In July of 2001 Bob founded, Bishop Partners, LLC and since that time has served as Managing Partner. Bishop Partners, LLC is an executive search firm specializing in modern marketing and digital media, working with clients to help identify, recruit and hire premier candidates.

After graduating from Washington University, Bob was a commercial photographer with his own studio for many years.  Bishop Photography, Inc. was considered an industry leader and innovator nationally, servicing Fortune 500 clients and the premier media channels of the day.

In 1997, Bob was recruited out of his studio by a former employer, to become Vice President and Director of Operations for Group360 Communications (Now We Are Alexander).  He successfully served in that capacity and in new business development for five years, leading eight departments and more than 70 employees in a $12MM business.

Bob is and has always been an industry leader.  In 1995 Bob served on the Board of the St. Louis Ad Club and again in 2004-2010, during which time he was Membership Chair for three years.  He was appointed to the Board of the Regional Technology Education Council (RTEC), funded by the State of Missouri and served for three years.  He was also a founding member of the Advisory Board of the Center for Visual Technology at St. Louis Community College, Meramec Valley Campus and served on that Board for over 10 years. Bob served on the Business Marketing Association Board from 2002-2005. 

In 2006 Bob founded REBUS an organization devoted to the education and career development of younger advertising and marketing professionals.  Bob served the Board of the Mid-America Search & Staffing Association (MKSSA) from 2002-2010 as Marketing Chair.   In January of 2008, Bob was invited to join the International Retained Search Association, an exclusive international organization of select retained recruiters who are leaders in their areas of specialties.   

Bob was a co-founder of the St. Louis Chapter of ASMP (The American Society of Media Photographers) and continued to serve on its Board through 1997.  In January, 2010 he was elected to the Board of the International Photography Hall of Fame and has served as the Induction Committee Chair. He continues to serve as Secretary of the Board of Directors.  In 2023 Bob was elected Co-Chairman of the Board and continues serving in that role. 

In 2009, Bob co-founded ready + willing, an association providing local non-profits the pro bono marketing support delivered by young marketing pros, that they would otherwise be unable to receive.

Covid ended up re-igniting Bob’s passion for photography and he started shooting again.  He created a temporary website (cleverly named) Bob Bishop Photography.
