Here are answers to the more frequently asked questions about Ryan and Associates. I will answer any additional questions you have through the contact form.

---

Is Ryan and Associates a marketing consulting agency? 

Ryan and Associates is not an agency, but it is a sole proprietorship.  My associates are highly qualified, highly skilled individuals such as graphic designers, writers, website developers, etc. that are respected in each of their fields. I partner with them to accomplish specific marketing tasks, when and if needed.

Can I see some of your previous work?

Yes.  I have a portfolio of previous marketing work that is available for your review when you set up an appointment to discuss a marketing project. You can also see examples of my most recent work here, on my personal website.

What is your rate and how short or long of a contract are you willing to accept?

My rate is based on whatever the scope of the project is and terms are discussed in person.  I accept any length of contract that is required to get the project(s) completed, depending on what your organizations restrictions are for vendors/contractors. The contract rate can be either hourly or on a per project basis. It can be short term or long term.

I provide pricing that is lower than other marketing contractors, often by 30% or more.

What sets Ryan and Associates apart from other consultants?

I stand out from other demand generation services due to the fact that I:

• provide custom services and strategy to fit your business goals and requirements.
• have a get-it-done attitude, no matter what the obstacle are.
• have hands-on experience (so do my associates) within all aspects of demand generation and growth marketing. This reduces the need to outsource to additional contractors.
• am very enthusiastic about marketing and demand generation. I believe you often need to draw outside the lines of what is typically done.
• charge less than most marketing consultants and less than agencies.

What type industries have you consulted for?

I provide marketing services for a wide range of industries, not limited to, but including SaaS, Cybersecurity, Operational Intelligence, Data Management and evolving technologies.

Have you used AI for marketing?

I continue to experiment with generative AI for SEO, content outlines, graphics and planning.  I will continue to explore and leverage the evolving AI tools and technologies within marketing. AI can be useful for:

• Building stronger customer relations (insights, chatbots, content personalization)
• Boosting campaign ROI
• Automating repetitive tasks
• Providing a customized and comprehensive reports of marketing data and analytics

Do you also provide services for B2C (business to consumer)?

Yes. I have previously provided marketing services for B2C organizations such as a downtown retailers association, a chiropractor office, a tech startup and a larger organization, SanDisk Corporation.

When were you established?

I established my consulting services a little over 15 years ago. I paused consulting services for a period of time because I became a full-time employee for several organizations.
