Robejohn's 20th Anniversary

In December Robejohn was a proud sponsor of the 2007 FIA Chapter One Awards of Excellence in Fundraising. To celebrate our 20th Anniversary Robejohn hosted a performance by the acclaimed singer and entertainer Bernadette Robinson at the function attended by more than 250 people. Bernadette was accompanied by her partner Paul Noonan on the piano. Listening to the magnificent voice of Bernadette was an absolute joy.

We were delighted when Able Australia won the award for Budget Renewal category B and we extend our congratulations to all who worked hard to make this appeal standout in the charity fundraising market. The appeal showcased the exceptional talents of people who have deafness, blindness and/or other disabilities who participate in the AbleArt program.

20 Years Ago...

20 years ago, Robejohn started as a Direct Marketing Agency working out of a sweltering hot garage in the backyard of Kathy’s Grandfather in St Kilda. Yes, we really did! The office we had leased was not ready to occupy and with a client eager to have his direct response Christmas Catalogue ‘in the mail’ we quickly converted Grandad’s garage into a ‘sweatshop’, setup our state-of-the-art electronic memory typewriter, and set to work.

Back then, the team consisted of Managing Director, Kathy John; Finance Director, David Roberts (Kathy & David wed in 1991); Operations Manager, Jill Heymanson; Secretary par excellence, Janice Tilley and Lettershop Manager, Shirley Forbes.

We extend our thanks to all the people who have supported us over the past 20 years and we look forward to many exciting times ahead.
