Gloria Robbins - Founder/CEO

So how much time have you got?

You'll need a few moments to learn about Gloria's fascinating backstory. She founded SMS in 1988, after scaling the marketing heights at Taco Bell, Knott's Berry Farm, and The Walt Disney Company. Her charismatic leadership and marketing smarts have helped SMS clients like LG Electronics MobileComm USA, Lufthansa, Heritage Foods, and Neutrogena build business. Her insights and inspiration motivate her highly skilled team of marketers to do the same, every day.

But you'll need a goodlier chunk of time to have a discussion with Gloria. We promise you won't be bored - she's a wellspring of ideas and well, let's just say she's a bit on the chatty side. Fortunately you'll no doubt come away with six smart new ideas, the strategic angle that everyone else missed, a medium-bodied Pinot Noir to try, and a hilarious anecdote or three.

Gloria's business acumen and dynamism have been recognized by the National Association of Women Business Owners, which honored her with their Remarkable Woman Lifetime Achievement award in 2007; as well as Woman Sage, who bestowed a Stellar Woman award upon Gloria.

Our loquacious leader would like to share something about her hobbies, but between SMS, shopping, and her grandkids' ball games she no longer has time for any. Okay that's not quite true. She's already adept at interior design, and her long-term plans include trying to turn off her cell phone occasionally.
