In 2008, Janet Murphy Robertson founded ArtistsAndMusicians.org, a consulting firm and producer of documentaries and music and theatrical events. The firm works collaboratively with clients on the whole range of activities vital to a successful production—from marketing, PR, and business planning to photography, videography, sound effects, set design, and the sweeping of floors. A & M’s clients are located here on the Cape and across the country and include writers, actors, musicians, visual artists, architects, and other creative individuals—typically creative people who are exceptionally talented and striving for positive change in our society.
Since landing on the Cape a decade ago, Janet filmed and produced the documentary Icons of the Civil Rights Movement, helping to put the spotlight on Pamela Chatterton-Purdy’s magnificent art exhibition by this name. She also became (and remains) the documentarian for Zion Union Heritage Museum in Hyannis and researched, wrote, narrated, filmed, and produced Journeys in the Light, the 400-year history of people of color on Cape Cod. Janet and her associates do PR and marketing work for some of the leading artists and musicians on the Cape and for creative people around the country.
In her prior life, Janet was a senior consultant with Price Waterhouse Coopers, Vice President of two major retail companies (Tiffany & Company and Tommy Hilfiger), and President of the retail consulting firm Ogden Associates where she learned to juggle massive amounts of work, manage impossibly difficult projects, and routinely handle major responsibilities where she was clearly over her head.
Janet is a graduate of Vassar College where she majored in Philosophy and learned that you can do many things if you think like crazy and work like mad. She did graduate work at Drew University and the University of Paris and is a Green Belt in the world class quality improvement methodology Six Sigma.
