Our Team
Robin Ernst, Partner
A graduate from the University of Washington, Robin focused her studies on Mass Media and Business Communication. Starting her career at KOMO TV's Northwest Afternoon, she worked as the liaison between the show and non-profit organizations.
After working for a daily talk show, Robin moved into KOMO TV's newsroom working exclusively with Emmy Award Winning Reporter John Sharify and News Anchor/Consumer Investigator Connie Thompson. Through this experience, Robin gained invaluable insight into newsroom operations. More importantly, she gained understanding into what it takes to have a story receive news coverage.
Witnessing the power and influence of television; Robin became an Account Executive (AE) for KOMO's Sales Department. There, she helped local businesses achieve their revenue goals and create positive images within the community through the power of TV. She guided media buyers and negotiated advertising buys. Robin focused on medical marketing, non-profit/government messaging, retail advertising, and entertainment promotions.
In 2008 Robin co-founded 4th Avenue Media after recognizing a strong need for businesses to "tell their story." Using her expertise, she is confident she can help you take your business to the next level.
Lucas Mack, Partner
Working in the media gives Lucas eyes into the ever changing world of advertising and public relations. Starting out in public relations at the University of Washington, Lucas worked side by side with Sports Columnists and Sports Broadcasters from around the Northwest.
From there he took a job at KOMO TV, as the Audience Coordinator for the live talk show, Northwest Afternoon. While there, he entertained audiences and worked behind the scenes in sales and public relations. Developing a knack for what people liked based on immediate crowd reaction; Lucas took this lesson into his broadcast journalism career.
He moved to eastern Washington as a reporter for the NBC affiliate, where he fell in love with storytelling. His next stop brought him to the Lone Star State reporting for the FOX affiliate in San Antonio as their Feature Reporter, hosting his own live segment.
Lucas thrived at telling unique stories that connected with the audience. He was able to translate his skill of entertaining a live audience into his stories. His broadcast journalism career launched him home, back to Seattle, where he reported for KOMO TV.
In 2008, Lucas co-founded 4th Avenue Media to give clients the unique opportunity to tell their story by a broadcast journalist. Spending years in a newsroom, Lucas knows what it takes to get mass media coverage. His stories are both informational and entertaining, and he wants to tell yours.
