Toni Robin's East Coast sensibilities combine with a Southern California style to create a unique brand of Public Relations and Marketing that simply makes things happen. Her graduation from George Washington University with a Journalism degree was upstaged by Princess Diana’s wedding; however, she recovered from missing the news cycle and went on to carve out an extremely successful career in public relations and arts marketing.

She began writing and producing video news releases in DC but soon headed West (okay, Midwest) to Cincinnati, to serve as Communications Director for a non-profit organization that raises money for the arts. Finally making it all the way West,she made waves as Marketing Director for the San Diego Performing Arts League. She created and expanded a wide range of successful marketing and promotion programs that elevated the status of San Diego’s performing arts. She spearheaded an innovative marketing campaign that greatly increased public awareness of theatre, music and dance, significantly expanded ticket sales and became a national model.

Most recently, she oversaw the development of branding and communications for NTC Promenade, San Diego’s newest major destination for arts and culture. She helped create and implement a Grand Opening plan which included coordinating media and marketing for the US Chess Championship held at NTC.
