Bio
Erin Abbatangelo
Robin is an exceptional relationship builder and manager - with her clients, vendors and team. I worked for Robin for 4.5 years and loved every minute - she taught me how to build and run a successful business, new skills in client management, negotiation at a senior level and reminded me that personal ethics always win. Robin is a cheerleader, mentor, coach and most importantly, she is a leader. Robin helped shape my ability to make senior leadership business decisions and she taught me the value of being true to who I am as a leader. Robin is exceptional at everything she does - and I would follow her anywhere.

The Tite Group is an independent content marketing agency based in Toronto, Canada. With traditional advertising performance decreasing over time, brands need to provide content that consumers want to see opposed to ads they'd rather skip. Every brand needs to be a media property. We can help.We are a collection of nerds, weirdos, comedians, chefs, athletes, fashionistas, globetrotters, boundary pushers, and thought leaders. But we all share one thing in common — a brimming passion to create content people want to see instead of what they have to see.
