While at Windmill Harbour Real Estate Company, I was lucky enough to work alongside Ryan as he helped us develop our company website and market it. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and made it fun every day with his great personality. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to gain exposure to your website/company as his team is the best around, in my opinion. Hope to work with him again in the near future.

We approached Ryan with a near impossible creative assignment which would require coordination in real time with several different moving pieces including a film crew, oh and with a hard deadline of only two days! He cheerfully accepted the challenge and led his team of rockstars to get it done on time, exceeding our already high expectations. He is a true out of the box thinker with the rare ability to execute ideas in a fun and effortless fashion. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future.

I highly recommend Ryan and the use of his services. He is very knowledgeable, professional and creative. Ryan is the guru when it comes to online marketing! He has a deep understanding of SEO, SEM, Brand Management and social media and really knows how to tie it together and make it work for his clients. Ryan did exactly what he said it would do and did it extremely quickly. I was shocked how fast his turnaround time was. Ryan has worked with Fortune 500 companies as well as smaller businesses. He comes up with game changing ideas and solutions for internet marketing that are missed by his competitors
