TALK TO PEABODY - Key Persons

He is responsible for overseeing Peabody Communications' branding, positioning and applying strategies across the company's business platforms (marketing, public relations, advertising, design, digital) and relationship building for current and future clients.
Bobby began his career with Charging Systems International (CSI) as the head of sales and marketing in 1991 and helped develop CSI into the largest manufacturer of electric battery chargers throughout the country, working with such companies as Bass Pro, Cabelas and over 100 boat manufacturers.

Bobby continued to expand on his marketing success after FAMC sold in 2018. He then joined Lawrence Gateway in 2019 to support their marketing and public relation needs across the country. This led to the creation of Peabody Communications, which was a natural fit for Bobby based on his reputation of relationship building and his passion for marketing.
