“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” —Martin Luther King Jr.
If the term Brave Women at Work were in the dictionary, (why isn’t it? LOL), Robyn Malone would be part of the definition. I met Robyn through a dear friend and colleague, and we hit it off pretty quickly.
As you will learn during our show today, Robyn has done some scary things, including:
- Following her heart and leaving her established community in New York City to be with her now husband in Chicago.
- Re-establishing her entire personal and professional community after the move while maintaining her community in New York.
- Recognizing that even though she didn’t plan on being an entrepreneur, a business was building itself around here, so she took note and build a thriving boutique PR agency.
- Not being afraid to be a truthteller in her industry because she has decided to stick to her values.
- And more!
Robyn was a like a jolt of motivation to my system and a beautiful reminder that we can do things that scare us. I’m now wondering how I’m going to stretch myself next! Anyone want to go with me to Bali?
Just kidding. Well, maybe not.
Here is more about Robyn:
Robyn Malone is the EO & Chief Partner Officer of RJ Communications, a boutique health, tech, and wellness PR agency. Robyn's communications career includes experience across various sectors, industries, therapeutic areas, and brands. Her passion for health, however, led her to focus on work that has the potential to impact lives. A storyteller at heart, Robyn spent her career in healthcare PR and communications, launching familiar healthcare brands and partnering with global powerhouses like Pfizer and P&G.
Robyn has worked extensively in corporate and brand communications in the consumer health and pharmaceutical sectors – often managing large, multinational, and multi-regional teams to develop and execute successful campaigns that deliver tangible business results. These include "You Don't Know Jack About MS," – a public awareness campaign featuring newly diagnosed MS patient Jack Osbourne, and "Relieve My Fever," – a children's contest featuring Angie Harmon to re-launch Pfizer's Children's Advil. The integrated, communications-led effort garnered more than 135 million media impressions in top-tier print and broadcast media, including Fox & Friends, The Rachael Ray Show, Parade, and People.
Today, RJ Communications works with a range of clients ranging from tech startups to large, well-established multinational companies, using our experience in all things health to tell health stories and grow healthy brands.
A native NYer turned Chicagoan, Robyn marries heart, head, and humanity to tell the stories that compel people to action.
