Untitled Document Robert Fiveash
Co-owner and Acting Vice-President
Brand Fuel Promotions "In addition to exercising the business and financial skills obtained during my career in the day-to-day leadership of Brand Fuel, my background enables me to provide sound business advice to our clients. Brand Fuel's goal is to enhance the longevity and effectiveness of our clients' promotional initiatives by providing creative ideas and quality products at competitive prices. Ultimately, we are interested in increasing the customer's bottom line." As co-owner and current vice president of Brand Fuel, Robert Fiveash is responsible for overseeing a wide range of company functions. In addition to managing the company's Virginia location, he utilizes his extensive academic and professional financial expertise to further Brand Fuel's growth and secure its position as a leader in a rapidly growing industry. Before he and Rosin co-founded Brand Fuel in 1998, Fiveash spent four years honing his financial skills and business insight as a stockbroker at A.G. Edwards and Sons' Norfolk, Virginia, office. While there, he focused on tailoring portfolios to meet the specific needs of a range of clients-a skill that Fiveash applies at Brand Fuel daily. And, as the host of Public Radio's 6:30 A.M. daily "Pre-Opening Stock Market Report," Fiveash provided market commentary and daily economic news updates to the community. Fiveash earned his MBA from The College of William and Mary in 1998 with a concentration in finance and marketing. His interests include running, canoeing, skiing, and a longtime involvement with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. Danny Rosin
Co-owner and Acting President
Brand Fuel Promotions "Watching the specialty advertising industry grow dramatically over the past 20 years has enabled me to parallel Brand Fuel's evolution with the pace of the industry's demands. As a result, we provide our clients with the services they need--quickly, effectively, and thoughtfully." Danny Rosin is the co-owner and current president (a title he shares on alternating years with his partner and long-time friend, Robert Fiveash) of Brand Fuel. Rosin's responsibilities at Brand Fuel include managing the NC sales team and marketing efforts, recruitment of new employees, and providing strategic and tactical counsel to clients. Rosin brings more than 20 years of promotional advertising industry expertise to his leadership role at Brand Fuel. He began his career as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), where his entrepreneurial spirit manifested itself through the design, production, and sale of t-shirts supporting the Tar Heels.
After graduation from Carolina, Rosin carried his knowledge of design, production, and the promotional industry with him to Body Billboards Screen Printing and Embroidery, where he served as an Account Executive, Sales Manager, and helped manage Creative Services. Rosin played an integral role in growing annual sales from $220,000 to $3.5 million and expanding the company's client base from 120 to 860. He was also responsible for developing original design concepts and layouts. A couple of Rosin’s awards include being honored as a Top 40 under 40 by The Business Journal and one of ASI's "Hot People", which sadly, has very little to do with good looks. Along with his business partner, Robert Fiveash, they were both selected as 2 of 20 “Up and Comers” in the promotional advertising industry by Counselor Magazine. Outside Brand Fuel, Rosin is acting president and cofounder of Band Together, a volunteer group dedicated to raising funds and awareness for select charities through events that showcase and support musical talent.
