HOLLY ROBINSON

Founder, Advisor | Food & Beverage | Hospitality

It's true. This is a one woman show. I run my business mostly on referrals so chances are someone shared Fathom35 thinking we would create something that thrives.

​

Hailing from Walla Walla, Washington with over 20 years in food and beverage, I come from a background rich in sustainable farming, entrepreneurship and hospitality. In 2011, I joined as co-founder and owner at Captive Spirits Distilling (Big Gin), where I ran national sales and marketing for six years, growing the brand nationally to 30 states and exporting to five countries. In 2016, I helped broker the sale of the brand to Hood River Distillers, where I ran national brand marketing, sales and partnerships for Big Gin. I started Fathom35 in late 2017 to help a few industry friends run some strategic creative campaigns, negotiate distribution contracts, assist in media outreach (AKA PR). In 2018, I was asked to help co-found and create Fast Penny Spirits, where I served as CRO and then COO until June 2022.

Fun fact: I love pizza and co-own a small restaurant called Sunny Hill, in North Seattle with long time friend and surfy chef, Jason Stoneburner.

​

I am regularly found in my extensive backyard garden, listening to marketing trend report podcasts while tending to the vegetables, or at the Burien Community Center trying to make my own plates. Cooking and gathering people is something I love, and the hospitality community is an incredible place to nestle.
