Susan is a broadcast whiz. She leads the content development and production of our broadcast news division. An industry veteran, she’s seen and done it all and we’re really in awe of her because she seems to have an idea, answer or solution to just about anything. Originally from Boston, her only flaw to us Floridians seems to be her ardent passion for the Patriots.

She oversees the production of all Natcom's broadcast news content and manages a growing staff of full-time, part-time and freelance writers, producers, videographers and editors.

EDDIE SARASOLA

We like to call Eddie our “man about town and creative guru”. He knows everyone and is everywhere, some people call him the Mayor. He likes to forge partnerships and bring people and companies together for the greater good and has done so for many of our clients.

Eddie was born in Cuba and raised in the Bronx NYC. He brings over three decades of experience in marketing and promotions as co-founder of Natcom. He is the company’s creative guru and is always full of unique, trailblazing, and out-of-the box ideas to get clients the greatest exposure and ROI—no idea is too big to tackle or execute in his book.

Eddie has worked on many significant branding campaigns for corporations, such as Chevron, Coca Cola, Burger King, RJ Reynolds Nabisco, Royal Caribbean, BMW, the US Government, Hilton Hotels, IBM, and many more. He was the mastermind behind “The Coors Beer Sunchaser Around the World Flight” on the Concorde aircraft, an aviation event that broke the Guinness world record and won the 1995 Top Marketing Global Promotion Award.

ROBERT RODRIGUEZ

CEO

“Bob” is our go to guy. He is a strategist and what we like to call a “business junkie” (he’s owned his own business since the age of 14). He looks at things from a unique perspective and can dissect a business in seconds and usually develops an opinion on how to improve it in minutes.

In late 2014, Natcom Marketing and NPN Media merged operations to become Natcom Global. Bob is responsible for Natcom’s overall strategic direction including its multi-media platforms that include digital, content creation, distribution, ad sales and global initiatives.

In 2008, Bob and a group of investors acquired NPN, including a stake held by NBC Universal. Prior to NPN Media, Bob co-founded and led Natcom Marketing, a 33-year old full service marketing and communications agency with a roster of clients including Chevron, American Airlines, Burger King, Citibank, U.S. Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Department of Treasury, to name a few. In 1995, Natcom produced the award-winning world record promotion, “Around the World in a Day” using an Air France Concorde to break the world aviation speed record which currently still stands.

Bob is the vice chairman of The Miami Symphony Orchestra, and has served as the chairman of the city of Miami’s adhoc budget committee, and also as an executive committee member of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce.

Bob received a Master’s degree in ALS from the University of Miami and received his Bachelor’s degree from Barry University. In 2012, Bob was named to Miami Dade College (MDC) Hall of Fame for Marketing. In 1993, Bob was a featured case study at Harvard Business School.
