Bobby Mann

Communications and Customer Service Manager, Front Street Animal Shelter

Bobby Mann is the Communications and Customer Service Manager for the Front Street Animal Shelter. For the past seven years, he's used strategic communications to rebrand the shelter, develop robust public-private partnerships with local businesses, and build thriving relationships with the media, helping Front Street gain national recognition for its marketing. In just over a year, he's grown the shelter's Instagram to over 30,000 followers, and activates the community through fundraising events such as the Front Street Brewfest, which draws over 3,000 attendees annually. Bobby believes marketing is a critical component of lifesaving, seeing it play a major role in the shelter's improvement from a 30% save rate seven years ago to nearly 90% in 2019. Bobby unwinds from shelter life by spending time in Fort Bragg with his wife Kristin and German Shepherd Sookie.
