“Having worked with Ryan in various capacities, he is hands-down the only person I would trust outside our organisation to run our social channels, and in turn be front and centre of our brand voice and external communications. His knowledge of social and how this fits in to marketing is second to none, and his commitment to understanding our goals and helping us achieve them has been unwavering. I’d highly recommend Ryan to anyone wanting to improve their game across social channels.”

"Ryan has turned our social media into a major talking point. In every meeting with new or existing clients, someone always mentions how engaging and interesting our content is. We receive constant compliments, which is a testament to his creativity and dedication. He's such a great guy to work with that we even invite him out to our socials!"

"Ryan and I worked together over the course of three years, developing and implementing digital content strategies for a range of big organisations in the sports industry. His attention to detail, accuracy and all-round thoroughness while working at pace was, and remains, very impressive. It’s fair to say I have grown on an individual basis thanks to his qualities. Clients can be rest assured their digital property is in the best possible hands with Ryan at the helm."

“Ryan delivered a bespoke LinkedIn workshop for our corporate comms and charity teams. It was clear how much time and effort Ryan had put in to make the session unique for us, rather than an off-the-shelf product. This made it so much more valuable and insightful, and there are now plenty of ideas and suggestions for the team to make our LinkedIn content even better. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“Ryan comes with a wealth of knowledge and expertise - he has not only transformed my social media and marketing, but my entire business. Without his support and guidance, we would not be where we are today. I would urge anyone to get in touch with Ryan to lead the way for all things social media. It’s a real comfort to know that I do not have to worry about social media and that it is all in exceptionally good hands.”

"Ryan is, without a doubt, the best social media specialist I've had the privilege of working with. Not only does he have a comprehensive understanding of how each channel works - keeping up with key developments - but also brings a level of pro-activity that is often the difference maker when creating impactful social content. Ryan is an expert at organically growing a business's social media channels, and has also worked collaboratively with me on implementing an employee advocacy tool and building the confidence of individuals - empowering and supporting them to share content and build a digital network."

"I started my business five years ago and the only marketing I've ever spent money on is with Ryan. In those five years we've built a loyal customer base which means I've always had a full diary of work, and we're continuing to grow. We have social media channels to be proud of, that tell our story, how we can help our customers and why people should choose us, and much of our continued success is thanks to our presence online. Ryan is a big part of my business and I'd highly recommend making him a part of yours, too."

"We contacted Ryan when we were a start-up, beginning our journey as NexGen Business Finance. He came to meet us and offered sound advice on social media, and marketing more widely, and was honest with what we should prioritise with the modest budget we had at the time. That gave us the platform to progress, and we're now able to invest more into our marketing to scale the business. We would highly recommend that anyone needing social media management and consultancy contacts Ryan - regardless of where you're at in your journey."

How I work

My passion is getting to know people and their businesses, and the story behind them; what they want to achieve and where they want to get to – then reaching those goals with a social media presence to be proud of.

Let me show you

1. Pick your service

Take a look through my services and read more about what I can do for you and your business.

If there’s a service that suits your needs and your budget… great! Then please get in touch with me to book a discovery call.

Note: One-to-ones don’t require a discovery call – you can book that straight into my diary.

2. Discovery call

Let’s chat. An intro call gives us the opportunity to discuss you and your business, the story so far, and the challenges you’re facing.

Then we’ll get stuck into the future – what you want to achieve, where you want to get to, and how I can help you.

3. Service delivery

Once we’ve finalised the work, I’ll do exactly what we’ve agreed, within the discussed timeframe and to the best of my abilities.

Whatever service you choose, I bring with me the know-how, processes, tools and ideas from 10+ years of being a social media manager, for various people and businesses.

4. Ongoing partnership

Whether we’ve agreed a one-off service or a retained contract, I’m always on-hand to support you with your social media presence.

I’m your social media right-hand man, after all.

So we’ll stay it touch and keep our partnership going, so you always have a social media expert as part of your business set-up.

My values

I know my stuff when it comes to social media and I’ll keep learning to stay current. But this is me as a person.

Get to know me better

You can strategise and plan forever and a day. But it's the hard work, commitment and drive to get shit done that will get results - and I bring exactly that.

That means not over-complicating social media. More generally, it means doing exactly what I say I'll do.

I care deeply for the people around me, the people I work with and the businesses I represent, and aim to have a lasting, positive impact.

I love what I do, and I do it to provide the best life for my family. My wife Laura, my daughter Lyara, and our cat Stanley.
This is me, Ryan! The picture shows me smiling from ear to ear, doing my best impression of a model.

About me

Hello, there! I’m Ryan – husband to Laura, dad to Lyara (and cat, Stanley), and your new social media right-hand man.

Employed as a full-time social media manager for more than a decade, I started Social with Ryan in late 2023 to offer a social media management and consultancy service that doesn’t come with the risk and burden of hiring a new member of staff.

I provide a personalised approach; I’m not an agency, nor do I want to be. I work directly with people and businesses on a one-to-one basis, in a seamless relationship by plugging into your existing set-up.

My career has taken me to the States, Canada, India, across Europe and even onto a cruise ship in the North Sea.

I’m now at home in Northampton; ready to meet you and your business and make you a success on social media – whatever your aims may be.
