The beginning
Pushing the Envelope
They weren’t just entrepreneurs; they were also visionaries.To wit: In 1997, Brent Kuhn required that everyone in the agency take HTML classes so we could learn how webpages worked. He saw the Internet coming as a new, viable channel for our clients.

Our core values and beliefs
We believe in transparency, honesty, gratitude, and a strong effort.
These are the seven principles that guide our business and our people.
Our word is our bond.
If we commit to doing something, we do it. We make agreements with care, and we tell the truth.
We encourage our employees to innovate.
All businesses must evolve to thrive; our employees are vital to that innovation.
We strive for excellence.
Quality is scalable. Every client deserves high-quality thinking and results. Our business is designed to deliver.
We do not take advantage of others.
We believe the best business is built on a fair exchange of value. This is the only way for both parties to win.
We respect each other’s property.
Whether items or ideas, we do not tolerate theft in any form.
We recognize performance.
Every day, there are heroic efforts and brilliance in our company. We aspire to see them and recognize each team member's contribution. This is what makes business so much fun.
We are grateful.
Gratitude is essential to growth. Without the trust and confidence of our clients and employees, we wouldn’t be in our third decade. We are extremely thankful.
Meet our CEO, Ken Robbins
RMI CEO & Founder Ken Robbins got his start in business when he dropped out of Georgia Tech and earned his real estate license. He began knocking on doors—sometimes 150/day— and became the youngest board-certified multi-million dollar producer at age 24.
The man behind one of those doors was a veteran ad agency owner who recruited Ken out of real estate to start a new initiative at his then agency, BKV, and eventually backed him, founding RMI in 2001.
Ken has been featured in articles in Inventor’s Digest, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Strategic Healthcare Marketing. Ken has also been a featured contributor to the best-selling books, Socialnomics and The Digital Leader and is an avid Keynote Speaker and business podcast guest.
