Background

About Robert Sostman

Hi, I’m Robert! I was born in LA and had a childhood full of competitive sports, performing magic and chasing adventure. Despite being the youngest person in my grade each year, my considerable height and booming voice stood out and helped me thrive as a leader. I started a career in the entertainment business. As responsibilities grew, days were filled with managing operations and personal affairs for actors, producers and professional athletes. What started as an exciting adventure was ultimately unfulfilling. Regardless, I built client management superpowers in the process. Next, I magically landed an opportunity to learn a completely new space by the side of someone who is universally recognized as an industry revolutionary. As SVP, I’ve collaborated with dozens of top-tier national and global brands, helping them maximize their advertising/media/marketing performance across both traditional and digital media. Whether it’s climbing the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, trekking on camelback through the Sahara desert or presenting in the boardroom, I’ve been fortunate to actualize my passions. Leading teams focused on pitching and acquiring new business is a deep love of mine, but I also truly enjoy the account management portion of the work, managing those clients needs and strengthening relationships. Thanks to my extensive work within the sports, restaurant, gaming, education, broadband, and franchise-based client categories, I have a broad perspective on leading media management for clients. My clients say I have an endless supply of positive energy which helps us effortlessly work together (often for over 10 years). I’m also grateful for my wife and twin teenage sons who are following in my footsteps as standout athletes. Professional highlights: I have executive leadership experience in account services going back 25+ years I collaborate with my clients as a trusted partner, often for consecutive decades at a time From internal and external teams, I know my way around leadership and project performance I’ve been able to bridge the gaps between account services, client management and media sales Thanks for reading my story. I look forward to meeting you. For media inquiries or questions, e-mail me any time at rsostman@theusim.com. Let’s connect on LinkedIn!
