WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

  • “Insurgents helped me with a startup in our portfolio who was struggling with messaging. They needed help to make it clearer, more consistent, and compelling. In a few quick sessions, Insurgents pinpointed the problem and helped the team improve their marketing.”

    — Tony Coretto / Managing Director, Strategic Ventures

  • “A huge thank you to Insurgents for caring so much & getting our website done on time. The response from our team has been incredible & I’m sure our customers, current & future, will be as inspired as we are.”

    — Sally Aaron, Frm. Vice President Sweegen

  • “Robin and Insurgents gave our Australian clinical skincare brand a heart that differentiated it on the global stage.  Robin challenged category norms, put the consumer at the core of our strategy, celebrated our heritage and propelled Alpha-H into the future. Since our re-launch, we’ve gone from strength to strength, growing brand awareness and becoming a leading specialist with global distribution.”

     — Tina Randello / Fmr. Chief Commercial Officer, Alpha-h

  • “Robin has been our secret sauce in navigating startup life. Her experience and knowledge are invaluable – from marketing, pitching, contacts, and much more. She brings energy and fire to every experience and is often the push we need. I love her no nonsense approach, her humor, and her enthusiasm.”

    — Caroline LaHood / Co-Founder, Colorforge

  • “I recruited Insurgents to work with me on a biotech assignment, helping the firm establish its first messaging and updated brand imagery. She and her team brought fresh and disruptive thinking to a category where most are reluctant to push the envelope. She’s been a critical partner with scores of other clients – always generous with her time and able to find the core of the story that leads to breakthrough messaging.”

    — Carrie Leonard / Business Builder

  • “Your inspiration ignited this remarkable journey! Our win at the MUSE Awards is a testament to your direction. Thank you for sparking the light! "Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

    — Dr. Dawn Ell

  • “Robin took two newbies through a rebranding effort with patience and grace. She partners with the top people in their respective fields. Most importantly, once we landed on our theme, Robin developed a brand book which serves as our north star. We continue to reach out to her as a resource as we make business decisions. Robin is a consummate professional who we consider an important partner.”

    — Edward (Ted) Lain, MD, MBA
