Rob Harris’s Summary

Jason Falls says it best:

“Rob could be called a risk-taker, but I would prefer the word "innovator" when it comes to marketing. Always pushing the edge of what technology and the marketplace has to offer, Rob develops platforms and messages that infuse enthusiasm and excitement in Robby Gordon fans and does so in a marketing environment that A) Is hard to stand out in and B) Presents mountains of obstacles normal business entities don't have to deal with. That said, RGM's marketing efforts always stand out. In the marketing-rich world of NASCAR, that's saying something.” August 6, 2008
