RAMedia, originally Robinson Andrew Media, was launched with the advent of the dot-com boom, when journalist Tim Robinson was hired as a consultant for the first editorial team at Excite, then Architext. Robinson eventually joined the new portal full-time, and partner Jan Andrew, whose career spanned both journalism and public relations, began consulting with other small start-ups in the Bay Area until she was hired full-time by Channel A, a pioneer in Asian American new media. Both went on to work full-time for other dot-coms – including Alta Visa, NBCi, aMedia and AOL. Now Jan is in New York, ready to tackle the new global economy and its challenges. Here’s what some of RAM’s clients/employers have to say:

“Janet is dedicated and effective in her role as an instructor at the Women’s Center . She is the consummate professional who brings an enormous amount to the table for the women who avail themselves of her services. The Women’s Center is so grateful for all her support.”
Kathleen Vaughan, Manager Career Services The Women’s Center

“Janet Andrew helped me create and execute some highly effective marketing strategies for my business. She is a smart, creative, innovative thinker and I guarantee you will benefit from working with her.”
Pragito Dove, author, meditation master, trainer (www.pragito.com)

“Jan Andrew has been instrumental in opening new doors for me. Thanks to her great editing and her marketing ideas, I have been featured in two local publications (previously not interested) and was invited to speak to the support group of the Gulfcoast Spine Institute patients. The goodwill generated by my speaking engagement was priceless, and it also generated free publicity in the local newspaper, resulting in more business. Jan’s innovative marketing ideas have kept my business on the forefront of wellness care and competitive with the spas within a half mile of my office. I wholeheartedly recommend Jan for editing, public relations and marketing.”
Dr. Cheryl McFarland-Bryant, Better Health Chiropractic

“Robinson Andrew Media demonstrated quickly to our Plantronics product team a strong understanding of our marketing needs – and executed two campaigns in a row that were right on the message. Tim and Jan’s work on our Web site product descriptions, in particular, created a voice and tone that is lively and fun – while still capturing the essence and unique functionality of the products Plantronics has to offer.”
Kristi Kaspar, Director of Online Marketing, Plantronics, Inc, Santa Cruz, Calif.

“Tim is an excellent writer and terrific collaborator on a literary project. With Tim’s decades of sophisticated writing experience and Jan’s extensive background in the publishing field, they make an outstanding team.”
James R. Ukropina, Attorney and Author, Los Angeles, Calif.

“When I asked for Jan and Tim’s help, I was stuck. I had a book manuscript, but didn’t know what to do make it saleable, of interest to agents and publishers, and useful to my audience. They really bailed me out. They worked with me patiently and exactingly to revise the manuscript and to develop its readability, to develop materials for submission to agents, and even helped me write the inquiry letters to agents they found for me. Without their help, I would still be going in circles; with it, I have a far better manuscript, an agent who is interested in my work, and a lot more optimism about publishing. I owe it all to Jan and Tim at RAMedia.”
Michael D. Mitchell, management consultant and author, Lake Oswego, Oregon

“Tim Robinson is the most innovative, creative, tenacious person I know. I have worked with him, and he has been a staff person for me. I have followed his career as it changed and evolved with today’s business needs. If you need writing, editing, public relations work, new ideas, quick responses to tough problems, Tim is the man to call. He has knowledge and experience with the Internet, with areas of the law, with publishing, with association work, with meetings and presentations…his breadth of experience and competencies is amazing!”
Dorothy Molstad, Molstad Marketing/PR, Stillwater, Minn.
(former Communications Director, West Publishing Co.)

“[RAM] truly delivered on the promise of ‘strategic’ communication consulting, bringing depth of analysis, experience and dynamic branding to launch this new service, and in so doing, to transform my company towards greater innovation…Above all, we worked together beautifully as a team.”
Adrienne Gans, GansWorks

“As an author and consultant, I benefited greatly from the broad spectrum of RAM’s strategic communications services. I was able to take advantage of a large part of the two partners’ impressive package and arsenal of tools, project by project…Thanks, Tim and Jan. I hope we’ll be working together for a long time to come.”
Dr. Tom Lauda, America’s Premier Team Energy Coach
