Most recently, RDG Communications Group, LLC was recognized as The Best Independent Public Relations Agency in the Western United States at The American Business Awards in 2023.
Mr. Gibson has attributed his success to the invaluable and deeply appreciated support of his family, who stood behind his decision to depart from his full-time job and establish RDG Communications Group, LLC. Renowned for his confidence and his ambition, he has notably emphasized the importance of identifying and respecting cultural differences in the workplace as the cornerstone of his work in public relations. Among his proudest achievements, he fondly recalls representing The Libera Boys Choir from London throughout their U.S. tour since 2019, including their high-profile performances in Washington, D.C., New York City, and Los Angeles, California. Looking toward the future, Mr. Gibson hopes to establish a company and legacy that can endure beyond his retirement while continuing to benefit his family and the next generations of public relations professionals.
