Marking Another Milestone in a Career fueled by
Curiosity and Creativity
December marks another annual lap around this planet that began in 1988 — and what a stellar journey it has been.
It is an honor to celebrate nearly four decades of Marketing and Communication Consulting … with plenty of creativity still in these bones.
And I’m actively exploring new opportunities for 2026 and beyond.
From hosting the first-ever corporate private event inside the St. Louis Arch, to commemorating a regional mall groundbreaking with Charlotte’s first Rose Garden, to helping launch Atlanta’s largest speculative Class A office tower with initiating the capital funds campaign for Zoo Atlanta with a building-wide grand opening celebration like no other — the early years, focused on strategic events, set quite a pace.
Over the course of this adventure, the creative assignments have stretched world-wide:
Brand development for Carter USA (including vision work for Atlantic Station and a mixed-use district in downtown Cincinnati)
Brand standards for Mutual of New York’s seven regional property leasing offices
Building a nonprofit organization in the Dominican Republic: Water@Work Ministry
Strategic planning for the Milton Historical Society
Brand experience creation for Competitive Social’s concepts: Roaring Social, Fairway Social, Pickle & Social
Blockchain and startup ideation for a global NFT launch of XO Planets
A meeting planner initiative for the Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau
A long, winding, joy-filled path… and the creative spark is still burning strong.
Truly — We’ve Only Just Begun.
About Robbie Gring
Strategist. Facilitator. Chief Possibility Architect.
For more than four decades, Robbie Rebekah Gring has helped organizations answer three essential questions: Who are we? Where are we going? And what will move people to action?
After a decade in commercial real estate marketing and consulting, Robbie founded Gring Marketing Solutions in Atlanta in 1988. Since then, she has led more than 1,800 strategic planning initiatives for businesses, entrepreneurs, real estate developers, nonprofits, cities, hospitality concepts and community organizations.
Her assignments have been remarkably diverse, but the gift behind them has remained remarkably consistent:
Robbie connects people, ideas and possibilities.
She listens deeply, asks the questions that uncover what really matters, sees opportunities others may overlook, and turns ideas into practical road maps for action. Her proprietary strategic planning process has been refined through decades of real-world assignments involving brand development, business growth, communication, customer experience, facilitation and the launch of new concepts.
Robbie has helped shape brands and strategies for nationally recognized organizations, major real estate developments, emerging entrepreneurs and worthwhile causes. Yet she believes the most meaningful measure of good consulting is not the size of the client or assignment.
It is meaningful progress.
Today, Robbie continues to bring curiosity, creativity, candor and four decades of experience to the table—helping leaders move from possibility to clarity, and from clarity to action.
Because after all these years, she still believes the next great idea may be waiting for someone to ask the right question.
