About Robert

Hi I’m Robert Vernon – I help business owners grow their businesses in the printing industry.
Robert Vernon, founder and president of Robert Vernon & Co., specializes in Print Industry Marketing. Robert helps companies connect with their marketplace, employing tried and tested marketing and growth strategies to enhance their success.
Robert founded Digital World in 1993, serving publishers, corporations, and ad agencies during the transition to digital from analog in the printing industry. In 1995, he expanded his services with Digital World Media, a digital agency, focusing on the printing industry and helping companies connect with their customers through websites and state-of-the-art graphic design.
In 1998, Robert, along with Dan Mulligan, pioneered web-to-print technology with I-Que. In just five years, Digital World had grown to 35 team members in three locations. By merging Digital World with five other companies in 1999, they created C2 Media, headquartered in NYC, where Robert was named to the board of directors, Senior VP, and Chief Technology Officer. He played a crucial role in helping the company grow from $48 million in revenue to $120 million within two years, expanding to 17 locations in the US and Canada.
In 2001, Robert started Digital Arts. In 2016, he and his team began building what would become Market Que, a proprietary digital marketing platform designed specifically for the printing industry.
At Robert Vernon, we offer tailored print industry solutions, specializing in Print Industry Marketing. Benefit from our Single Consulting Session, Private Consulting Session, and Group Consulting Sessions for strategic marketing success.
Our current clients include Eli Lilly, NY Public Library, Association of National Advertisers, Leesa Beds, Rutgers University, Princeton University, Publicis, Idaho Cattle Association, Victoria Secret, Netflix, Nordstrom, Heron Therapeutics, Persistent Systems, Messer, and Johnson and Johnson.
Awards won include a Silver and Gold Key awards from Business Marketing Association, sales award from Sales Professionals International and an Andre Shellenberg award from DPI.
Robert has served on the board of directors of several nonprofits, Dare 2 Share, Hope of the World and Binnacle House.
Robert currently lives in Idaho with his wife Sandra and their two dogs. When not helping people grow their businesses, he enjoys reading mystery novels and playing drums and bass.
