About

Rob Woodbury

I've spent 15 years building and executing partnerships — national campaigns for BMW, Coca-Cola, and EA Sports, a $50M+ partner portfolio at Hard Rock Stadium, opening a new category at PointsBet, and partner marketing and go-to-market at NEAR Foundation across AI, blockchain, and emerging tech.

What I like is telling a brand's story through partnerships — marketing built into the moment, not a logo lockup.

A partnership isn't what's in the contract — it's what shows up in the broadcast, the building, and the customer's hands.

Let's talk partnerships

I'm looking for my next partnerships role — building a team, launching a co-marketing program, or bringing a product into culture.
