six-year stint as creative director and vice president of Rosanne Sall Advertising. Although he is entirely self-taught in the field of graphic design, his work has consistently attracted both awards and, more importantly, results.

For seven years before joining Riger, Rob served as independent creative director of his own freelance business. Whether working for clients around the corner or as far away as Budapest, Rob has brought creativity, practicality, wit and speed to each project— qualities that led to his building long-term client relationships based on trust and mutual appreciation for a job well done.

In addition to his professional obligations, Rob has donated many hours to community service, especially for the United Way and as past treasurer of Binghamton Imaginink (formerly RiverQuest). A student of the American Civil War, he attends the Gettysburg College Civil War Institute, a week-long conference held each summer in Gettysburg, PA, with participants from all over the world.
