Episode #163: Robyn Eagles: The People and Strategy Reshaping Robinson - The Helicopter Podcast
Welcome to The Helicopter Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!
In this episode of The Helicopter Podcast, host Halsey Schider sits down with Robyn Eagles, vice president of marketing at Robinson Helicopters, for an inside look at how one of the industry’s most recognizable manufacturers is reshaping its voice, visibility, and connection to the helicopter community.
From a historically quiet, engineering-first company to a more open, story-driven organization, Robyn shares how Robinson’s leadership team has embraced transparency, accessibility, and a more active approach to telling its story.
The conversation explores the origins of the Climb Higher campaign, Robinson’s support of real-world missions like disaster response and humanitarian flying, and the strategy behind the high-impact R88 reveal at Verticon.
Along the way, Robyn reflects on her unconventional path into aviation, the power of storytelling over selling hardware, and why helicopters—and the people who fly them—play a far bigger role in everyday life than most realize.
