​ Memorial

Picture
     Bob Gibson was one of the most creative and dynamic of the expansive group of public relations professionals  during the heyday of pop music recording and touring, particularly in the 70s and 80s.  Although he worked with some of the most accomplished public relations and publicity professionals throughout his long career, he found his greatest success when he joined forces with Gary Stromberg and formed Gibson & Stromberg,  guiding the public-facing careers of the some of the most successful music artists in the world.  Bob passed away on October 23, 2020.  

     The photos on this page represent a small sample of some of the artists and music industry executives he worked with during the aforementioned pivotal years. (Note:  If you have photos of-or-with Bob Gibson that you'd like to share on this website, please email them to me (Pete Senoff) at [email protected]).  Thank you.
