About John P. Lonsdorf, CEO Emeritus

John is a recognized leader in the public relations and marketing communications fields and a 2019 inductee into the New Jersey Advertising Hall of Fame. He founded R&J in 1986 and has led the firm through several strategic re-brandings while building the agency into one of the region’s leading strategic communications consultancies. John has authored numerous articles on brand building and the role of public relations and the importance of integrated marketing, and has been a speaker and presenter at national conferences and symposia, in addition to sitting on several industry and not-for-profit boards. John impacts each account at R&J through his laser focus on strategic direction and his drive to provide clients with the maximum returns on their marketing communications investment.

    When I founded what would eventually become R&J Strategic Communications in 1986, the vision was straightforward: build a firm rooted in integrity, trusted relationships, and strategic thinking. In our earliest days, the company operated as Roberts & John Advertising and Public Relations, a small agency with a big belief that organizations deserved communications partners who cared as deeply about their mission and reputation as they did.
