Robin Blake | Creative Director Robin has been in the ad business for 30+ years, 20+ of those years working with Drew at both his agency and at AMI. —— This has led to the development of her special superpower – the ability to read Drew’s handwriting. Robin has worked on projects for nearly every industry you can imagine — from casinos to milk to cement to hospitals to the Iowa teacher’s union, from production art to brand/logo development, and everything in between. This meant really understanding each client’s needs and getting to know their business inside and out - not just from a design perspective. These experiences taught her how to manage the creative process from conception to completion requiring exceptional organizational skills, the ability to work within strict client budgets and deadlines, and the importance of speed AND accuracy. Her dependability, warped sense of humor, efficiency, and willingness to adapt to the changing needs of the industry make her an asset to our team. Robin is a big Chicago Cubs fan and a mystery lover. She is also an amazing storyteller. Just don’t ask her to write them down. She’s highly spell-check dependent and believes there are writers in advertising for a reason. When she’s not working, Robin enjoys spending time with her wife, Shari, and their two fur babies.
