Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Randy Strothman & Associates launched in 1987, when Randy left his faculty support position at the University of Pittsburgh to freelance in video production. His initial clients included Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, WQED-TV, WTAE-TV, and Westinghouse. Since the early days the business has expanded services to include branding, marketing, public relations, social media and website development.
What is your primary product or service?
Randy Strothman & Associates offers a full range of marketing and communication services to businesses and nonprofits.

Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Randy Strothman is the owner of the company. He provides management, planning, and creative and strategic guidance and oversite for all clients and projects.
What are your hours of operation?
It would be an exaggeration to say we operate 24/7, since we're not involved with public safety, EMS, etc.! But we do often provide services when needed in the evenings and weekends.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
For business launches, the best compliment comes a few years down the road when the business is not only operating successfully, but also greatly exceeding revenue projections. The same is true for fundraising efforts.
Otherwise, our best compliments include the trust clients put in our services and decisions, plus the many thanks we get throughout the year. Another compliment comes from the fact that some clients trust us enough to give us their credit card information so we can purchase strategic services on the spot.
